OTHER FEATURES Overrev Limiter The engine is equipped with an overrev limiter to prevent the possibility of mechanical damage from excessive engine speed. The overrev limiter may be activated during operation, limiting engine speed, if the outboard motor is tilted excessively, or when propeller ventilation occurs during a sharp turn. If the overrev limiter is activated, check the tilt angle of the outboard motor. Automatic Choke (models equipped with electric starter) The engine is equipped with an automatic choke so that the choke system operation is not needed when starting the engine. Anodes ANODE (G and T types only) ANODES (each side) The anodes are made of a sacrificial material that helps to protect the outboard motor from corrosion. There are two anodes on the gear case, one on the stern bracket. CONTROLS AND FEATURES Portable Fuel Tank The portable fuel tank has a capacity of 3.2 US gal (12 ) and has a fuel gauge built into the cap. Fuel Cap Vent Knob VENT KNOB OPPEN CLOSE The cap is provided with a vent knob to seal the portable fuel tank for carrying it to and from the boat. Open the vent knob 2 or 3 turns before starting the engine (p. 43 ). Fuel Priming Bulb INLET END (TANK) OUTLET END (MOTOR) PRIMING BULB A priming bulb is built into the fuel hose that connects the fuel tank to the outboard motor. Before starting the engine, squeeze the priming bulb until it feels firm. This will ensure that fuel is supplied to the engine (p. 44 ). Correct and secure installation is essential for safe boating and good performance. Follow the installation instructions provided in this manual. Correct and secure installation is essential for safe boating and good performance. Follow the installation instructions provided in this manual. Before installation, check to be sure that the outboard motor does not exceed the recommended maximum horsepower for the boat on which it is to be installed. Refer to the boat’s certification plate for recommended maximum horsepower. If the certification plate information is not available, contact the boat dealer or manufacturer. For most applications, the outboard motor should have a horsepower rating which provides 80% of the maximum recommended horsepower for the boat. BOAT TRANSOM REQUIREMENTS Honda BF8D/BFP8D/BF9.9D/ BFP9.9D/BF15D/BFP15D/BF20D and BFP20D outboard motors can be installed on a boat transom having a thickness range of 1.3 -2.2 inches (35 -57 mm). INSTALLATION POSITION CENTER LINE Install the outboard motor on the center of the boat transom. INSTALLATION The antiventilation plate of the outboard motor should be 0 -2.0 inches below the bottom of the boat. - - 0 2.0 in (0 TRANSOM HEIIGHT IDLE PORT 50 mm) Type: Transom Height S: 17.0 in (433 mm) L: 22.2 in (563 mm) X: 27.7 in (703 mm) When the outboard motor is installed extremely low, the idle port may be immersed and the engine may become hard to start or may run poorly. Check that the idle port is high enough from the water level when the engine is stopped with the boat fully loaded. INSTALLATION If the outboard motor is installed too low, the boat will squat and be hard to plane, it will tend to porpoise, and high-speed stability will be reduced. If the outboard motor is installed too high, that will cause ventilation. Optimum installation height varies with boat type and bottom shape. Contact the boat manufacturer for any special recommendations that are unique to a specific model of boat. If the transom needs to be modified to accommodate the outboard motor, contact the boat manufacturer and follow their recommendations for corrective action. ATTACHMENT (models with clamp screws) CLAMP SCREW ROPE WASHER LOCK NUT BOLT WASHER TRANSOM BOARD MOUNTING HOLE Attach the stern bracket to the boat transom by tightening the clamp screws. Attach a rope from the boat to the hole in the stern bracket. This will help to prevent accidental loss of the outboard motor. You may further secure the outboard motor by bolting the stern bracket to the boat transom. Use the optional mounting bolt and nut kit or other good quality stainless steel bolts, nuts, and washers. Apply silicone sealant to the bolt holes. INSTALLATION (models without clamp screws) TRANSOM ANGLE ADJUSTMENT LOCK NUT WASHER BOLT LOCK NUT TRANSOM BOARD WASHER MOUNTING HOLE WASHER Use the transom angle adjustment rod (p. 41) to adjust the angle of the outboard motor so the propeller is perpendicular to the surface of the water. Attach the stern bracket to the boat transom with good quality stainless steel bolts, nuts, and washers. Apply silicone sealant to the bolt holes. BATTERY CONNECTIONS -TO ACCESSORIES BATTERY Honda BF8D/BFP8D/BF9.9D/ BFP9.9D/BF15D/BFP15D/BF20D and BFP20D outboard motors produce a 12-volt, 6 or 12-ampere battery-charging current and are equipped for connection to a 12-volt battery. The battery-charging circuit is protected by a 20-ampere fuse located in the engine compartment. The outboard motor’s 12-volt output is intended for battery chargin...
