The Honda 91072-KT7-003 Needle Bearing (17X24X20) is a genuine OEM component designed for BF8, BF9, BF15, BF20, BFP8, BFP9, BFP15, and BFP20 portable outboard motors. As a direct Honda OEM part, this needle bearing is manufactured to the exact dimensional tolerances and load ratings specified for these outboards. Verify your motor's serial number against the fitment table to confirm part number 91072-KT7-003 is correct for your specific unit before ordering.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Needle Bearing — sourced directly from Honda, this bearing meets the precise dimensional spec — 17 mm bore, 24 mm outer diameter, 20 mm width — required for correct load distribution and rotational clearance in these outboard motors
- Direct OEM Replacement — replaces the original bearing with no rework or modification to surrounding components, restoring the running clearance the manufacturer engineered into these motors
- Broad Portable Outboard Coverage — listed for BF8, BF9, BF15, BF20, BFP8, BFP9, BFP15, and BFP20 portable outboard motors; confirm your serial number against the fitment table, as Honda updates part numbers at production breaks
- Wear and Play Prevention — a needle bearing in good condition maintains tight rotational control and minimal radial play; a worn or failed bearing introduces slop and vibration that accelerates damage to surrounding shafts and housings
A needle bearing uses a ring of slender cylindrical rollers to carry radial loads between a rotating shaft and its housing. Because the rollers are long relative to their diameter, a needle bearing handles high radial loads within a compact cross-section — an important characteristic in the confined internal assemblies of a portable outboard motor. When this bearing wears, radial play develops on the shaft it supports, leading to vibration, uneven load transfer, and accelerated wear of adjacent components. Replacing it with the correct Honda OEM part restores the original running clearance and keeps the assembly operating as designed.
