The displayed engine temperature has been a bit unstable recently, it usually sits @ 56 deg C or 133 deg F.
The temperature has been up to 80 C / 175 F a couple of times. The thermostat is the original from 2015 so I'm planning on replacing it.
The catalog shows two choices: 122 or 160 deg F, (...
2008 BF10D.
the maintenance schedule says to check and/or replace the internal engine anode.
When i google the engine anode, there are plenty showing up for sale.
However in the Honda parts catalog for the BF10D I can't see it anywhere, neither in the diagrams or lists of materials.

Im looking to buy a small used 14ft boat for my kids with a 2 stroke 15hp Yamaha. What should I look for when checking out the motor?
It can be run on a hose or in a barrel, but I can't test it on the water.
How do I spot gearcase slack or trouble? engine wear, charging, carburetter problems...
The boat is equipped with 1 Suzuki Digital SMIS gauge. two alarm tones sounded at startup at sea yesterday, " Change oil alarm" was displayed in text.
After silencing the alarm, a small rectangular symbol remained showing "P oil"
I would have guessed that that the letter "P" would have...
This motor is a 2014 model with 190 hours on it. I have not inspected the plugs. How long can they be used before performance deteriorates?
The Suzuki owners manual only specifies " inspect every 12 months or 100 hours". There is no change interval mentioned.
The boat just seems a bit...
The "engine voltage" reported via the NMEA2000 network and displayed on the Suzuki multi fuction instrument & and the Garmin GPSmap fluctuates from about 14.4 - 14.8 over a period of 5-10 seconds. It's the fluctuation Im concerned about not the voltage value.
I've installed a Blue Sea Systems...

boat and motor 2014. Suzuki DF150:
I was out on the water a couple of weeks ago. I accellerated from standstill rapidly. The motor died before it hit 2000rpm, the 15A sub fuse to the ECU was blown. I replaced the fuse, and all seemed ok at the time. ...Except that the Airmar DownVu sonar was...
Hey folks,
I've never changed the oil on an F100 before and I want to take enough with me when I go up to the boat next time.
The manual says 4.3 liter + filter. So does the labell on the motor.
However a service chart from yamaha at my local dealer says 3.7 liter.
Is 4.3 the factory fill vol...
Hi folks.
The lower annode on my F100 hung loose.
One M6 screw had broken. The other was part way out, but seized. Despite a very careful application of torque, the remaining screw broke.
The screws are located fairly tight into the transom which makes it a bit difficult to drill out...
Hi folks,
2005 F100. This is apparanty the same as F80 and F90.
I plan to remove the lower unit to replace the impeller soon.
How is the gear shift rod attached to the lower unit?
from what I can see in the workshop manual, it's not attached at all, and should just lift out.
last season I...

05 Yamaha F100, standard prop.
Is this damage serious? the gash is about 9/16-5/8 in. deep/ 16mm.
will it be ok to bend the gashed peice back to shape with a small adjustable spanner, or will this type of damage cause caviatation or vibration that will affect the prop shafts bearings for example.
I have a 2 stroke 40 hp DT40 suzuki outboard. There's a trim tab anode which looks pretty much brand new and a second anode on the transom clamp bracket which looks allmost new.
The anodes have probably been there a few years. Boat trips are only in saltwater, however the boat is allways...
