BF2.3 Honda Outboards

FOUR-STROKE ENGINE DESIGN

    * World-renowned Honda quality combines proven reliability and superior fuel efficiency, with no oil mixing.


LIGHTWEIGHT/COMPACT DESIGN

    * Easy to transport; perfect for small tenders and canoes.


CENTRIFUGAL CLUTCH

    * Models available with centrifugal clutch that is able to maintain a smooth idle and then, when the throttle is advanced, automatically engage the prop above idle speed. It’s like having a neutral position.


TRANSISTOR IGNITION

    * Maintenance-free, high-energy output for quick and easy starts.


FORCED AIR-COOLED ENGINE

    * No water pump to worry about being plugged with weeds or damaged by sand. Runs in the shallows!


TWIST GRIP THROTTLE

    * Allows for precise throttle control, and the throttle tensioner minimises driver fatigue.


FRONT MOUNT CARRYING HANDLE

    * Provides superior portability and ease of installation.


360° SWIVEL STEERING

    * Provides excellent manoeuvrability in tight areas. More reverse thrust!


FOLD-DOWN TILLER HANDLE

    * A more compact design allows for easy transportation and storage.


SHALLOW WATER DRIVE

    * Allows you to run in shallow water and greatly reduces the risk of engine damage.


CORROSION PROTECTION SYSTEM

    * A patented, 'double sealed' multi-layered paint process. Sacrificial anodes and stainless steel technology, along with waterproof connectors, all enhance corrosion protection.


INTEGRAL FUEL TANK

    * Facilitates easy removal and portability as one unit. Vent may be closed for transport or extended storage periods. Runs up to 55 minutes at full throttle on a tank of fuel.


EASY MAINTENANCE

    * Convenient oil fill and drain.


STEERING FRICTION ADJUSTMENT

    * Adjust steering tension for ease in manoeuvrability.
