Hello, I haven't had to seek any help in quite a while. That's a good thing. My son has a twin Suzuki df200 set up and it has been fine for 4 years. (probably 900 hrs or so) Symptoms in order he noticed them. Initially the port motor tilted up considerably slower than it ever has. (in...
New (to us) Suzuki 200 hp 4 stks. 2008. Can anyone describe for me the location and method of adjusting the tilt height? One motor has lower unit in the water, the other out. No big problem but I'd like to even them up and out of the water. I understand that the adjustment is easy but...
Haven't had to inquire here in some time. (that is a good thing) We have a new (to us) Maycraft with twin Suzuki 200s. I noticed that the motors are not exactly parallel and asked around. The riggers from the place of purchase say that there should be a slight toe out of the props. Ours is...
Haven't posted here in a while. I guess that is a good thing. We just purchased a used boat with Suzuki 200 4 stks. (2008) Where can I find the attachment for flushing. This would be the item that looks much like a regular garden hose attachment used for flushing with motor off. I have...
I want to put a water separater on a bf50. The motor is a 2003 and the boat is a 1994. I'm sure that when I fill it with E10 I'll get a tidal wave of crap cleaned out of the tank. It's been unused for about a year and still hasn't gotten a shot of E10. The fuel had been treated and I ran it...
I haven't posted here for a while. (Problems have been minimal and simple to fix) There is a post on THT that deals with Ed's superstore and there are a couple of posts from a user calling himself Rodbolt. Couldn't be. The poster is rude and near illiterate. He claims that his photo is used...
There is/was a pretty lively discussion going on on THT about a corrosion situation that is alleged to be fairly common on smaller HP Honda lower units. First time that I heard anything like that but sometimes miss weeks or months of posts. Has anyone seen the discussion or have any insight...
I just heard that there is a recall on these motors. I don't have the specifics on the year or exact reason for the recall. It is a corrosion problem of some sort. Just a heads up, especially for those who have a previously enjoyed Honda of that HP.
While conducting an exasperating search for a gear lube pump for a bf50, I found two Honda dealers who are no longer going to sell them Both are turning to Yamaha. Since I bought my motor only 2 years ago, this wasn't exactly music to my ears. Both of the dealers mentioned how difficult it...
I did a search but did not find anything just like this. The trim on a 1999 bravo 3 will only raise the outdrive a few inches. The trailer switch will raise it all the way without problem. I moved the port side trim adjuster as far as possible but got very minimal improvement. A friend with...
A report for you guys who gave me the tips for the trip. The weather finally gave us a shot on Friday and we left Manasquan Inlet about 11 AM. Ocean wasn't perfectly flat but was excellent for this time of year. Entered Cape May inlet right about 2:15 PM. I was surprised at how quickly we...
We are the new owners of a 99 boat with a mercruiser bravo 3 outdrive. We just recently figured out that it has the wrong props. (28p) We are looking for a pair of 24p props. My question is about the prop diameters. Are all bravo 3 props the same except for pitch? Are there any other...
We have a (new to us) pilot house boat and the door is warped at both the top and bottom by about 3/4". Not enough to cause any real problem but I would like to correct it. Anyone ever had/corrected this particular problem? Thanks Granpa<br />Should have added; the door is fiberglass w...
A report for those of you who helped me with suggestions. I had broken off a plastic drain plug in our 5.0L mercruiser while winterizing. It appears to be completely out using a combo of all your suggestions. Several different sizes of easy outs were needed to get up into the drain and used...
Well, it was bound to happen. New boat, new problem. I was winterizing our new to us, 99 mercruiser 5.0L Mpi and managed to break off the plastic drain plug on the port manifold/riser. It didn't take much pressure to do it and I suspect that it has never been replaced. I was surprised at...
