IMPORTANT SAFETY

INFORMATION

Operator Responsibility

OUTBOARD MOTOR SAFETY

It is the operator’s responsibility to

provide the necessary safeguards

to protect people and property.

Know how to stop the engine

quickly in case of emergency.

Understand the use of all controls.

Attach the emergency stop switch

lanyard securely to the operator.

Stop the engine immediately if

anyone falls overboard, and do not

run the engine while the boat is

near anyone in the water.

Always stop the engine if you

must leave the controls for any

reason.

Always wear a PFD (Personal

Flotation Device) while on the

boat.

Familiarize yourself with all laws

and regulations relating to boating

and the use of outboard motors.

Be sure that anyone who operates

the outboard motor receives proper

instruction.

Be sure the outboard motor is

properly mounted on the boat.

Do not remove the engine cover

while the engine is running.

Most injuries or property damage can

be prevented if you follow all

instructions in this manual and on the

outboard motor. The most common

hazards are discussed in this chapter,

along with the best way to protect

yourself and others.

Honda BF200A/BF225A outboard

motors are designed for use with

boats that have a suitable

manufacturer’s power

recommendation. Other uses can

result in injury to the operator or

damage to the outboard motor and

other property.

11/03/17 10:33:13 31ZY2630_008

Carbon Monoxide HazardRefuel With Care

OUTBOARD MOTOR SAFETY

Gasoline is extremely flammable,

and gasoline vapor can explode.

Refuel outdoors, in a well-

ventilated area, with the engine

stopped. Never smoke near

gasoline, and keep other flames

and sparks away.

Refuel carefully to avoid spilling

fuel. Avoid overfilling the fuel

tank.

After refueling, tighten the fuel

tank cap securely. If any fuel is

spilled, make sure the area is dry

before starting the engine.

Exhaust contains poisonous carbon

monoxide, a colorless, odorless gas.

Breathing carbon monoxide can

cause loss of consciousness and may

lead to death.

If you run the engine in an area that

is confined, or even partly enclosed,

the air you breathe could contain a

dangerous amount of exhaust gas.

Never run your outboard inside a

garage or other enclosure.

IMPORTANT SAFETY

INFORMATION

BEFORE OPERATION.

To safely realize the full potential of

this outboard motor, you need a

complete understanding of its

operation and a certain amount of

practice with its controls.

Before operating the outboard motor

for the first time, please review the

on page and the

chapter titled

Proper break-in operation allows the

moving parts to wear in smoothly for

best performance and long service

life. Avoid continuous operation at a

steady speed.

Run the engine up to a maximum of

4,000 to 5,000 rpm, which is about

50% to 80% of maximum throttle

opening. Operating at maximum

4,000 5,000 rpm should be limited

to 50% of the 60 minutes.

For your safety, do not start or run

the engine in a confined or partly

enclosed area. Your engine’s exhaust

contains poisonous carbon monoxide,

a colorless, odorless gas that can

collect rapidly. Breathing carbon

monoxide can cause loss of

consciousness and may lead to death.

30-second full-throttle bursts are OK,

but do not operate the engine

continuously at full throttle.

For boats that plane easily, bring the

boat up on plane, and then reduce the

throttle opening to the recommended

rpm range.

Do not run the engine at full throttle

for more than 5 minutes at a time.

Run the engine up to a maximum of

2,000 to 3,000 rpm, which is about

10% to 30% of maximum throttle

opening. Operating at maximum

2,000 3,000 rpm should be limited

to 50% of the 45 minutes.

Run the engine at trolling speed. Use

the minimum throttle opening

necessary to operate the boat at a safe

trolling speed.

11/03/17 10:38:43 31ZY2630_040

Gasoline is highly

flammable and explosive.

You can be burned or

seriously injured when

handling fuel.

Stop the engine and keep

heat, sparks, and flame

away.

changes in boat load, weight

distribution, water conditions, or

propeller selection.

The engine is equipped with a rev

limiter to prevent the possibility of

mechanical damage from excessive

engine speed.

If, for example, the outboard motor

is tilted excessively or propeller

ventilation occurs during a sharp turn,

the engine may overrev, activating

the rev limiter.

If engine speed becomes unstable at

high speed due to activation of the

rev limiter, reduce speed and check

the trim angle of the outboard motor.

Excessive trim/tilt angle during

operation can cause propeller

ventilation, overheating, and water

pump damage.

Under normal conditions, the boat

will perform best when the

antiventilation plate is level with the

water surface.

When cruising into a high wind, trim

the outboard motor down slightly to

level the boat and improve stability.

With a tail wind, trim the outboard

motor up slightly.

When operating in shallow water, use

the power trim/tilt switch (p.

) to tilt the outboard motor so that

the propeller and gear case won’t hit

the bottom.

Proceed at low speed, and monitor

water flow from the cooling system

indicator (p. ) to be sure the

outboard motor is not tilted so high

that the water intakes are out of the

water.

