I just had my 2004 C-Dory-22 re-powered going from Suzuki 70Hp to Honda 90Hp with a 5Hp kicker. I found the Suzuki to be very unreliable over the years. Always little things but they constantly interfered with being out on the water. It took about 3 months to get the 90Hp (everyone including Honda blamed the virus). Planning to launch tomorrow and continue the break-in process.

That looks like a clean installation.

I plan on installing a kicker on the 22 Cruiser we bought last summer, and was not sure there was room to mount directly to the transom. We have the swim platform on the port side, which forces the kicker to starboard amongst the cables and all.

Is your kicker linked to the 90 for steering?

Awesome choice. We love our V-tec Honda 90. The only problem I've ever had with it is one of the cooling hoses under the cowl would pop off flushing with a hose at the dock. Probably more of an issue with uneven hose pressure than the outboard itself. I fixed it with a small zip tie and it's never happened again. Just rock solid reliability.

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.

Very nice. Our boat was repowered from the original Handa 75HP to the 90HP. We have a Honda 9.9 HP as our kicker. One thing you may want to consider is adding a Permatrim to the 90. It works really well.

Not at this time. I had that capability with my Suzuki kicker but never used.

I used the standard Honda gages (I can get the details and a picture). I have the fuel gage installed but it is not connected at this time (didn't want an empty slot for now). I am not sure how you make that work with two separate tanks...I guess two gages? I have never had that before...only "looking at the tank" visual gage. Not a big requirement for me but curious how others made it work. Thanks.

Yes I am considering...I had one on my Suzuki and really liked...made a big difference. Thanks!

I have had boats with 2 tanks - 1 gauge and a toggle switch. The gauge displayed whichever tank was connected via the toggle switch position.

Regards,

Rob

I read somewhere that the Honda 90 has significantly more power than 90 hp. Anyone else every come across that?

I wonder if this is based on the fact that the 100 hp Honda is the 75/90 hp with some minor tuning. This is a 1496 CC block. The 115, 135 and 150 share the 2354 CC block (and119# more weight).

A lot of the outboard motors use the same block for a wide range of HP--for example most of the major players have the same block for 150, 175 and 200 hp. Some have a second HO with a large block 200, which is also the 225 and 250 hp. Weight makes a lot of difference.

I'm reasonably sure it was from a popular publication fairly recently. Their dyno test was showing close to 105 hp. I wish I could remember where I saw it. Those in the know about dyno tests wouldn't bet the farm that Honda 90s actually have 105 hp at the prop, but I expected less hp, not more.
