The iboats forum moderators are excited to announce that at this time it appears the iboats forums posting pictures function is working once again. Though we cannot promise for how long, we're hoping for indefinitely.
I have a NOS honda t-stat for the 2003 and older honda BF25, it is stamped with 72C. My BF25 is a 2004, t-stat housings and covers and gaskets are identical, so physically this older t-stat will work..........yet in 2004 they went to a new part number. Does anyone know if it was just a temp...
Got a manual start BF15A and have all the components to add electric start, just would like to know how the positive and negative cables run inside the housing and where they come out. A photo would be excellent, but a good description would be ok. Thanks in advance.
P.S........I have a...
Run/tilt lever in the correct position........reverse will handle a little throttle but not much. The arms that grab the pin look to be in place, and all springs are there, yet with more than 1/8 throttle it will pop up in reverse. Also the arms where they grab the pin nor the pin itself looks...
I've got a bf15a that I am replacing the head gasket on.........the belt was cracked some so I decided to go ahead and replace it. I've got the gasket ordered, but need to know how to set the timing. I see where to line up the cam sprocket, but not sure about the flywheel. And what is the...
I've got a 1990 BF15 with supposedly low hours off ebay. There was some oil leakage due to shipping (although the correct side was facing up). But, after I have cleaned all the oil off of everything (inside and outside cowl).........and it has been mounted on the boat for 3 weeks........and...
Serial Number BAAS 1207453.
Was used very little on a barge shuttle boat.

2. The engine is manual start, but it has a regulator/rectifier in the front of the engine.......does...
I am looking for an older OMC 7.5-15hp outboard, short shaft.......something in the 1950-1960 series, and I want some guidance:
1. Which cowling design was the best....so far as quiet, and easy to remove? I know the early QDs had screws, then later years some cowls split side to side while...
I have found this engine that is a 1992, and is supposed to be a commercial edition built heavy duty.......is there such an animal and should they be avoided or are they sought after?

I just purchased a QD-14 off ebay, but I don't know if the engine is long shaft or short? How do you know? And can you convert one to the other? Thanks,<br /><br />Waylan
Hello and good morning to all.....I am a new member and this is my first post.<br /><br />I purchased a 2004 Honda 30hp back in February, and since new it builds up lots of black soot all around the idle exhaust port. I cleaned it up once, but it keeps coming back. I took it in for its first...
