World-renowned Honda quality combines proven reliability and superior fuel efficiency, with no oil mixing.
Honda’s Variable Valve Timing & Lift Electronic Control (VTEC®) system provides power where and when you need it. VTEC gives you a broader, flatter torque curve and smooth power delivery throughout the engine’s operating range. The result is a superior combination of power, torque and fuel economy. VTEC is the modern replacement for displacement.
Honda’s unique variable intake system optimizes air flow to match the engine’s speed. The result? Maximized combustion efficiency, increased torque, and superb fuel economy.
Lean Burn Control® increases fuel efficiency by allowing combustion to operate on a leaner air/fuel mixture. At cruising speed, this engine runs on up to 20% less fuel* than others in its class.
*Based on EPA Specific Fuel Consumption Mode.
A powerful, compact 24-valve DOHC design creates more valve lift to pull in more air for increased horsepower. Low-maintenance design allows easy adjustment of the rocker arms. No multiple shims or trial-and-error adjusting needed.
The ECM receives constant input from 18 different sensors to deliver instant starts, smooth operation, strong performance and excellent fuel efficiency.
Linear Air Fuel (LAF) and knock sensors help determine correct fuel flow and ignition curve to maximize performance and fuel efficiency.
Programmed Fuel Injection delivers the precise amount of fuel/air to each cylinder. The result is easy starts and instant throttle response with superior fuel efficiency.
Patented non-linear rubber mounts provide smoother operation at all engine speeds.
Counter rotating models are available for multiple engine applications. These models improve efficiency, hull maneuverability and decreases driver fatigue.
By sharing many components with the Honda Accord, CRV and Element automobiles, the BF150 gains years of proven Honda engineering and reliability.
Three separate cooling systems keep the cylinder heads running cooler for long-term durability.
The ECM monitors vital engine functions and prevents engine damage by alerting the operator of:
A crankshaft-driven, automotive-style trochoid oil pump ensures long-term durability of critical engine components.
A single front-mounted latch combines with 4 securing points to ensure a water-tight seal.
The starter motor is inverted into a sealed chamber that protects the starter drive from the elements.
A patented, "Double Sealed" multi-layered paint process. Sacrificial anodes and stainless steel technology, along with waterproof connectors, all enhance corrosion protection.
Flushes debris and saltwater out of the engine, extending the life of the outboard.
Stainless steel components provide durability with long-term corrosion resistance.
Environmentally conscious technology. All Honda Marine engines exceed the highest CARB 3-Star rating to meet the rigorous California Air Resource Board's standards.
Honda's True 5 Warranty is the best in the business. This transferable, non-declining warranty is the same on the last day as it is on the first.
Honda's proven "on demand" 51 amp belt-driven alternator reduces heat buildup and provides superior battery charging capability - 30 amps at 1000 RPM and 40+ amps above 2000 RPM.
Built-in pitot tube in the gear case eliminates the need to drill holes in your boat for installation.