Distributor’s

Limited Warranty

If steering effort is not equal in both

directions, adjust the trim tab to

compensate for ‘‘torque steer,’’

which is the reaction of the outboard

motor to propeller rotation.

Adjust the trim tab with the engine

stopped. Loosen the bolt above the

trim tab, turn the trim tab, and then

tighten the bolt securely.

When the trim tab is correctly

adjusted, steering effort will be equal

in both directions.

MANUAL RELIEF VALVE

Do not attempt to use the power tilt

switch to tilt the outboard motor

down while the tilt lock lever is in the

LOCK position. Damage to the

power tilt system may occur.

The outboard motor can also be tilted

manually after opening the manual

relief valve. This feature enables the

outboard motor to be tilted up or

down when no battery is connected.

For manual tilting, use a screwdriver

to turn the valve counterclockwise 1

or 2 turns. Close the valve firmly

after positioning the engine.

Be sure the valve is closed before

operating the outboard motor. If the

valve is not closed, the outboard

motor will tilt up when operated in

reverse.

Check that nobody is under the

outboard motor before opening the

manual relief valve. If the manual

relief valve is loosened (turned

counterclockwise) when the outboard

motor is tilted up, the outboard motor

will suddenly tilt down.

FUEL RECOMMENDATIONS

SERVICING YOUR OUTBOARD MOTOR

Use unleaded gasoline with a pump

octane rating of 86 or higher.

Your outboard motor is certified to

operate on unleaded gasoline.

Unleaded gasoline produces fewer

engine and spark plug deposits and

extends exhaust system life.

Engine damage or performance

problems that result from using a fuel

with percentages of ethanol or

methanol greater than shown above

are not covered under warranty.

Use of fuels with content of ethanol

or methanol greater than shown

above may cause starting and/or

performance problems. It may also

damage metal, rubber, and plastic

parts of the fuel system.

Never use stale or contaminated

gasoline or an oil/gasoline mixture.

Avoid getting dirt or water in the fuel

tank.

You may use unleaded gasoline

containing no more than 10% ethanol

(E10) or 5% methanol by volume. In

addition, methanol must contain

cosolvents and corrosion inhibitors.

your specific propeller manufacturer’s

instructions for proper installation.

Then, using a torque wrench,

tighten the castle nut until the first

available groove in the castle nut

aligns with the cotter pin hole. Do

not tighten past the first alignment

of the castle nut groove and the

cotter pin hole.

Be sure to replace the cotter pin

with a new one.

Use a Honda Genuine stainless

Fuel

STORAGE

Adding a Fuel Stabilizer

Depending on the region where you

operate your outboard, f uel

f ormulations may deteriorate and

oxidize rapidly. Fuel deterioration

and oxidation can occur in as little

as 15 days and may cause damage to

the f uel system. Please check with

your servicing dealer f or local

storage recommendations.

Distributor’s Limited Warranty

Drain the vapor separator before

adding fuel stabilizer.

When adding a fuel stabilizer, fill the

fuel tank with fresh gasoline. If only

partially filled, air in the tank will

promote fuel deterioration during

storage. If you keep an additional

container of gasoline for refueling,

be sure that it contains only fresh

gasoline.

Gasoline will oxidize and deteriorate

in storage. Old gasoline will cause

hard starting, and it leaves gum

deposits that clog the fuel system. If

the gasoline in your fuel tank and

vapor separator deteriorates during

storage, you may need to have the

vapor separator and other fuel system

components serviced or replaced.

The length of time that gasoline can

be left in your fuel tank and vapor

separator without causing functional

problems will vary with such factors

as gasoline blend, your storage

temperatures, and whether the fuel

tank is partially or completely filled.

The air in a partially filled fuel tank

promotes fuel deterioration. Very

warm storage temperatures accelerate

fuel deterioration. Fuel deterioration

problems may occur in less than 15

days, if the gasoline was not fresh

when you filled the fuel tank.

You can extend fuel storage life by

adding a gasoline stabilizer that is

formulated for that purpose, or you

can avoid fuel deterioration problems

by draining all the fuel from the fuel

tank and vapor separator.

The

(p. ) does not cover fuel system

problems resulting from neglected

Emission Control System

Information

TECHNICAL INFORMATION

Ignition Timing Control System

Source of Emissions

PGM-FI System

The U.S., Calif ornia Clean Air

Acts, and Environment Canada

EPA, California, and Canadian

regulations require all manufacturers

to furnish written instructions

describing the operation and

maintenance of emission control

systems.

The system constantly adjusts the

ignition timing, reducing the amount

of HC, CO, and NOx produced.

The combustion process produces

carbon monoxide, oxides of nitrogen,

and hydrocarbons. Control of

hydrocarbons and oxides of nitrogen

is very important because, under

certain conditions, they react to form

photochemical smog when subjected

to sunlight. Carbon monoxide does

not react in the same way, but it is

toxic.

Honda utilizes appropriate air/fuel

ratios and other emissions control

systems to reduce the emissions of

carbon monoxide, oxides of nitrogen,

and hydrocarbons.

