    BRP Website?

    Are only dealers allowed to order parts off the BRP website?? There isn't a link to create a new account to complete any orders, so I'm curious as to why. MAS

    Insulating foam under hood falling apart

    On my '94 'Rude 20 hp, the foam under the hood is chunking off in small chucks. I'm thinking in a matter of time, a bit will end up in my carb...if it hasn't already. Question: Is this foam anything special...like gas/oil resistant? What should I look for for replacement? MAS

    Yamaha F4 wash Plug

    What are the thoughts of using the wash plug verses just running the motor in a garbage can after use in salt water? It's a pain to fill a can each time, but I'm thinking the soaking the LU is better than using the wash plug. Thoughts? MAS

    '83 Honda 10 HP

    I replaced a long overdue impeller this weekend for the upcoming season. Upon removal, one vane was missing from the impeller and nowhere to be found. The motor seems to be cooling fine during sea trials, but I'm a little worried where the missing vane went. I did notice a few chewed up bits...

    (151 psi)/600 rpm for Honda 10 hp?

    I did a compression check on my Honda 10 HP 1983 era for kicks. The compression looks great...about 125 psi on each cylinder. When I consulted my OEM manual, it stated the "standard compression" should be "(151 psi)/600 rpm." In comparison, my psi is now looking a little low...but should psi...

    I recently picked up a used gearcase tester. The tester pressurizes the gearcase fine and gauge displays pressure. My question is about the gauge...which also reads vacuum. Is this tester also supposed to somehow also able to vacate the gearcase by using a different pumping action? I went to...

    Laser thermometer to use with 'Rude 20HP

    Harbor freight has one for about $30 with coupon. Most of HF's stuff (if made with more than one part) is marginal at best, but the price is enticing. Anyone have one of HF's laser thermometers that can respond with its reliability/durability/accuracy? MAS

    Factory Paint

    Anyone have good success using the factory paint (08707-PB109 ) & primer (08707-PRIMA ) sold in the aerosol cans? Is the finish as good as original (with proper prep), or marginal at best? Looks like "Neptune Blue" is the one I would need for my nicked up "83 BF100L 10 HP. MAS

    Hi, I've got an '83 BF100L 10 hp honda, and I'm looking to purchase a complete waterpump rebuild kit...is there such an animal, or do I have to buy each part individually? I checked Honda-marine.com and they list part # 06193-ZW9-010 from a pdf file under "waterpumps" ...but I'm not sure if...

    TN-26 Johnson 5hp 1950

    The pull starter wire/rope on my seahorse is in need of attention. The wire is sheathed inside "hollow rope" that has separated exposing the wire & leaving threads all over the place. I'm worried that all the little threads will cause a problem somewhere (carb, magneto, etc.). It seems that I...

    PowderCoating??

    I'm looking at a couple of my motors and thinking some painting may be required...especially with my '50 Johnson 5hp project. I've read a couple of threads with people having good results with aerosol cans with factory color etc, but having just had an aluminum railing powder coated...it got...

    OMC Rod Cap Alignment Tool

    Just curious...does this tool prevent misalignment due to "slop" in the bolt holes...or due to distortion as the bolts are torqued and is equalized by lateral pressure of the tool...and later locked when the rods are torqued? Wouldn't the rod bolts have shoulders to automatically align rod &...

    '51 Johnson TN-26 5hp (classic eggbeater)

    OK, I'm trying to "wake up" an old Johnson 5hp that I picked up with no knowledge of its history. The motor actually looks pretty clean with no sign of corrosion! The paint & metal are in real good condition. :-) I lubed up the cylinders and mixed up some 24:1 fuel mix....no life after many...
