I'm new to outboards but not to engines. I am gathering materials & supplies to do my first 20hr oil change and lower gear oil change on my 2017 Honda BF100. I purchased it last fall and it has performed flawlessly as my Honda cars have.
I am looking for an on-line US source for the oil plug washer and for the gear case plugs o-rings. Any suggestions? I suspect an auto part from a 1.5L will be the same but don't know. Any part numbers? The service manual does not list part numbers or sizes for these.
I have a Honda dealer in town (not where I purchased my boat - which is an hour away.) I went in and purchased most of my supplies in town as I wanted to keep the local brick & mortar guy in business. They claimed to be out of the oil drain washers. (A bit suspect as they do a lot of service here.) I also asked about having them do the service and the counter guy stated they don't use the washer on the oil plug just put it back in!??? As a former ASE auto tech I was stunned. When I asked if they have oil leaks into the lake due to this practice he said no.
Thank you all. I am new to posting here but have been following for a year.
