  • The new outboard for the Green Machine finally arrives. It came out of the blue and wasn't what I was aiming for, but you should never look a gift horse in the mouth. It turns out to be a 2004 Honda BF40 four stroke that had sunk, but at only $200 I just couldn't pass it up! This video goes through all the repairs I did to fix it after its sinking.

    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.

    Hi!
    My pivot tube looks very corroded, pretty much like yours on frame 3:59.
    You say it's not worth it to disassemble all unit to get that out and repair, but i'm really aiming to do some preventive action to slow down this corrosion.
    Do you recommend any product like, rust converter or something else we can apply on site without getting that part out?
    Thanks a lot and keep up the good work!

    My F40 2009 has a defective high pressure fuel pump.... a nightmare. For whatever reason the dealer did not replace it when the bulletin was the released by Yamaha. I was chasing after an overheating issue because it seemed temperature related and it is. But no alarm on the control, raised alarm! Why did it not sound upon RPM roll back? Fuel starvation? But it worked fine when cold. The HP fuel injection pump! I read forum and ordered a Quantum after market for $69 USD... hopefully this is the problem. It all points to it. Maybe it is low pressure pump too? The dealer gave me a kit free given the history operation was successful other than one broken nut.... aghhh the 2 bolts look the same but were different and ended up getting stuck in the block.... solutions?

    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.

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

    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
      @DangarMarine  6 років тому

      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.

  • @ronpowell2373
    @ronpowell2373 8 років тому +3

    You would have to put that in the bargain of a lifetime bucket surely? Is there a big difference between a BF40 and 50hp of that year? Often it is just a cam or timing difference for that 10hp difference with 4 stroke carb engines. With 2 strokes it was often a main jet , but in 4 strokes you can't do that without causing issues. But that extra 10hp may be worth chasing as you have so little invested in the engine so far. As for the starter, I base such decisions on my own time being worth $20/hr to me. So for about 6hrs work cleaning the starter up, about $40 in bearings, another $40 for brushes, and $60 for a new end cap, plus the run around time / shipping costs, that $300 starter was the way to go.

    One of the best outboard motors IMO in the United States we call those Hondas the Grey Ghosts because many police boats use them and you cant hear their engines when they are following you at night without any running lights they like to sneak right up to the side of your boat to make sure people aren’t drinking or smoking Marajuania on board one night my best freind and i were riding on someone else’s boat and the two of us had not noticed a police boat only a few feet from us as it was a Inflateable with the Honda motors on it eventually the police turned on the strobe lights and we both were surprised how close they were to our boat he and I laughed later about that one because the officer said he was idling on the dock we were on at a restaraunt and watched us having drinks there he wanted to check the paperwork on the boat and the drivers sobriety which was legal as they only wrote a warning On safety equipment and let us go on our merry way which was a short distance to our final destination for the evening ! And yes i can also relate to being under budget on outboard motors to the point i almost hoard them when i find a decent deal on a used one BTW ive owned 17 or 18 boats so far in my life and i probably wont stop anytime soon in my defense i grew up in Florida and we lived only 13 blocks from the Atlantic Ocean and about a hour and a half to the Florida Keys both of where i fished and Scuba Dove quite a bit

    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
      @DangarMarine  6 років тому

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

    420 quintrex busta is now around $15000 mark these days with a 40hp The motors are worth $8k for a 40hp $7k for a 30hp .. Mercury is probably the cheapest if you can get a Japan Version not the American one japan’s better .. and I wonder why he is saving money Who has $8000 on new motor.

    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.

      Thanks mate. So far, nothing. I think I need to come up with a good plan for that one as I'm worried I'm just going to make it worse if I don't get it right. I should show some more close ups of it and call for some advise.

    First time viewer. Enjoyed the vid as outboards have always fascinated me. Are there any torque specs for some of the nuts and bolts, especially the prop?
    Keep em coming👍

    • @DangarMarine
      @DangarMarine  3 роки тому

      The service manual for each outboard will give you the specific torque specs. Props aren't tightened very much at all. Snug it up lightly and then turn it until you can get the split pin in the first hole.

      Thanks mate, no, this motor is pretty good on fuel. It gets the boat up on the plane at about half throttle so it isn't too thirsty.

  • @paciencia0956
    @paciencia0956 3 роки тому

    Great video.
    I got one of the carburator honda bf90a that where sold as 50hp and on the back they put "50pro" what they did was limit the amount of throttle you could accelerate (4500rpm max)wich right now I cant seem to find that piece to make it accelerate and develop the 90hp if there even exists one, only way to "fix" it I see is getting the cable conection closer to the wheel to increase travel but it will also require more force. Have you come across these engines and know what ppl did to make it develop the 90hp? (open carburators to 100%)

  • @max9068
    @max9068 8 років тому +1

    Sweet motor & another outstanding video! Here in the U.S. when 4 strokes have been submerged, a common practice is to pickle them with diesel fuel. The diesel is supposed to inhibit corrosion. Have you resuscitated any outboards that were pickled with diesel?

    • @DangarMarine
      @DangarMarine  8 років тому +1

      Diesel is really good for all sort of jobs like that, and as an added bonus it is a lot cheaper that anything you buy in a spray can so you can use lots of it. I've also seen it pumped in a recirculating tank to unseize motors too. Methylated spirits also has its place because it is water soluble and will carry the water away with in. It doesn't have the protective qualities so Methylated spirits first then diesel second is a good combination.

  • @brocluno01
    @brocluno01 4 роки тому

    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 :)

    I have a Honda BF150 and when I changed the impeller it took maybe a minute for the telltale to start squirting. I guess it takes some time for the water pump housing and the cooling lines to fill. Maybe?

    • @DangarMarine
      @DangarMarine  7 років тому +2

      Good question, I'm trying to remember how I found that out. Auto stores very rarely have any parts match for outboards. I would start by searching the original Yamaha part number and "cross match" on the internet and see what you come up with. I think that's what I did.

    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.

    What happens to the engine when it drops into water with a key while it is moving at a higher speed. Does engine switched off immediately it sunks into water or it keeps moving until the fuel in the quabulator finishes. Please help l lost my Marine engine a week ago. I checked where it was dropped but I couldn't find it
