One other sort of off the wall question. Do you use muffs to flush
your engine? Something unique to this 20hp Honda, I've found that my
engine eats impellers for breakfast when I regularly flush it on a
garden hose with muffs. I've lately started running it only in a
barrell and so far -fingers crossed- so good. I've owned a lot of
outboards but this is the first one that's acted like this.
Anyhow, I was just wondering.

There is a port built into my BF-20 where you can flush it without
running the engine. Honda sells a small screw in adapter for a garden
house that costs about $15 if my memory is correct. It's a lot
cheaper and easier than replacing impellers.
