Honda BF60 Outboard

Honda’s brand new BF60 four-stroke EFI outboard engine expands the premium product range available to Australian boaters.

Slotting in between the widely-acclaimed BF40/50 and BF75/90, the new BF60 combines exclusive Honda
technologies in a lightest-weight-in-class package that delivers best-in-class performance.

Weighing 110kg, the newly-designed, water-cooled, 998cm3 three-cylinder engine incorporates electronic
fuel injection, Honda’s revolutionary Boosted Low Speed Torque (BLAST™) air/fuel ratio and ignition-timing
technology, and lean burn control to deliver powerful start-up and acceleration together with outstanding fuel
economy during cruising (ECOmo). A high-performance gear case further contributes to the BF60’s impressive
acceleration and top-end speed.

Along with its powerful 17amp alternator, the BF60 is also NMEA2000 compatible, which allows the engine to
communicate with onboard electronics to deliver a wide-range of information to head-unit displays.
Sporting a futuristic new look that reflects its superior performance, the BF60 is available in remote control
(including a Power Thrust model) and tiller versions. Among its many features, the multi-function tiller handle
incorporates a power trim-tilt switch which is conveniently located in the throttle grip, so the engine can be easily
trimmed while underway allowing the operator to remain completely focused on the water.

Consistently leading the world in environmental performance, the smooth and quiet-running BF60 exceeds
the latest US EPA emissions standards – the most stringent in the world; 2008 CARB standards; and domestic
Japanese voluntary regulations.

The new BF60 will also achieve the Outboard Engine Distributors Association’s (OEDA) three-star rating for
ultra-low emissions.

Covered by Honda’s five-year warranty, the new BF60 will be available through Honda’s national marine dealer
network in the second half of the year.
