    Generator Utility Platform

    John, or anyone with experience with the hose cap for the Honda generators. How would i get the fuel from the tank under the floor to the generator? It would seem to me that it would require a fuel pump to push the fuel up to the cap. I have the eu2000i generator on a platform similar to the...

    1998 Honda BF90 spare parts to carry

    SSBOL, you're correct. It is my understanding that if the belt breaks while running that the cam shaft stops turning but the crankshaft will continue to turn. As a result timing is thrown off and as a result valves and push rods get bent by the piston pushing up into the valve and any number...

    1998 Honda BF90 spare parts to carry

    Looking on Utube for the answer as to whether the BF90 has a belt or chain. The best i could find is that the change over between belt to chain was somewhere around 2006 when they reconfigured the entire engine. One video I saw was for a 2005 BF 90 timing belt change out. so they still had a...

    Another Gas Tank Cleat Srew Hole Repair Post

    If this were my project I would be more inclined to cut out a rectangular area to 1, be able to assess the entire problem as to weather you have rot and how extensive it is and 2, it will give you good access to dry it out and replace any balsa if required. I'm not a fan of drilling holes and...

    Princess Louisa Inlet Cruise after Friday Harbor Gathering

    Thanks Gary, good info for planning a transit thru the rapids. So basically, add a 1/2 hour to the tide chart at Pt Atkinson to get the slack current at Malibu.

    Steps in the cockpit

    I've not seen it done on any boats but many 5th wheels and travel trailers have steps that fold up and out of the way. It may take a little engineering to adapt something like that for a boat but I'm guessing it could be possible. Good luck with that.
