Here’s some photos from our Outboard workparty from a few days ago.

This Honda bf30 outboard had a blown cylinder head so our team was able to tear the engine down to the engine block and rebuild with a new cylinder head and gaskets.

Everything went together well and we hope to test run the engine sometime today.

It’s impressive the amount of work that got done in only a few hours

This is why you should flush your outboard after running in salt water.

Hard to see but the pick is pointed to a hole that is not supposed to be there. A hole was created between a cooling passage & exhaust passageway in a cylinder head.

The combination of extreme heat and the corrosive action of salt water ate this hole over a 12-15 year period of heavy use.

Symptom: any reduction of water flow in your outboard’s signal (exhaust) stream. Any reduction in flow should be investigated, usually it’s a impeller problem but if no root cause is obvious- keep investigating further downstream.

Always do your homework and take your time - this could easily been missed and thrown back into service
