Hi everyone,
New to the forum and looking for some help with my Honda outboard.
Local dealers have been no help unfortunately so im trying to reach out to anyone that could potentially help.
I purchased a non-functioning 1995 BF50 recently.
When I removed the cowl I noticed that the power head was in near perfect condition and looked brand new .
ON MOTOR
Model- BF50A
Serial- BAZS-1000008
After inspection I found that there was an issue with the bottom end and most likely the foward gear is stripped (lots of shaving on plug).
Anyway , there seems to be some sort of confusion with the serial # stamped on the side of the unit. No one has been able to successfully find it and shows that its not a valid #.....
I found a lower unit for what I believe is the same unit however its labeled as unavailable and in brackets (Senior Blue)?????
Basically my question at this point is :
1) Can I purchase the gears and other components separately as I could only find a part # for a complete bottom end.
2) Will any other lower units from other years and models fit this model???
For that year lower units are available for BF30,40,60 etc etc but for whatever reason the 50 lower unit is discontinued....
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated!
Adrian
