Honda Set To Release New Hi-Tech BF115

Honda unveiled its brand new BF115 at the Miami Boat Show recently, which will be released worldwide in third quarter of this year.

Derived from the inline four-cylinder 2.4L DOHC engine used in Honda’s Accord motor vehicle, the completely-redesigned BF115 incorporates a range of Honda-exclusive technologies to deliver incredible power and superior fuel efficiency.

Honda's revolutionary Boosted Low Speed Torque (BLAST™) air/fuel ratio linked ignition timing control technology and high-performance gearcase combine to deliver explosive hole shot performance to get boats on the plane quicker than ever.

Fuel consumption has been reduced by a massive 20 per cent over the previous model by adopting a new lean burn control system. Known as ECOmo (Economy Controlled Motor), the system is activated when the engine is in mid-range cruising rpm and the throttle is steady.

The new BF115 is also NMEA 2000-compatible, which allows engine management information such as rpm, fuel consumption, cruising distance and alerts to be displayed on a range of compatible marine electronic displays.

More information on Honda’s new BF115 will be available closer to its release. Australian consumers will also get a sneak peek of the new engine at the major boat shows around the country this year.
