The Honda 28443-935-000 Friction Plate is a genuine OEM component designed for B75, BF75, BF8, and BF100 outboard motors. As a direct Honda OEM part, it is manufactured to the same specification as the original, ensuring correct engagement characteristics and a proper fit within the recoil starter assembly. Honda supersedes parts at serial number breaks, so buyers should verify their motor's serial number against the fitment table before ordering to confirm part number 28443-935-000 is the right application for their unit.
Key Features
- Genuine Honda OEM — sourced directly from Honda, this Friction Plate meets the exact engagement and dimensional tolerances the original design requires, not an approximation.
- Correct Starter Engagement — the friction plate governs how the recoil starter engages and releases; a worn or degraded plate causes sluggish or failed starting, making this a critical service item.
- Broad Outboard Fitment — compatible with B75, BF75, BF8, and BF100 portable and standard outboard motors, including multiple serial ranges across those lines.
- Check Your Serial Number — Honda updates part numbers at production breaks; confirm your motor's serial number against the fitment table to ensure part number 28443-935-000 is the correct replacement for your specific unit.
The friction plate is a key component within the recoil starter mechanism of an outboard motor. It provides the controlled resistance that allows the starter pawls to engage the flywheel cup when the pull rope is drawn and to release cleanly once the engine fires, preventing the rope handle from being kicked back. When the friction plate wears or loses its tension, the starter may slip, fail to engage fully, or not release as it should — all of which make starting the motor unreliable. Replacing a worn plate restores the crisp, consistent pull-start action the motor was designed to deliver.