The PGM-FI system uses sequential

multiport fuel injection. It has three

subsystems: Air Intake, Engine

Control, and Fuel Control. The

Engine Control Module (ECM) uses

various sensors to determine how

much air is going into the engine. It

then controls how much fuel to inject

under all operating conditions.

The following instructions and

procedures must be followed in order

to keep the emissions from your

Emissions

Tampering and Altering

Tampering is a violation of Federal

and Calif ornia law.

A manufacturer of an aftermarket

part assumes the responsibility that

the part will not adversely affect

emission performance. The

manufacturer or rebuilder of the part

must certify that use of the part will

not result in a failure of the engine to

comply with emission regulations.

The emission control systems on

your Honda engine were designed,

built, and certified to conform with

EPA and California emission

regulations. We recommend the use

of Honda Genuine parts whenever

you have maintenance done. These

original-design replacement parts are

manufactured to the same standards

as the original parts, so you can be

confident of their performance. The

use of replacement parts that are not

of the original design and quality

may impair the effectiveness of your

emission control system.

If you are aware of any of the

following symptoms, have your

engine inspected and repaired by

your servicing dealer.

Hard starting or stalling after

starting.

Rough idle.

Misfiring or backfiring under load.

Afterburning (backfiring).

Black exhaust smoke or high fuel

consumption.

Alterations that would cause the

engine to operate outside its design

parameters.

Removal or alteration of any part

of the intake, fuel, or exhaust

systems.

Tampering with or altering the

emission control system may increase

emissions beyond the legal limit.

Among those acts that constitute

tampering are:

Maintenance

Follow the maintenance schedule on

schedule is based on the assumption

that your machine will be used for its

designed purpose. Sustained high-

load operation, or use in unusual

conditions, will require more

frequent service.

MANUFACTURER’S EMISSION CONTROL

SYSTEM WARRANTY COVERAGE:

All States

CONSUMER INFORMATION

Your new Honda outboard engine complies with both the

U.S. EPA and State of California emission regulations.

American Honda provides the same emission warranty

coverage for outboard engines sold in all 50 states.

The California Air Resources Board and American

Honda Motor Co., Inc. are pleased to explain the

emission control system warranty on your 2001 and later

Honda outboard engine. In California, new outboard

engines must be designed, built, and equipped to meet

California’s stringent anti-smog emission standards in

addition to the U.S. EPA emissions standards.

In all areas of the United States your outboard engine

must be designed, built, and equipped to meet the U.S.

EPA Emission Standard for spark ignited marine engines.

American Honda Motor Co., Inc. must warranty the

emission control system on your outboard engine for the

period of time listed below provided there has been no

abuse, neglect, or improper maintenance of your

outboard engine. Where a warranty condition exists,

American Honda Motor Co., Inc. will repair your

outboard engine at no cost to you including diagnosis,

parts and labor.

Your emission control system may include such parts as

the carburetor or fuel injection system and catalytic

converter. Also included may be hoses, connectors and

other emission-related assemblies.

Your 2010 and later outboard engine is warranted for a

minimum of five years or 250 hours of operation,

whichever comes first, or the length of Honda Marine

Distributor’s Limited warranty, whichever is longer.

However, warranty coverage based on the hourly period

is only permitted for outboard engines equipped with

appropriate hour meters. If any emission-related part on

your outboard engine is defective under warranty, the

part will be repaired or replaced by American Honda

Contacting Honda

As the outboard engine owner, you are responsible for

the performance of the required maintenance listed in

your owner’s manual. American Honda Motor Co., Inc.

recommends that you retain all receipts covering

maintenance on your outboard engine, but American

the lack of receipts or for your failure to ensure the

performance of all scheduled maintenance.

As the outboard engine owner, you should, however, be

aware that American Honda Motor Co., Inc. may deny

you warranty coverage if your outboard engine or a part

has failed due to abuse, neglect, improper maintenance,

or unapproved modifications.

You are responsible for presenting your outboard engine

to a Honda Marine dealer as soon as a problem exists.

The warranty repair should be completed in a reasonable

amount of time, not to exceed 30 days.

Office. Please see page 113 .

Honda outboard engines certified to the CARB and EPA

2010 regulations are covered by this warranty for a

minimum of five years or 250 hours of operation,

whichever comes first, or the length of the Honda Marine

Distributor’s Limited warranty, whichever is longer from

the date of delivery to the retail purchaser. This warranty

is transferred to each subsequent purchaser for the

duration of the warranty period.

Warranty repairs will be made without charge for

diagnosis, parts and labor. All defective parts replaced

under this warranty become the property of American

damages to other engine components caused by a failure

of any warranted part during the warranty period.

Only Honda approved replacement parts will be used in

the performance of any warranty repairs and they will be

provided without charge to the owner. The use of

replacement parts not equivalent to the original parts may

impair the effectiveness of your engine’s emission

control system. If such a replacement part is used in the

repair or maintenance of your engine, and an authorized
