IMPORTANT SAFETYINFORMATION

Operator Responsibility

OUTBOARD MOTOR SAFETY

It is the operator’s responsibility toprovide the necessary safeguardsto protect people and property.Know how to stop the enginequickly in case of emergency.Understand the use of all controls.

Attach the emergency stop switchlanyard securely to the operator.

Stop the engine immediately ifanyone falls overboard, and do notrun the engine while the boat isnear anyone in the water.

Always stop the engine if youmust leave the controls for anyreason.

Always wear a PFD (PersonalFlotation Device) while on theboat.

Familiarize yourself with all lawsand regulations relating to boatingand the use of outboard motors.

Be sure that anyone who operatesthe outboard motor receives properinstruction.

Be sure the outboard motor isproperly mounted on the boat.

Do not remove the engine coverwhile the engine is running.

Most injuries or property damage canbe prevented if you follow allinstructions in this manual and on theoutboard motor. The most commonhazards are discussed in this chapter,along with the best way to protectyourself and others.

Honda BF200A/BF225A outboardmotors are designed for use withboats that have a suitablemanufacturer’s powerrecommendation. Other uses canresult in injury to the operator ordamage to the outboard motor andother property.

Carbon Monoxide HazardRefuel With Care


Gasoline is extremely flammable,and gasoline vapor can explode.Refuel outdoors, in a well-ventilated area, with the enginestopped. Never smoke neargasoline, and keep other flamesand sparks away.

Refuel carefully to avoid spillingfuel. Avoid overfilling the fueltank.

After refueling, tighten the fueltank cap securely. If any fuel isspilled, make sure the area is drybefore starting the engine.

Exhaust contains poisonous carbonmonoxide, a colorless, odorless gas.Breathing carbon monoxide cancause loss of consciousness and maylead to death.

If you run the engine in an area thatis confined, or even partly enclosed,the air you breathe could contain adangerous amount of exhaust gas.

Never run your outboard inside agarage or other enclosure.

This switch is used with the enginestopped to raise the outboard motorfor mooring, trailering, ormaintenance.

The power tilt switch will operatewithout turning the ignition switchON.

The power tilt switch is located onthe engine pan. It is a rocker switchwith UP and DN (down) positionsfor changing the angle of theoutboard motor.

The outboard motor can be tiltedmanually after opening the manualrelief valve. This allows the outboardmotor to be tilted up or down whenno battery is connected. When the boat is to be moored for a

long time, tilt the outboard motor upas far as it will go. Then move the tiltlock lever to the LOCK position, andgently lower the outboard motor untilthe lever contacts the stern bracket.

The tilt lock lever is used to supportthe outboard motor in the fully-raisedposition.

Water should flow from the coolingsystem indicator while the engine isrunning. This shows that water iscirculating through the coolingsystem.

If water stops flowing while theengine is running, it indicates acooling system problem, such asclogged water intakes, which willcause engine overheating.

The water separator buzzer sounds arapid, repeating signal when waterhas accumulated in the waterseparator.

When the alert triggers, the overheatindicator comes on and the buzzersounds a steady tone as the enginespeed is reduced to 1,800 rpm. If thecondition persists for another 20seconds, the engine shuts off. Referto

, onp. .

All models are equipped with abuzzer that sounds continuouslywhen the red light comes on.

Engine overheating may be the resultof clogged water intakes.

The anodes are made of a sacrificialmaterial that helps to protect theoutboard motor from corrosion.

Before starting the engine, hold thepriming bulb up in the direction ofthe arrow; then squeeze the primingbulb until it feels firm. This willensure that fuel is supplied to theengine (p. ).

A priming bulb is built into the fuelhose that connects the fuel tank to theoutboard motor.

There are two anodes on the gearcase, one on the stern bracket andfour small anodes in the waterpassages of the engine block.

The engine is equipped with a revlimiter to prevent the possibility ofmechanical damage from excessiveengine speed.

