Honda outboard, I broke the case

[Ballistix]

Idiot. Moved a bit of wood the outboard was leaning against and it tumble, fell on it's case and smashed the think breaking the handle off the back and the kill switch with it. Does anyone know if this is a difficult process to replace it and where I might get the replacement part from? It's their little air cooled 2.4 four stroke.

Regards,

Depending upon the age of the outboard it is cheaper to buy a new one. The kill switch alone is over £40.

Keep posting on here, i know a few forum peeps have seized theirs so they might have spares available.

I have one of those for sale complete!!! 18 months old and only about 5 or six hours.

This would be best posted on PBO, DIY skills are abundant.

You could look to bypass the kill switch, grind the broken handle smooth and stainless steel screw a webbing strap for a carry handle.

Cost- £1
time taken -1 hour
benefits - less to go wrong and lighter
disadvantages-no good for kids under 12 to play with.

I have ordered some Honda spares before from Lings - excellent service and help:

It's only a year old with little use. Loathed to scrap it! I've contacted Ling, thanks for that.

Got the part for 36 quid from Ling, going to attempt it this coming week.

All fixed, did it today, right royal pain in the arse to do. But she's good as new.

Thanks for the distributor tip.
