Legendary Reliability
New Style
The revised styling gives a modern, sleek look, while the DBW system introduces new features from the flagship BF350.
Automatic Tilt & Cruise Control
On DBW models, set a default trim angle, eliminating the need for manual adjustments when docking or mooring.
Auto Trim Support
On DBW models, Auto Trim Support automatically adjusts the trim based on your speed, with easy-to-tune presets for smooth performance in any condition.
O2 sensor
Honda’s O2 sensor helps your engine use fuel more efficiently, so you get smoother, more reliable performance on the water.
Key features
Boosted Low Speed Torque (BLAST)
Honda’s BLAST™ technology enhances hole shot performance, getting the hull on plane faster by adjusting the air/fuel ratio and ignition timing for more torque during rapid acceleration.
NMEA2000 Compliance
NMEA2000 compliant, this outboard connects easily to devices like sonar, fish finders, and chartplotters via CANbus technology.
Cables and accessories sold separately’
On Demand Charging and AMP+
Honda’s efficient ‘on-demand’ charging system with a belt-driven alternator prevents heat buildup and delivers superior battery charging, providing 60 amps for reliable power. AMP+ automatically boosts the RPM by 100 at idle to add 9 extra amps, preventing battery drain when using accessories like SONAR, GPS, lighting, and more ideal for offshore fishing.
More Control Than Ever
Accompanying the DBW outboards is a new remote controller to help make the most of all the intuitive features. Experience smooth with Cruise Control, then use the Automatic Tilt to set a default trim angle to avoid manually trimming the engine when docking and mooring.
4 Front Corrosion Protection
Honda’s 4-Front corrosion protection system forms a strong barrier between the engine and the elements. This advanced multi-layer, double-sealed process ensures your engine stays both visually appealing and high-performing for years to come.
Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI) & ECOmo – Lean Burn Control
Honda’s Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI), managed by an advanced Engine Control Unit (ECU), ensures easy starts, quick throttle response, and excellent fuel economy. With ECOmo Lean Burn Control, the engine adjusts the air/fuel mixture for optimal efficiency, delivering superior fuel economy compared to direct injection two-stroke models.
Low vibration and noise
The bottom-mounted flywheel minimises vibration and noise for a smoother, quieter ride. With Honda engineering at its finest, just push start and enjoy the signature V6 burble. As you throttle up, the outboard delivers low vibration, combining comfort with powerful thrust and top performance.
Trolling Control
Precise control at slow speeds is essential when fishing. The Trolling Control function (DBW only) lets you adjust power in small increments, giving you smooth, steady movement perfect for trolling.
