Excellent tutorial with incredible detail. I just inherited a 10 year old pontoon boat that I had the whole topside remodeled and had the Honda 50hp serviced too, but I have now moved it closer to where I live and wanted to maintain it myself as much as possible. It's been years since I've had a boat and videos like this give me confidence that with proper service this pontoon will give my family years of pleasure. Thank you !!

Try Lucas ethanol fuel conditioner with stabilizers. I've used it for years. I've never had an issue as long as I added it to my fuel. 1oz per 5 gallons.

There is a large socket that attaches to a 1/2in ratchet wrench to easily remove the filter.CHEERS from HERE! P.S. Ethanol free gas no longer available here on Van.Isle as of Oct 1st.except at lawn mower shop for $30.00 a gal.

Why waste money on a filter socket when channel locks work just fine. That's sad if you can't get ethanol free fuel anymore. Ethanol is garbage

Hello, great video. Very useful. Could you please tell me how much oil should be in the tailpiece? After a 50 hours of use, ours doesn't even get a liter left. Where does this go then? Everything is dry and clean.

You've got a leak somewhere if your gear oil is running dry. You'll need to take it into a shop

I was wondering if you can help me. I just bought a 2006 pontoon boat that was always in freshwater but I will be using it for bay fishing in saltwater. It has the same year Honda 4 stroke on it. I do not see any flushing port on the outside of the motor. This boat will be docked after trips and there will be no way for me to reach the motor to put on muffs. Do you have anwser or solution? Thank you.

@jimreid67 Жыл бұрын
There’s a screw right behind the lower unit fill plug on the port side. It’s a factory flush out. You will need an adapter to hook your garden hose to it.

Much appreciated 🙏, I have a 40hp and I am due for a good maintenance. Question: Is there a certain number of hours that should be maintained if the boat is used often??
@shuswapoutdoors7 ай бұрын
There is a maintenance schedule in your manual. Most things are due for a change every 100 hours, but some are more.

Hi. Thank you for excellent tutorial as I am learning about maintenance for the first time. What about the tilt? Got my boat out on the water for first time without problems. Then, next time I went to take it out, the tilt didn’t work. I used metal brush to clean battery connections and checked on fluid and all seemed fine. Just trying to trouble shoot. The boat is an ‘84 Boston Whaler and not sure how old the Honda motor is, but I imagine its at least 10 years old. Any suggestions on tilt maintenance? Thanks.

Have you checked the fuses? Or the ground wire from the hydraulic motor on the tilt? I'd start there...

What kind of spark plugs? What kind of gear oil? What kind of engine oil? What kind of oil filter? What kind of fuel filter do you replace in the water separator? And where do you source all of these items?

Hello, my name is Luiz Sander, I'm from Santa Catarina, Brazil. I recently bought a 2006 Honda BF50 engine, the entire inspection was carried out outside my boat, it worked perfectly, I did the installation now on my boat where it will be used, after everything was ready I went to start it and it didn't give any signal, nothing, as if it was something electrical or something, but it has power because the trim works, the engine goes up and down, but it doesn't start. Can you help me? Could you give any advice? thanks!

Hi, first thanks for your videos, please could you let me know which propeller you are using on your Bf50. Has it worked? Did it make a difference? Thanks for your time.

It's a Honda 14p stainless. It is a big improvement over the aluminum one. Depending on the weight of your boat ,you could go up to a 15p

Thanks for your input. I have a 16ft Ali boat. I'll drop you a link to some film of her.
Did you change the diameter of the propeller or keep it the same? I'm at maximum revs with the standard propeller that came with the engine.
