The Honda 41160-881-000 Propeller Shaft is a genuine OEM component designed for BF75, BF100, and BF8 outboard motors. As a direct Honda OEM replacement, this shaft is manufactured to the same specifications as the original, ensuring proper alignment and engagement within the gearcase. Confirm part number 41160-881-000 against your motor's serial number and model configuration before ordering, as Honda supersedes gearcase components at production breaks.
Key Features
- Genuine Honda OEM — sourced directly from Honda, this shaft meets the dimensional and material standards of the original component it replaces, with no guesswork on fitment.
- Gearcase Integrity — a correctly functioning propeller shaft transfers power from the gear train to the propeller cleanly; a worn or damaged shaft introduces vibration, reduces thrust efficiency, and can lead to complete propulsion loss.
- Broad Outboard Fitment — compatible with BF75, BF100, and BF8 Honda portable and standard outboard motors, covering a range of horsepower classes in Honda's four-stroke outboard line.
- Serial Number Verification Recommended — Honda revises gearcase assemblies across production runs, so check your motor's serial number against the fitment table to confirm this is the correct shaft for your unit.
The propeller shaft is a core drivetrain component housed inside the outboard's gearcase. It receives rotational force from the drive gear and transmits it directly to the propeller, converting engine power into forward or reverse thrust. When the propeller shaft is worn, bent, or damaged — often as a result of striking underwater debris — the motor may vibrate excessively, the propeller may not engage cleanly, or propulsion may be lost entirely. Replacing a damaged shaft with a genuine Honda OEM part restores full power transfer and keeps the gearcase assembly operating as designed.
