The Honda 13212-PMM-A01 Connecting Rod Bearing B (Black) is a genuine OEM component designed for BF75 and BF90 outboard motors. As a direct Honda OEM part, it is manufactured to the exact dimensions and tolerances Honda specifies for these motors, ensuring a proper fit without guesswork. The Black designation is a size coding used by Honda — confirm this matches your motor's required bearing grade before ordering. Buyers should verify their serial number against the fitment table, as Honda supersedes connecting rod bearing specifications at production breaks.
Key Features
- OEM Bearing Precision — genuine Honda construction to the exact journal clearance specification required for smooth, low-friction connecting rod operation in BF75 and BF90 outboard motors
- Grade-Coded Sizing — the Black color code identifies this bearing's specific size grade; match this code to your engine's crankpin and connecting rod bore measurements before installation
- Direct OEM Replacement — manufactured to Honda's part number 13212-PMM-A01 and a direct fit for BF75 and BF90 outboard motors with no modification needed
- Serial Number Verification Recommended — Honda updates bearing part numbers at production serial breaks; check your motor's serial number against the fitment table to confirm this is the correct grade for your unit
The connecting rod bearing is a precision sleeve that sits between the connecting rod big end and the crankshaft journal, allowing the rod to rotate smoothly around the crank pin as the piston travels up and down. In a four-stroke outboard like the BF75 and BF90, this bearing carries significant load with every power stroke, and it depends on a continuous film of pressurized oil to prevent metal-to-metal contact. When a connecting rod bearing wears beyond its clearance tolerance or loses that oil film, the result is audible knocking, accelerating journal damage, and — if left uncorrected — catastrophic connecting rod or crankshaft failure.
