COMPACT INNOVATION

The BF40 and BF50 outboard engines retain their class-leading lightweight, compact packaging, enhanced with PGM-FI electronic fuel injection, Honda’s original Boosted Low Speed Torque (BLAST™) air/fuel ratio and ignition-timing technology, and lean burn control to deliver powerful startup and acceleration together with outstanding fuel economy during cruising (ECOmo).

WINNING DESIGN

A reduction gear is employed to achieve compact engine layout by offsetting the in-line three-cylinder engine forward, while a long-branch plastic inlet manifold and miniaturised electronic components further contribute to the class-topping lightweight, compact design. Like Honda’s larger outboard engines, the BF40 and BF50 feature a striking ‘wing form’ design, emphasising the design concept of slimness and strength.

BEST IN CLASS

The BF80 and BF100’s 1.5L, SOHC, 16-valve, inline four-cylinder engine is inspired by the same remarkable engine that powers the iconic Honda motor vehicle, the ‘Jazz’. With the exception of the cylinder sleeves, these engines feature an all-aluminium alloy block, resulting in a very lightweight and powerful package. With a powerful 1.5L, Single Over Head Cam shaft (SOHC), 16-valve, inline four-cylinder engine, the BF80 sets new levels of performance in the 80Hp segment. A perfect blend of Honda’s world renowned marine and automotive technologies, light weight and compact design assures this engine are a firm favourite with boating enthusiasts. Provision of PGM-FI, Blast, and ECOmo, combine to ensure a perfect blend of power and fuel economy throughout the engine operating range. With NMEA2000® compliance, connectivity of BF80 is simplified with other popular NMEA2000® equipment, such as chart plotters or fish finders. Trolling control between 650–1000 rpm provides accurate slow speed control, ideal for fishing or marina maneuvering

LEAN BURN CONTROL

Adjusts the air/fuel mix according to speed and load to maximise efficiency. Inclusion of lean burn control offers significantly improved fuel consumption over direct injection two-stroke models as well as over competing four-stroke models. The mode in which lean burn control is used is referred to as ECOmo (Economy Controlled Motor).
