The Honda 50417-881-840ZB Swivel Shaft (Oyster Silver Metallic-U) is a genuine OEM replacement built for the BF8 portable outboard motor. This part carries the Oyster Silver Metallic-U color finish, so confirm your outboard's color code before purchasing to ensure a consistent match. As a direct Honda OEM component, it is manufactured to the same specifications as the part it replaces, making installation straightforward on the correct application. Check your serial number against the fitment table to verify this is the right variant for your BF8.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Construction — sourced directly from Honda, this swivel shaft meets the same dimensional and finish standards as the original part it replaces on BF8 portable outboard motors.
- Color-Matched Finish — finished in Oyster Silver Metallic-U; verify your outboard's color code before ordering to ensure the correct variant for your unit.
- Serial Number Verification Recommended — Honda supersedes parts at production breaks, so cross-check your BF8 serial number against the compatibility table to confirm this is the right swivel shaft for your motor.
- BF8 Fitment — designed specifically for the BF8 portable outboard motor; confirm your model and color variant before installation.
The swivel shaft is a core structural component of the outboard motor's tilt and swivel bracket system. It acts as the pivot point that allows the motor to rotate horizontally for steering and to swing up for trim or removal — keeping the powerhead properly articulated relative to the transom mount. When this shaft wears, corrodes, or becomes damaged, steering response can become stiff or erratic, and the motor may no longer sit or swing correctly on the bracket. Replacing it with the correct OEM part restores smooth, controlled movement through the full range of tilt and swivel motion.
