AVAILABLE ACCESSORIES
Consult the Honda Marine Accessories Catalog (M0045) for current information on gauges, instrument
harnesses, wiring harnesses, switch panels, and control boxes.
FUEL HOSE CONNECTION
Do not use unlined, worm-type fuel hose clamps
because they will shred the outside of the fuel hose.
During operation, check for any fuel or air leaks and
repair immediately. If these connections suck air,
the engine fuel pump will malfunction.
The primer bulb must be positioned
so the outlet
end is higher or can be positioned higher than the
inlet end. The arrow on the primer bulb must point
upward toward the engine.
ENGINE SIDE
ARROW
If you are unable to properly crimp the band type
clamp provided, use a good quality stainless steel
lined fuel hose clamp.
Refer to the
Honda Marine Carburetion Manual
(TM044) for additional information on fuel hose
clamps.
BOAT SIDE
The fuel hose is 7.5 mm (5/16 in) and the male hose
barb is stepped to 12 mm (0.4725 in). The priming
bulb hose barbs are 7.5 mm (5/16 in). Make sure
the fuel hose is not pinched or crushed as it routes
to the boat fuel supply. This could cause an engine
malfunction.
A water separator is recommended between the
boat fuel tank and the motor. Remove the hose
barb from the fuel hose end and connect the fuel
hose directly to the water separator outlet 7.5 mm
(5/16 in) brass hose barb (not included) and clamp
securely.
If the outboard motor fuel hose
is going to be
connected directly into the boat fuel tank supply
hose, secure using a fuel hose clamp type as listed
above. Secure the hose joint
so it does not pound
on the boat under deck and become damaged.
