    Hey boat guy, I was told on The Hondas when using muffs to put a piece of tape over the inlet just above the propeller, Near the trim tab. It pumps out a lot better when you do that and keeps it from overheating. This comes right from a Honda dealer. I have the adapter for a hose that screws into the side, but I found the muffs to be a lot easier. Take care buddy, I watch a Channel all the time

      Haven't seen any in bad shape. Come to Poland. You will buy an almost new outboard Honda 25HP at a Honda dealer and when back home it will explode because it is worn out to nothing.
      No refunds: "Fcuk off! You saw what you are buying!" - that's how it would look like in the court. Case closed.
      What's the deal with cleaning? He uses Karcher to clean it and some spray paint. Maybe should start rebuilding V6 Yamaha engines?

    Suggestion! Build a semi-permanent weight box for the front of the craftsman if you are going to be using it as a boat tug. Make sure you can still open hood. I have barbell weights (150 lb.) on a removable bar hanging about 12 in. in front of front axel. I damn near flipped mine towing a 19ft boat, mow I can tow my partially loaded dump trailer with ease.
