The Honda 13423-PT0-003 Balancer Shaft Metal (No.3) is a genuine OEM component designed for BF115 and BF130 outboard motors. As a direct Honda OEM part, it is manufactured to the same specifications as the original, ensuring the correct fit and function within the balancer shaft assembly. Confirm your outboard's serial number against the fitment table before ordering, as Honda supersedes parts at defined serial breaks within these model lines.
Key Features
- Genuine Honda OEM — sourced directly from Honda, this bearing metal matches the original specification for the balancer shaft position in BF115 and BF130 outboards
- Exact Replacement — part number 13423-PT0-003 replaces the original component directly, with no modifications needed to the balancer shaft assembly
- Serial Number Verification Recommended — Honda issues supersession updates at serial number breaks on the BF115 and BF130; check your outboard's serial number against the compatibility table to confirm this is the correct bearing metal for your unit
- Balancer Shaft Integrity — a worn or damaged bearing metal at this position allows excessive clearance on the balancer shaft, leading to vibration, noise, and accelerated wear on surrounding components
The balancer shaft in a four-stroke outboard motor like the BF115 and BF130 rotates in opposition to the crankshaft to cancel out the primary vibration forces produced by the pistons and connecting rods. The bearing metals — precision-fit shells that support the shaft in its housing — control the oil film clearance that keeps the shaft turning smoothly under load. When a bearing metal at the No.3 position wears beyond its service limit, the resulting clearance allows the shaft to run off-center, generating vibration, bearing noise, and oil pressure loss that can escalate into serious internal damage if left unaddressed.
