Re: FS14 Build - Pics, etc.
Performance is awesome. 20hp is perfect. Still mildly concerned about weight on transom (used transom saver when on trailer) . You saw I added 5/8" thick 4" deep (& width to each stringer) ply below clamping boards & I added alum plate inside to help distribute weight on bolts. I m...

Re: FS14 Build - Pics, etc.
Engine bolted on. Added extra 5/8 ply below clamping board & alum plate to spread load. Attached all cables except throttle/shift bc missing cable clip in engine. Ugh - another fault in buying used engine (was missing pivot ends too). Clip due in tomorrow. Launch Wed or Thurs. 20200821_144800~2....

Re: FS14 Build - Pics, etc.
When I built my GF14, I checked the specs of several engines 10-15hp, and as it happens, to my surprise most "long shafts" were 22" long instead of 20 : Honda, but also Yamaha and Tohatsu, if my memory is correct only Suzuki made real 20" shafts. Therefore I built my transom 22&...

Re: FS14 Build - Pics, etc.
This is weird but Honda outboards 20 HP or less have longer shafts. Check the specs of a 50 or a BF25, the standard shaft is 20", not 22. I know that's the case for some engines less than 10 HP but all other 15 and 20 I know are 20". Anyway, for the bolts question: the bolts must be in th...

Re: FS14 Build - Pics, etc.
Thanks for chiming in Jacques. (I did look at tutorial) Honda bf20d manual I have for my model (1600000 models) does say it's a 22.2 inch shaft for long shaft in installation section. Honda dealer (&boat maker) confirms the 22" & says different engines do vary & it's fine with this ...
