Dear Sir, Thank you so much for giving your knowledge freely. I just bought my boat 3 months ago and was a little intimidated until I saw how easy you made it. I have a 50 HP Honda, 4 stroke engine. I owe you a beer if I ever get to Canada. Your American friend.-Paul

Excellent tutorial with incredible detail. I just inherited a 10 year old pontoon boat that I had the whole topside remodeled and had the Honda 50hp serviced too, but I have now moved it closer to where I live and wanted to maintain it myself as much as possible. It's been years since I've had a boat and videos like this give me confidence that with proper service this pontoon will give my family years of pleasure. Thank you !!

I was wondering if you can help me. I just bought a 2006 pontoon boat that was always in freshwater but I will be using it for bay fishing in saltwater. It has the same year Honda 4 stroke on it. I do not see any flushing port on the outside of the motor. This boat will be docked after trips and there will be no way for me to reach the motor to put on muffs. Do you have anwser or solution? Thank you.

Hello, my name is Luiz Sander, I'm from Santa Catarina, Brazil. I recently bought a 2006 Honda BF50 engine, the entire inspection was carried out outside my boat, it worked perfectly, I did the installation now on my boat where it will be used, after everything was ready I went to start it and it didn't give any signal, nothing, as if it was something electrical or something, but it has power because the trim works, the engine goes up and down, but it doesn't start. Can you help me? Could you give any advice? thanks!

Hi. Thank you for excellent tutorial as I am learning about maintenance for the first time. What about the tilt? Got my boat out on the water for first time without problems. Then, next time I went to take it out, the tilt didn’t work. I used metal brush to clean battery connections and checked on fluid and all seemed fine. Just trying to trouble shoot. The boat is an ‘84 Boston Whaler and not sure how old the Honda motor is, but I imagine its at least 10 years old. Any suggestions on tilt maintenance? Thanks.
