    Honda BF60a overheating issues

    I've run the boat 4-5 more times, 3 to 7 miles per trip, without throwing an overheat alarm. Seems like the issue may be fixed (fingers crossed). Thank you all for pointing me in the right direction, I really appreciate it. This board is a goldmine for Honda owners.

    Thanks, that was informative. The product I've been using is CLR - don't know why I was calling it DLR

    Honda BF60a overheating issues

    Took out thermostat expecting it to be gunked up- clean as a whistle. Ran it a mile with thermostat out, no problem. Put thermostat in ran a couple miles, no alarm. Ran another 3 miles, no alarm. Yesterday ran 3 miles no alarm. Maybe a good cussin did it some good.

    Honda BF60a overheating issues

    Seems like we're going backwards now. Alarm goes off within 100yds of getting on top. Will run all day at 2200rpm with cool water flowing from pisser. Get on top, alarm goes off within 100yds and very hot water out of pisser all morning. Extremely frustrating. I'm just about to the point of...

    Honda BF60a overheating issues

    May have to go that route. Ran it today with mixed results- on one hand I was up to 5000rpm for several miles several times with no alarm. On the other hand I had alarm go off 3-4 times within a couple miles twice. Pulled thermostat and still getting some crusty stuff in it. Thinking I've...

    Honda BF60a overheating issues

    Yesterday I had run 2 rounds of vinegar and was flushing my 2nd round of DLR when she sort of coughed and spit out a BUNCH of crud. Water flow out of the hub and pisser immediately jumped. Haven't had a chance to drop her overboard yet today but I feel like we got her. It took 5 soak/flush...

    Honda BF60a overheating issues

    No, I'm just pouring them into a water hose and hooking the hose to the hose flush attachment on the motor. Turn on the water just long enough to push solution into motor, then turn water off and let it soak in there for 15 mins. Then turn water back on and flush for 15 mins. I alternated...

    Honda BF60a overheating issues

    It really doesn't take much. Those cooling channels around the block are small on a Honda and, of course, the thermostat opening is very small. I wouldn't have guessed the little bit of salt and deposits I could see would cause a problem, until you start poking around with a wire into those...

    Brackish but leaning heavily to the saltier side.

    Honda BF60a overheating issues

    Progress report. Checked motor with IR heat gun to confirm it was in fact overheating. Ran it with the thermostat out up to 5500rpm with no alarm. So we've deduced it's indeed a water flow problem. Took the housing cover off, poked and prodded into the holes with wire to break up some of the...

    Honda BF60a overheating issues

    Hi all. I have a 2019 BF60a LRT that is driving me nuts overheating. It runs fine at idle or very low speed (under 2500 rpm) but when you get on top, after 100-200yds the overheat alarm goes off and drops the rpms. It shoots out a great stream of water. I have replaced the thermostat, water temp...