The rev limiter may be activatedduring operation, limiting enginespeed, if the outboard motor istrimmed or tilted up excessively, orwhen propeller ventilation occursduring a sharp turn.

If the rev limiter is activated, checkthe trim angle of the outboard motor.

Check to see if the correct propelleris installed.

IMPORTANT SAFETYINFORMATION

BEFORE OPERATION.

To safely realize the full potential ofthis outboard motor, you need acomplete understanding of itsoperation and a certain amount ofpractice with its controls.

Before operating the outboard motorfor the first time, please review the

on page and thechapter titled

Proper break-in operation allows themoving parts to wear in smoothly forbest performance and long servicelife. Avoid continuous operation at asteady speed.

Run the engine up to a maximum of4,000 to 5,000 rpm, which is about50% to 80% of maximum throttleopening. Operating at maximum4,000 5,000 rpm should be limitedto 50% of the 60 minutes.

For your safety, do not start or runthe engine in a confined or partlyenclosed area. Your engine’s exhaustcontains poisonous carbon monoxide,a colorless, odorless gas that cancollect rapidly. Breathing carbonmonoxide can cause loss ofconsciousness and may lead to death.

30-second full-throttle bursts are OK,but do not operate the enginecontinuously at full throttle.

For boats that plane easily, bring theboat up on plane, and then reduce thethrottle opening to the recommendedrpm range.

Do not run the engine at full throttlefor more than 5 minutes at a time.

Run the engine up to a maximum of2,000 to 3,000 rpm, which is about10% to 30% of maximum throttleopening. Operating at maximum2,000 3,000 rpm should be limitedto 50% of the 45 minutes.

Run the engine at trolling speed. Usethe minimum throttle openingnecessary to operate the boat at a safetrolling speed.

OPERATION

For rough water conditions or largewaves, slow down to prevent thepropeller from rising out of the water.

Steer the boat in the same manner asan automobile.

For best fuel economy, limit thethrottle opening to 80%. Use thethrottle friction control (p. ) tohelp you hold a steady speed.

Use the power trim/tilt switch to trimthe outboard motor for the bestperformance and stability.

You can use the power trim/tiltswitch at any time, whether the boatis underway or stopped.

Press the UP or DN (down) side ofthe switch to adjust the angle of theoutboard motor.

Refer to the trim meter (p. ) for anindication of whether the outboardmotor is trimmed high or low.

It is necessary to trim the angle of theoutboard motor to compensate forchanges in boat load, weightdistribution, water conditions, orpropeller selection.

The engine is equipped with a revlimiter to prevent the possibility ofmechanical damage from excessiveengine speed.

If, for example, the outboard motoris tilted excessively or propellerventilation occurs during a sharp turn,the engine may overrev, activatingthe rev limiter.If engine speed becomes unstable athigh speed due to activation of therev limiter, reduce speed and checkthe trim angle of the outboard motor.

FUEL RECOMMENDATIONS


Use unleaded gasoline with a pumpoctane rating of 86 or higher.

Your outboard motor is certified tooperate on unleaded gasoline.Unleaded gasoline produces fewerengine and spark plug deposits andextends exhaust system life.

Engine damage or performanceproblems that result from using a fuelwith percentages of ethanol ormethanol greater than shown aboveare not covered under warranty.

Use of fuels with content of ethanolor methanol greater than shownabove may cause starting and/orperformance problems. It may alsodamage metal, rubber, and plasticparts of the fuel system.

Never use stale or contaminatedgasoline or an oil/gasoline mixture.Avoid getting dirt or water in the fueltank.

You may use unleaded gasolinecontaining no more than 10% ethanol(E10) or 5% methanol by volume. Inaddition, methanol must containcosolvents and corrosion inhibitors.

If your outboard motor will be usedon an infrequent or intermittent basis,please refer to the fuel section of theSTORAGE chapter (p. ) foradditional information regarding fueldeterioration.

STORAGE

Adding a Fuel Stabilizer

Depending on the region where youoperate your outboard, f uelf ormulations may deteriorate andoxidize rapidly. Fuel deteriorationand oxidation can occur in as littleas 15 days and may cause damage tothe f uel system. Please check withyour servicing dealer f or localstorage recommendations.


