Your Honda Advantage

Honda’s patented 4-Front corrosion paint process creates a tight barrier between the engine and environment. This double sealed, multi-layered process helps to keep your engine looking and performing like new. We first anodise the aluminium casing with our patented ‘Double Seal’ process. Then an epoxy primer is applied before the shimmering silver or white paint. For further protection from UV rays, we apply a clear resin topcoat to finish. And to be absolutely sure, a sacrificial anode is fitted, and all connectors are waterproof.

Honda outboards consistently deliver high charging outputs across the range, helping you to power all your adventures and accessories on the water. Some outboard manufacturers only advertise total alternator output. Honda measures alternator output at normal operating temperatures so you know exactly what power you can expect on board. Honda also advertises total amps and charging amps. The charging amps are the total amps minus the ignition’s requirements. E.g., an engine produces 27 amps in total; the ignition uses 5 amps, leaving 22 charging amps available to power accessories.

Strong Acceleration and Hole Shot! BLAST is an advanced “air-fuel ratio linked ignition timing control” designed to improve acceleration at low speed. BLAST advances the ignition timing to its maximum at the time of rapid acceleration at the same time the air/fuel ratio becomes richer to prevent knock. The result is greatly increased torque, and great holeshot performance to get the hull up on the plane quicker.

The Variable Valve Timing & Lift Electronic Control system achieves the best of both worlds, delivering smooth, stable idling by utilising mid cam lobes to operate the intake valves at low RPM. Then at 4500rpm, engaging a “high output” cam lobe for high RPM operation, broadening the torque curve and delivering incredible top end power. VTEC offers a superior blend of improved power, torque and fuel efficiency at every speed. The ultimate in racing inspired, fine tuned performance.

Available on the BF90/100/150/225/250/350

Honda’s Lean Burn Control technology, ECOmo, maximises fuel efficiency by adjusting the air/fuel mixture according to speed and load. Offering significantly improved fuel consumption over direct injection two-stroke and competing four-stroke models. It’s class leading performance.

All Honda outboards from the BF40 to BF350 are NMEA2000 compliant, allowing simplified connectivity with NMEA2000 electronic equipment such as sonars/fish finders, chart plotters, and other devices via CANbus network technology. With a Honda, you only need an interface cable to employ NMEA 2000 connectivity, no expensive gateway devices are necessary.

Honda Multi-Port Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI) delivers the precise amount of air/fuel to each cylinder under all operating speeds and conditions. This results in a range of benefits including: quick starts, instant throttle response, powerful performance, and lower fuel consumption.

Available on BF40-BF350

At idle, the Adjustable Idle Charge system automatically adjusts engine speed to raise the charging rate when an increased electrical load is detected. This helps prevent critical battery drain, giving you peace of mind when fishing kilometres offshore. Ideal for when accessories such as sonar, GPS, lighting, stereo, live wells, and trolling motors are all operating simultaneously.

Available on BF250-BF350

Innovative design features that see the flywheel positioned near the base of the powerhead. This design, combined with the use of linear rubber mounts, ensures vibration levels are extremely low, offers improved handling, and better hull maneuverability.

Available on selected mid range and high HP outboards
