Something on my Christmas list is an Engine Starter/Battery Charger. I plan to use it for a number of things including putting it in the console of my 19 foot Boston Whaler (w/4 stroke motor) when I go boating. <br /><br />Is this a good alternative to having dual batteries? I only run a VHF...
According to an article I read in a boating magazine, the only difference between the BF150 and the BF135 is that the BF135 doesnt have the ground wire hooked up to the VTEC spool valve and the ECU mapping to control the variable valve timing.<br /><br />Would it be possible to hook up the...
Has anyone bought one of these or seen them on a boat? West Marine and Cabellas has them for around $1200. They are stainless steel and fairly inexpensive. My only concern is that they may not be built to take on the pounding that the ocean dishes out here in Hawaii. <br /><br...
How common is this? <br /><br />My 15.25 X 17 Powertech OFS stainless prop produces the following numbers on a 19 foot Boston Whaler Nantucket with a Honda BF135 motor mounted 2 holes up:<br /><br />RPM SPEED SLIP %<br />4000 31 mph -3<br />5000 38 mph...
I'm in the market for a new boat and the Boston Whaler dealer here said he would swap out the Mercury Optimax 135 for a leftover 2004 BF135 on the boat I'm looking to buy. I will have to pay an extra $2000 for this motor swap and have a week to decide. I've owned Honda outboards before and have...

According to my manual, my Honda 90 produces 16 amps. I assume this is at high RPM. My question is: does anyone know approx. what kind of output I get at trolling speed (2000-3000 RPM)
