Honda Marine BF225 Vapor Separator

Routine maintenance turns into an expensive debacle. Rusted bolts on a Honda Marine BF225A make replacing the high pressure fuel filter, on my Honda Marine 225 engine a ridiculously expensive job.

This took place after 30 days, It was serviced by the Honda dealer. What is it you think I should have done? Can you cite the page number of the owners manual? You have no clue. Honda makes poor produces and does not support the customer.  Get your fact straight.

All comes down to maintenance. This will happen to all marine engines if not maintained properly. None of the Honda outboards I look after suffer from these problems unless the tightass owners neglect to maintain them. This guy got what he deserves, then he has the nerve to condemn Honda for his neglect. Cock!!

In fact the problem with this Honda happen with-in 30 days of the motor being rigged.

Stalling from (salt) water entering the motor is a know problem. You should get your facts straight before you post.

Now of course, we know what you are!!

I have a BF 130 Honda runs great never misses a beat BUT the same cheap ass parts are showing signs of rust. I spray them with WD spray but it is not going to stop the problem.

Stupid of honda to tarnish their name over what you would think would be $50 max in SS parts.??

Right they saved a few dollars up front. After seeing my Honda rusting out a fishing friend is going to repower with an other brand. Honda just lost a twin motor sale. I tell everyone I can about this, Do Not Buy Honda.

We run Honda BF225 and Twin BF90 on our three commercial ribs. We roll over every three years with thousands of hours on the clock. we have never had a problem -EVER- and Honda have been nothing but helpful even supplying ECU upgrades to a perfectly running engine! To date we have had 9 engines without a problem.

We service them as per the maintainance schedule (We change the fuel pre filter every 50 hours)

I find some of these posts absolutely hilarious. Honda is the largest engine manufacturer IN THE WORLD. You're telling me they designed a product with parts that will rust under normal operating conditions? No... if they're rusting that means water is not supposed to be in there. If water is getting in there, that means it was installed incorrectly, the case was incorrectly seated, or the owner has neglected it. Blame yourself of your under-paid installer for this problem pal.

i have the Honda BF 225 for about 3 years and it still looks like new i have never any problems with it

These screws are typical steel highly anodized screws found in Japanese cars for decades. They dont get get rusty under normal automotive applications even after many years. But the sea corrosive enviroment demands special inox screws just as the USA manufacturers use to all their relevant products. Unfortunately the condition you describe is due to cheap Japanese solutions rather than a product misuse according to my humble opinion. Too bad for a Honda motor which should stand for quality .

I work for honda your caling was not closed properly or not riged properly(6to8inchs), also the water injestion is covered by honda service bulletin #56.but your a know it all honda basher. next time buy a jet ski

I am well aware of the height specifications for V6 installation. The problems associated are water entry into the lower cylinders and contamination of the oxy sensor, NOT external corrosion. The engine may have been installed incorrectly, or the operator may not have noticed the motor submarine diving in the ocean, But this is an installer issue, not a design floor.The whole point is, dont blame the engine manufacturer for such an obvious screw up by either the Installer, the operator or both!!
