    How to reset maintenance reminder on Honda BF250D?

    With our old BF225 the procedure was to pull the safety clip, put in gear, turn key to run position then push the safety lanyard button 5 times. The process doesn’t work on the new 250 we just installed. This motor uses the fly-by-wire controls and new style ignition module. Does anyone know...

    What is this part? (2011 Honda BF225)

    My boat partner just sent me this picture from our boat (I'm out of the country). At first I thought it was a bonding wire, but in the close-up it appears to be a rubber hose with a metal pipe inside. It is broken, and I'm wondering if it part of the cooling system or what it might be. Once...

    Adding 12VDC charging to 1987 Tohatsu 40C

    In looking at the new (to me) motor, it appears that there are a pair of wires coming out from under the flywheel. They are female and have a rubber cap covering the ends of both wires. I'm assuming that this is the AC output from an alternator that already exists, and that I can gain 12v...

    Convert Tohatsu/Nissan 40C to "deadman" ignition kill switch

    Hello everyone, I just acquired a 16' Inflatable with a Nissan 40C 2-stroke motor. It has a tiller handle, but unfortunately the kill switch is the "push button" type and knowing that inflatable's have propensity to pitch their occupants overboard suddenly I want to swap it out for a "deadman"...

    OX66 250 (S250TXRX) keeps losing the "trim anode" - anyone know the spec for the bolt

    OX66 250 (S250TXRX) keeps losing the "trim anode" - anyone know the spec for the bolt OK, after replacing about 4 of these $30 parts in as many weeks (one each outing), I need to try something different. Despite using Blue Loctite and torquing to 75 to 100 ft-lbs, I am still losing them, so...

    What are the differences between 2002 Honda BF225 and a current model?

    I have a line on a low-hours 2002 vintage BF225 motor and I'm wondering what sorts of updates I'd be trading against by saving the bucks on an older model. Is the 2002 vintage also a Vtec with the "clean burn" technology, etc? I know I've read about some O2 sensor problems with the older ones...

    Yamaha Ox66 Shifter and/or throttle problem

    1999 Ox66 250 (S250TXRX) with single handle control with tilt/trim button. Has been getting "sticky" for some time, but since its been that way since I bought it (and no mechanics seemed worried about it) I just lived with it. Until it died on me and left me stranded, requiring a 6-hour tow...

    Yamaha S250TXRX (1999 OX66 250) using 2x oil it should be...

    This is a new boat to me, and I've been going through all the fuel system components (low pressure side) and resolved a previous problem with rough running and cut-out at WOT by replacing all the LP fuel pumps, cleaning and replacing the VST tank and filter, replacing all the fuel filters, etc...

    Yamaha S250TXRX bogging/stumbling at mid-range

    1999 Yamaha 250 (OX66) Per my previous thread at http://forums.iboats.com/showthread.php?t=450905, I replaced many of the fuel system components, but was still having issues with idle speed and WOT performance. Didn't have time to order/receive diagnostic equipment (out of stock/hard to find...

    Where can one find ignition key blanks for Yamaha outboards?

    My keys say Ilco HD56" on the key, but I've tried every locksmith in town, West Marine, and searched online and cannot find a source to purchase aftermarket key blanks that will work... Any suggestions?

    I've got a box full of parts... Where do I start! (OX66 250)

    Just bought a boat with an older Ox66 and unknown service record. She seems to run nicely except for at WOT she exhibits the infamous "fall back" symptom where she'll run up to 5,100 or so then drop back to the low 4's (pegging the GPH gauge) until I back slightly off the throttle, then she'll...

    Adding a tach to '91 Evinrude 30 hp w/ remote controls

    I have a RIB with a front console and controls with an electric start 30 hp Evinrude out back. It did not come from the factory with a tach, and I'd like to add one. The control appears to have a plug in the end of it (see picture), and according to the factory service guide, it will...

    REbuilding OMC controls for '91 Evinrude 30 w/ Electric start

    Can anyone point me to a good resource for finding parts and schematics for OMC controls? I have a '91 Avon RIB with a remote console and side-mount OMC controls. The neutral throttle lever is not functioning, and there is a lot of slop in the throttle in general. My guess is that it is due...

    Source for schematics and parts for early 90's OMC controls?

    I just acquired a '91 Avon RIB with an Evinrude 30 and a front console with remote controls and steering. The lever for the throttle (when starting/in neutral) is not working, and I suspect something is broken inside the control. I have spent (literally) days scouring the net for schematics or...
