HONDA 10
HONDA 10
I presently have the original Yamaha 10 manual start, supplied as original equipment. Quornings now fit an electric start Honda 10, but I believe that the existing wooden pad on my 1998 boat might need modyfying to do this. Anybody know what the difference might be?
Also, has anyone fitted a power tilt version of the Honda 10 to their 920? Difficult to get hold of in Europe, but the dealers in the USA list them. The F boat website suggests that the mounting bracket size can sometimes be a problem. Anybody know?

My observation is that teh Honda 10 has a longer mounting bracket and the Df-920 mounting pad must be extended down past the hull-deck joint. That would require a fiberglass expert to do it properly, but it can be done.
I don't think it would be worth it to change to the Honda. You can still buy the Yamaha T9.9 HP in the US. http://www.yamaha-motor.com/outboard/pr ... specs.aspx
You can also buy a bolt-on electric tilt for any engine, from a maker called CMC. http://www.overtons.com/modperl/product ... 21204&aID=

Honda 10 propeller
What propeller do you have, mine was fitted with a standard 4 blade aluminium 9 1/4 * 8. A fast calculation, 5500 rpm, 10% slip gives 14.4 knots. The result has been that my engine never gets more that 3000 rps and a lot of cavitation on the propeller. I had a hard time to get out of Helsinki in 12-14 m/s and waves - only 2 - 2,5 knots!!
I have now ordered a power thrust model from Honda catalogue 10*6 1/4 and with cupped blades.
Anyone with more experience??

Re: Honda 10 propeller
Can you give me the outcome of your new prop, is it the right one as I have the same problem, I have no idea why people put engines on a boat with the wrong prop on it, but there you go, its lifeDraken wrote:What propeller do you have, mine was fitted with a standard 4 blade aluminium 9 1/4 * 8.