Drain the vapor separator beforeadding fuel stabilizer.

When adding a fuel stabilizer, fill thefuel tank with fresh gasoline. If onlypartially filled, air in the tank willpromote fuel deterioration duringstorage. If you keep an additionalcontainer of gasoline for refueling,be sure that it contains only freshgasoline.

Gasoline will oxidize and deterioratein storage. Old gasoline will causehard starting, and it leaves gumdeposits that clog the fuel system. Ifthe gasoline in your fuel tank andvapor separator deteriorates duringstorage, you may need to have thevapor separator and other fuel systemcomponents serviced or replaced.

The length of time that gasoline canbe left in your fuel tank and vaporseparator without causing functionalproblems will vary with such factorsas gasoline blend, your storage

temperatures, and whether the fueltank is partially or completely filled.The air in a partially filled fuel tankpromotes fuel deterioration. Verywarm storage temperatures acceleratefuel deterioration. Fuel deteriorationproblems may occur in less than 15days, if the gasoline was not freshwhen you filled the fuel tank.

You can extend fuel storage life byadding a gasoline stabilizer that isformulated for that purpose, or youcan avoid fuel deterioration problemsby draining all the fuel from the fueltank and vapor separator.

The(p. ) does not cover fuel systemdamage or engine performanceproblems resulting from neglectedstorage preparation.

Emission Control SystemInformation


Ignition Timing Control System

Source of Emissions

PGM-FI System

The U.S., Calif ornia Clean AirActs, and Environment Canada

EPA, California, and Canadianregulations require all manufacturersto furnish written instructionsdescribing the operation andmaintenance of emission controlsystems.

The system constantly adjusts theignition timing, reducing the amountof HC, CO, and NOx produced.

The combustion process producescarbon monoxide, oxides of nitrogen,and hydrocarbons. Control ofhydrocarbons and oxides of nitrogenis very important because, undercertain conditions, they react to formphotochemical smog when subjectedto sunlight. Carbon monoxide doesnot react in the same way, but it istoxic.

Honda utilizes appropriate air/fuelratios and other emissions controlsystems to reduce the emissions ofcarbon monoxide, oxides of nitrogen,and hydrocarbons.

The PGM-FI system uses sequentialmultiport fuel injection. It has threesubsystems: Air Intake, EngineControl, and Fuel Control. TheEngine Control Module (ECM) usesvarious sensors to determine howmuch air is going into the engine. Itthen controls how much fuel to injectunder all operating conditions.

The following instructions andprocedures must be followed in orderto keep the emissions from yourHonda engine within the emissionstandards.

Replacement PartsProblems That May Af f ectEmissions

Tampering and Altering

Tampering is a violation of Federaland Calif ornia law.

A manufacturer of an aftermarketpart assumes the responsibility thatthe part will not adversely affectemission performance. Themanufacturer or rebuilder of the partmust certify that use of the part willnot result in a failure of the engine tocomply with emission regulations.

The emission control systems onyour Honda engine were designed,built, and certified to conform withEPA and California emissionregulations. We recommend the useof Honda Genuine parts wheneveryou have maintenance done. Theseoriginal-design replacement parts aremanufactured to the same standardsas the original parts, so you can beconfident of their performance. Theuse of replacement parts that are notof the original design and qualitymay impair the effectiveness of youremission control system.

If you are aware of any of thefollowing symptoms, have yourengine inspected and repaired byyour servicing dealer.

Hard starting or stalling afterstarting.

Rough idle.

Misfiring or backfiring under load.

Afterburning (backfiring).

Black exhaust smoke or high fuelconsumption.

Alterations that would cause theengine to operate outside its designparameters.

Removal or alteration of any partof the intake, fuel, or exhaustsystems.

Tampering with or altering theemission control system may increaseemissions beyond the legal limit.Among those acts that constitutetampering are:
