Saving a sunk Honda BF40 outboard motor

[@alexbyrd7209]

I always enjoyed the serious of your videos about BF40. I own 1995 version of one myself for 7 years. Just wanted to share one hack that I come up with to fix water circulation in it. I replaced water pump but it is still have a bad circulation and used to burn my thermostat every 6 month. While replacing thermostat, I noticed white build up going all the way down to the system. Given that, I connected gear lube pump to water output and pumped a 2-3 quarts of CLR into the system. Flushed it with water after and it works like a charm from that point :) Water runs noticeably stronger and thermostat issue is not happening anymore.

[@MrWilliam.Stewart]

Motor and parts, less than a grand. Stus knowledge and skills, priceless! The man has the skills to pay the bills.

[@DangarMarine]

Thanks mate, this motor is still going strong, it was certainly a good score. :)

[@alexrichardson8375]

the video shows the orange motor. What is that call or what is the part nr for the is what I need to buy. but how am I able to buy it. All the other parts I have

[@alexrichardson8375]

7215801584 what's up send a message if possible. maybe buy it via eBay but I don't know what that motor name

[@stevenvee11]

We dropped a Honda 40 hp off the back of a dingy into 35 feet of water in the Caribbean. We couldn’t get it off the bottom so we called the charter company where we rented the catamaran. We tied a bleach bottle onto a line to the motor and gave them the GPS coordinates. A couple hours later they came out to retrieve the motor and took it back to the dock. We watched them disassemble the motor spray it with freshwater take a few bits off spray with air then oil and WD-40. They then reassembled and started the motor. Incredible. From that point forward I always bought Honda motors for my outboards.

[@svzigzag5898]

Steven Schmidt It’s not the fact that it’s a Honda it’s the care they gave it! I know one Mercury that has been swimming 8:times and it still is running fine! The kid that owns it is an expert service mechanic! I dare say he can disassemble that engine with his eyes closed. He is a sailor too. Dingy engines get dunked a lot! Maybe because the sailors get dunked a lot. Oh no I did not say that did I oh goodness I did

[@ttttonyyyy]

Can't tell you how useful this is for looking after my old Honda BF50. This is much easier to understand than the manual :)

[@alnbaba]

What a deal on the motor you where really lucky it runs real nice and the controls weren't frigged up. The only $200 motor around here is a 1964 28hp Evinrude so you really scored. I liked how you went through all the systems and eliminated salting and water issues before starting. Learning something from all your video's keep up the great content.

[@DangarMarine]

Thanks mate, I was really lucky to score this one. Just happened to be in the right place at the right time. I'm pretty confident with the clean up job it has had, now I just need to get it out on the water and see how it goes!

[@thedoctor8381]

​@@DangarMarineStu i had the same stroke of luck this week, the guy who came in this week at marina asks "where is the scrap metal bin?, any chance you can help me toss this outboard (Honda BF20D)" I helped him carry it to my shipping container workshop!

[@PerrynBecky]

That was a steal! I wish I could get one for my 14 ft boat. I bet it would FLY with one of them. I really love your videos. I was an auto mechanic for 35 years before I became disabled, and I love boats and learning something new. This is a field I never worked on before in any depth on boats, so this is enjoyable for me.

[@retiredcarpenter8554]

This Yank loves your channel it's like going to school for a subject I have no knowledge in and walking away feeling like I have at least some understanding of how these engines work now …..thank you

[@Bill23799]

Great use of our old friend, WD-40, for the purpose for which it was originally designed. Water Displacement Formula # 40 was originally created to displace water in Minuteman Missile components.

[@edwardmulder3777]

After every time my old boss would take his speedboat out ,he would spray down his outboard with wd40 then wipe it all off.

[@bjblaisdell5704]

You are an awesome mechanic and teacher. I am an old mechanic that is getting into the marine work. You make the transition easier. Keep it up if you can.

[@shaddec55]

Now and then we get a smile from the gods of salvage hovering above us, and you, sir, were granted absolutely fawning smiles from them all with this find! Beautiful engine, really immaculate condition considering what might have been. And you basically 'stole' it for A$200.00! Beyond sweet! Love your vids, dude, rock on!

[@xsbuilder1]

Good choice on that BF40. I own one and I am very happy with the performance and reliability. I bought mine to use on a small boat I built from scratch. At the time, the BF50 cost less than 10% more and I seriously considered going to that, but the 40 was a better fit for that boat . Now in retrospect, I wish I had gone the extra bucks. I am restoring a 62 year old 16 ft fiberglass runabout and I want put the BF40 on it because it is such a (low hours) nice running engine. So now I really wish I had the BF50! Oh, and if I was to buy a new engine, my choice would be the Tohatsu 50. Keep up the DIY boating videos, they are really helpful.

[@DangarMarine]

Yes, I've been really happy with the BF40, it has run perfectly so far. I too would consider the Tohatsu if buying a new motor.

[@davida1hiwaaynet]

Awesome! I Love seeing someone restore and repair something like this. I'm sure it will give you a long life and great service!

[@DangarMarine]

Thanks mate, so far it has been running really well.

[@johnnylee1567]

I just want to let you know, your channel is very informative and I do appreciate it. I’m just starting getting into boating and your channel have help me greatly.

[@somerandomguy3868]

Honda makes great small engines for sure, hope you did yourself a favor and saved the old starter, clean it, put it back together and set it on the shelf

[@gordonagent7037]

Mate had a bloody good laugh, as most of us did, about the shortfall in the finance dept, at least the cook didnt get the blame in this instance. I watch your videos and dont even own a boat but your content is interesting and I learn something which is always a bonus as love seeing how different motors, whether, land, sea or air work and so far you make the most sense. Retired in Hervey Bay now, a top spot for sure so who knows, might get a tinny and do some fishing. Cheers heaps

[@DangarMarine]

Hey Tim, glad you enjoyed the video. I'm sure your Honda will give you plenty of years of good service. :)

[@ch2305]

Great videos. I've learnt so much from you. It'd be neat to see you diagnose and bring back to life more of these 'wrecked' outboards.

[@DangarMarine]

Thanks mate. I would also like to do more videos on diagnosing rather than just specific repair jobs.

[@steveshoemaker6347]

Old boat motor Manchanic here in Tennessee.USA...l go way back... Thanks very much !!

[@SirPrancelot1]

Really interesting thanks, informative and straight forward. No music, ads during the video or other distractions. Makes me feel like finding an outboard that doesn't work and trying to fix it. I don't know anything about boats but hope to have one one day and will refer to your channel. Glad you found such an amazing bargain. Was shocked when you said how much a new motor was in Australia but perhaps it's the same in the UK, or worse. Aus is a lot closer to Japan/Korea/China than we are so shipping should cost less. Appreciate the effort you put in creating this channel and sharing your knowledge. You now have twenty-nine thousand and one subscribers. All the best.

[@DangarMarine]

Thanks mate, glad you liked the vid. If you are looking for a project to tinker with in the shed then I think finding an old outboard to bring back to life is a good one, you can certainly save yourself a lot of money over new. :)

[@SirPrancelot1]

That's the truth! Good to know how things work too. Just watching you put the pistons into the Evinrude. One day it's 40 degrees and the next it's a tropical rainstorm! You make me realise how meticulous you have to be when doing this sort of thing. All of the cleaning and using so many different lubricants and sealants and working to a fraction of a millimetre. Impressive.

[@ibsn87]

ahh my wife bought one of these motors new on her first boat. Make sure you tape up the aux water intake holes when your flushing with muffs! over the long term we found It burns the plastic on the waterpump through water starvation even though it looks like its flushing fine!

[@DangarMarine]

Interesting, I'll have to look into that. Thanks for sharing!

[@ibsn87]

Dangar Marine ahh yes! I put a link from the Honda manual in the comment below in case you missed it 👍🏻 best of luck! Really love your videos. A huge amount of time goes into making them. I watched a bunch of them even though they were not even relevant to my needs haha. Just learning :) I’ve pulled apart my old Johnson 90 1987 many times, which I still have going but I retired for no reason other then age the other day... I literally have the urge to pull apart my “new” perfectly good 2005 115 Johnson 60 degree just to learn about it. Very different to the 90 degree motor that’s for sure! Keep up the good work! And yes watch out for the flushing trap on the Honda! 😃

[@johncarraway5148]

You Tube just introduced us. I enjoy watching what you do. Thanks.

[@DangarMarine]

Nice to meet you John. :)

[@RaksasaMentawai]

Epic, just bought 2 older abused BF20's sight unseen and have to go through everything before first startup

[@svzigzag5898]

I got a good trick I will share with you! On the older Yamaha’s the large metal piece that fits between the prop and the seal on the propeller shaft do not have a line catcher! The newer models have the line catcher. The metal piece on the older models is flat on the front side. The metal piece on the newer models is not flat. It has a 90 degree 1/4 inch extension on the center next to the prop shaft. If that metal part on the front is machined off with a grinder or lathe the new part will now fit perfectly on the old motors!!!! The line catcher is in the back. The point is, it gives the old outboard foot a fishing line catcher!!!!! The aggravation is well worth it if you fish! The line catcher works! One time it saves that darn rubber seal the line catcher becomes a great friend!, I hope you can use this for all the stuff you show us. Enjoy the tip!

[@DangarMarine]

Good tip. It's always a great feature to have on an outboard, particularly if you like fishing as you say.

[@somerandomguy3868]

You got great deal on a great outboard, always liked that engine Honda makes great stuff and that's no exception

[@DangarMarine]

Thanks Lonnie, you're most welcome. :)

[@SwampCityRadio1974]

I've got one of these on the back of a small houseboat I recently bought. The tell tale is more of a drip, the idle hunts up and down, the revs catch at around 2000 then once over that hump spool up smoothly. Have put a new external fuel filter on, changed a fuel hose and adjusted the fuel/air screws. It idles better but obviously needs a carburettor clean out and the cooling system needs an overhaul. I think you might have convinced me to persist with it, get a shop mechanic to do an overhaul and save a few bucks, well, compared to buying a new motor.

[@alansailing1387]

We have one of these outboards at the yacht club with 1600 hours on it, still running fine. One common issue with the telltale is the fitting that screws into the engine that the rubber hose fits onto. This fitting rusts and blocks the telltale flow. We have a piece of coat hanger wire on the boat that we poke into this fitting to clear it each year. My current car was fished out of a lake back in 2008, I bought it at an auction for the right price, spent 3 months getting the engine and all the electrics running again and still drive it around today. Apart from the Piston/Rod, computers, motors that control the heater settings, most of the parts, including the starter are the original, and I still drive this vehicle today.

[@DangarMarine]

Glad to hear the motor is still going well. That bodes well for this one. It's amazing how long things last after taking a swim. We have a Subaru in the workshop at the moment that was in an underground car park during a flood. It needed a new ECU as they are low in the footwell, but everything else was just cleaning, drying and lubricating.

Hey Stu great vids, great memories. Spent my whole child hood and teenage years fishing Pittwater and the Hawkesbury. The bridge pylons were always a mecca for big Jews on a tasty yakka. Currently own a 1987 4mtr Stacer runabout with a 2003 30hp Johnson 2 stroke so your videos on this motor are great. Still have the original 1987 johno 30 which came with the boat which I think has thrown a bearing on the crank as it matched the symptoms you described only turning a little bit but not seized. Might have a go at fixing it. Currently living in Brisbane fishing Moreton Bay . Great videos and thanks for the memories.

[@DangarMarine]

Thanks Trev, glad to hear you've been enjoying the vids and they have been helping you. Good luck with the fix, could just be bad roller bearing.

[@edwardmulder3777]

Hey there Dangar marine, A suggestion with regards to cleaning that starter motor is if you have one of those carbie cleaning baths,its a sonic cleaner in liquid ,something like that cleans carbies up real nice in about 20 minutes or so. Really enjoy your videos. Thank you.

[@rfbraunjr1]

Hi Mate, I have a suggestion. I like the idea of blowing out the control cables to remove sea water. I had the idea to blow a bit of alcohol through them first since alcohol mixes with water. Then shoot the oil in. Could remove more of the water, but its just an idea.

[@DangarMarine]

Giving it a clean with alcohol first sounds like a good way to go.

Good save on the Honda. I noticed you did nothing with the rubber hose on/in the lower unit ... That is a feed from a built-in "pitot" tube facing the front of the lower leg. It picks up water pressure from the slip stream and will signal a water pressure speed-o-meter. Nice to have when you are trimming/tuning. Compare speed to RPM, etc. Next time you are in there, tidy it up and route up the leg to the transom clamp. Simple vinyl tubing will get the signal to the dash and your new gauge. It's a handy Honda feature :)
