    2005 BF30D5 Long Tiller Trim/Tilt Switch Grommet Problem

    Another thought... does anyone here actually have a BFxx outboard with long tiller handle and power trim/tilt switch installed in the handle? If so, could you please provide a close-up photo of the grommet and switch from the outside, so I can see if it is one or two pieces? All of the Honda...

    2005 BF30D5 Long Tiller Trim/Tilt Switch Grommet Problem

    Hi from Canada. Conversion of the factory gas-assist tilt to power trim/tilt on my 2005 Honda BF30D5 long tiller model is now functional except for one nagging problem... the specified grommet to seal the switch and handle doesn't fit. The long tiller handle had a rubber grommet in the factory...

    Honda BF30D5 Trim/Tilt Switch wiring

    Big success for me on connector crimped pin & wire removal! As jgmo suggested, this job involved pushing down a plastic tab to release the small metal pin retainer and then the wire easily pulled free from the connector. The first trial was on a gray cable that I didn't care about but it worked...

    Honda BF30D5 Trim/Tilt Switch wiring

    Thanks again, jgmo. I might try the hogging-out method you so practically suggest but only if I have a working model to follow. There is a metal bracket that sits in a wide groove on the backside of the rubber plug grommet to hold it firmly in place so the seal is tight. I've attached 4 more...

    Honda BF30D5 Trim/Tilt Switch wiring

    One more picture... this shows trim/tilt switch installed without any grommet, so water can just pour in... unacceptable. Honda 35643-ZW4-H02 grommet, which is supposed to fit properly, is too short so a gap of at least 1/8" remains. So close yet so far! Gary

    Honda BF30D5 Trim/Tilt Switch wiring

    The hollowing-out option is a bit too ambitious for me, jgmo. Too much work and with my 76 years and declining eyesight I'd be almost certain to ruin the grommet. I'm sure there is the proper Honda grommet for this motor somewhere in the world but what it's part number is is what I'm trying to...

    Looks like photos are now available, jgmo. I used Photoshop Elements 7 to resize them to about half their original size (about 1.5 MB each).

    Thanks for the insight on pictures, jgmo. I did get one rejected because it was declared too big but all the others seemed to upload ok. Maybe I'll try downsizing pictures but afraid it will compromise quality. Gary

    Somehow pictures didn't get added. Hopefully this try will work. Gary

    Honda BF30D5 Trim/Tilt Switch wiring

    I've just bought a 2005 BF30D5 model LHGC that was converted from gas-assisted tilt to power trim/tilt by salvaging the transom bracket from a remote control LRTC model that was being scrapped. I believe mine could now be properly called a model LHTC, except that Honda didn't make such a BF30...
