Biocide-free silicone antifouling paint tops European study
Chalmers-led research found biocide-free silicone antifouling paint performed best against hull fouling in Swedish, Danish and French coastal waters.
Honda have re-engineered their BF40, BF50, BF80 and BF100 marine outboards, making them more efficient, durable and easy to maintain. They all benefit from Honda’s six-year domestic and two-year commercial warranty, and customers will be offered a free RYA Level 2 powerboat training course.
With an upgraded ECU, these new outboards have the latest in electronic fuel injection technology, meaning that fuel is delivered to the engine in an efficient and precisely measured manner, and that the engine will run more smoothly at peak performance while also burning less fuel.
To combat corrosion and extend the life and reliability of the outboard, the water jacket and anode metal cover have been coated with alumite treatment, while all the bolts in the engine have been treated with Honda’s own improved corrosion coating material.
In addition, the new BF40 and BF50 now benefit from a new freshwater water flushing hose to ensure engine preservation between major scheduled flushing and maintenance periods.
