    Bf 200

    To expand on what JGMO wrote, have the dealer (or someone else) hook up Dr. H and get a complete readout. I assume this is a saltwater boat, correct? Those overheats could have been as simple as putting muffs on the engine during maintenance. These big Hondas tend to overheat on muffs, unless...

    Exhaust manifold O2 sensor adaptor thread has gone - options?

    Ok. The attached SB #70 should provide clarification on whether you can use the newer HO2 sensor.

    Water cooling BF60a not working / clogged

    Probably so. My very limited experience is with BF 50s

    Water cooling BF60a not working / clogged

    The few times I have help service these engines it's not unusual to get an air block in the lower unit when using a barrel. While running at idle lift it out of the water very briefly several times, then bring accelerate rpms back and forth.

    Bennett trim tab electric problem.

    Well, if I understand this right, when you run a direct line from the battery, it works. Correct? But it doesn't work from the breaker. Sounds like the breaker may be at fault. Possible dirty/corroded contacts. Hit it hard with electrical cleaner, then switch it on and off a bunch of times and...

    Bennett trim tab electric problem.

    Where is your primary feed coming from? Directly from the battery? Or from a positive bus in the consol?

    Emergency stop circuit

    Don't know much about the 150, but their systems are a lot like the BF 225. First thing I would do is check the 4-prong connector for corrosion or bad contact. See attached diagram - "Stop". It's for a BF 225 dual engine, but I think same for BF150. Also, check the connectors on the PGM FI relay.

    2005 bf150 electronically dead. No beep, No crank, no trim, Great compression.

    Don't know much about the 150 but supposed to be one of the best Honda built. First thing I would do is to make sure you are getting power to the ECU. Also, depending on the wiring harness you have, there is a 7.5 amp fuse in that harness near your gauges. If blown not sure that would be...

    bad porpoising problem

    Likely bad weight distribution. Move more weight to the bow. If that doesn't work, think about installing trim tabs.

    Excellent write-up. Thanks for sharing.

    BF225 Gauge lights

    Try this diagram. It's for a twin engine setup, but you can easily figure it out for single engine. This is for the digital gauges.

    What am I not understanding about Honda Marine parts diagrams?

    There is a separate parts page for the VST. If I recall correctly is is labeled something like "Vapor Separator Assembly"

    honda bf 225, strange overheat beep signal?

    I suspect that you have a bad heat sensor. The trick is to find out which one of the three. If you have a four-light key switch, pull codes. Procedure is attached. What the codes mean is also attached. Best procedure is to first pull codes, write them down, clear codes, as explained in the...

    PGM indicator Panel not lighting

    Sounds good. Glad you found the problem. I recommend that you print out that diagram I sent. It can be very useful down the road.

    PGM indicator Panel not lighting

    Jgmo is correct. And there is a 7.5 amp fuse in each side of the wiring harness, too. Check those first. You've got to fish around a bit to find them. See the attached wiring diagram. (You may need to open it in Microsoft Edge.)
