I just ordered a Honda 90 for my '86 Angler with a dealer install in Duluth, MN, where they don't expect to get one until June or July. I'd like to know what type of gauges you had installed as I'm trying to figure out the best way to get the fuel flow information from the engine displayed.



When, I repowered with the twin Honda 60’s, I chose, the cheaper analog gauges, that just show rpm motor hours, due to the cost of the more expensive digital gages & thinking fairly soon, I would be updating chart plotter where all the nmea 2000 motor information could be displayed there. The route I’m now going is turning to be a even more expensive. I replaced the old Garmin 545 with a Raymarine Axion 9+ & don’t want to to diminish the view on it, but still wanted multiple motor information viewable all the time. The answer to this became now installing Honda HD-4 digital gauges with the needed nmea 2000 network. This, I’ve combined with the Raymarine nmea 2000 system, including auto pilot into one network bringing together gages, chart plotter & auto pilot with information shared between them & can easily add different items to the network in the future. It’s been a tough learning process for me to bring all this together with some light at the end of the tunnel, as I head out today, where it’s presently 7 degrees F to install the nmea 2000 lines on the motors & then run them to the back of the helm.

I have been going through the break in process on my new Honda motors and have a question. Compared to the Suzuki I replace the steering on the new BF90 is very stiff. Is this normal at first and/or is there an adjustment? Thanks.

I read that the 90 hp honda can out at 105 hp also but honda did not want to compete in that market for verse
reasons.
