You know that is a good point. When I noticed the leak was when we got back from a 5 day trip from the coast. The boat was moored every night, so didn’t get an opportunity to see how much was being used each day. After getting home is when I checked the oil level and noticed the problem. We...

My apologies, I thought my name was in the sidebar. My name is Alex. I appreciate your elaboration on the process. Haven’t 100% decided to go for the fix or repower yet. But if I go for the fix I’ll be sure to document it all here. Best,

Thank you Steve for the link and lending your expertise! With the parts being less than $20, it seems like I should explore this a bit more. A couple questions for you if I may: 1. There is no way to change those seals without removing the powerhead, correct? Anything else I should be...

Went to do the winterization of the 2005 Honda bf50’s today (four strokes). Before starting, I noticed an oil stain below the starboard motor. It smells like motor oil, not like gear oil. After using this motor last, I noticed the oil was very low. So I’m assuming there is a leak. Any...

Interesting yours is purple/red. I looked back through most of the photos on this thread and couldn’t find any pictures like mine. It feels very tough whatever it is. As for the sealing, I meant that I was sealing up the exposed balsa from the inspection port cuts. The inspection ports are for...

I bought this boat used, it already had two inspection ports when i bought it. 1 is right at the back of the cabin, as you walked through the door. The second is in the v-berth. I am in the process of removing the inspection ports and sealing them with epoxy. Can anyone can tell me what this...

There is probably 50-100 hours at most on those plugs. I only troll with one motor at a time. And when you say “run it up” you mean increase the throttle (to try and burn off the carbon)? Or do you mean run the motor trimmed up?

I dont think the flywheel got turned around, not sure how I could tell for sure? Plugs are all the same, replaced last summer. I synched the carbs last summer too, so maybe I adjusted the mixture a bit too. Ill have to double check that. I ordered a new fly wheel, while that is in route could I...

Wow, yours took a beating. Did you end up ordering new flywheel or did it continue running like that with one less magnet?
