Key features

Ultimate portable power

The BF4, 5 and 6 start from a low 27kg – their lightweight nature and new carrying handle design enables you to easily transport and store away the engines. The tiller handle can be fully folded to make the unit even more compact making storage even more convenient

Low vibration

Sick of getting a numb or tingly arm while out on the water from the harsh vibrations resonating from your engine? Not with the BF4, 5 and 6, Honda have specifically developed new rubber engine mounts that are integrated into the outboard to absorb practically all vibrations across the rpm range; delivering superior comfort to the operator, meaning that you can travel longer and further in complete comfort.

Corrosion protection system

Every Honda engine undergoes an exclusive four-stage coating process for protection against harsh conditions like ultraviolet rays and saltwater exposure. A double-sealed anodising treatment is applied to the aluminium alloy base, followed by the epoxy primer undercoat, acrylic aqua marine silver paint, and finally, the acrylic resin topcoat.

Extended running time

Each engine has an integrated large capacity fuel tank built in, hidden away under the cowl this additional 1.5l of fuel gives the operator longer continuous running time; the longest running time available in their class with up to 43 minutes at wide open throttle. Equipped with a Honda’s decompression mechanism, the BF4, 5 and 6 are a breeze to start at whatever temperature the engine may be.

Honda exclusive

As with all Honda outboards, Honda’s portable range boasts all the benefits of Honda’s advanced four-stroke technology, like unparalleled easy starting, quiet operation and low emissions. The range offers the lowest in fuel consumption and maintenance costs, in addition to the performance and durability for which Honda is renowned.

One touch engine stop

Equipped with a one touch engine stop switch for convenience, making it safer in emergency situations and also making it much easier to turn off the engine when you reach your destination. To protect the outboard, an oil alert system automatically limits the engine speed to 2,300 rpm in case of an oil pressure drop.

Easy transport and storage

The front mount carrying handle provides superior portability and ease of installation. The easy-to-maintain, compact design allows for easy transportation and storage, these features mean you can spend less time worrying about your engine, and more enjoying the outdoors.
