The Honda 15231-PFB-003 Relief Valve is a genuine OEM component designed for BF60 and BFP60 outboard motors. As a direct Honda replacement, this part is manufactured to the same specifications as the original, ensuring it operates correctly within the motor's lubrication circuit. Verify your motor's serial number against the fitment table to confirm part number 15231-PFB-003 is the right match for your unit before ordering.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Oil Pressure Control — Honda-sourced original equipment, engineered to open at the correct pressure threshold for BF60 and BFP60 outboard motors — no guesswork on calibration.
- Direct OEM Replacement — this Relief Valve is designed to drop in as a like-for-like replacement, maintaining the integrity of the motor's lubrication system without modification.
- Outboard Fitment — compatible with BF60 and BFP60 Honda outboard motors; confirm your serial number against the fitment table, as Honda supersedes parts at serial breaks.
- Protects Engine Internals — a correctly functioning relief valve prevents oil pressure spikes that can damage bearings and other internal components; a failed valve risks both under- and over-pressurisation of the lubrication circuit.
A relief valve regulates oil pressure within an outboard motor's lubrication system by opening to divert excess oil back to the sump when pressure rises above the designed limit. This prevents damaging pressure spikes from reaching bearings, journals, and other lubricated surfaces inside the motor. When the relief valve sticks closed, oil pressure climbs unchecked and can cause seal failures or internal damage; when it sticks open, oil pressure drops and critical surfaces run without adequate lubrication.
