Key Features

• Four-Stroke Design: World-renowned Honda quality combines proven reliability and superior fuel efficiency, with no oil mixing.
• VTEC?: Honda?s Variable Valve Timing & Lift Electronic Control (VTEC?) system provides power where and when you need it. VTEC? gives you a broader, flatter torque curve and smooth power delivery throughout the engine?s operating range. The result is a superior combination of power, torque and fuel economy. VTEC? is the modern replacement for displacement.
• Dual Stage Induction: Honda?s unique variable intake system optimizes air flow to match the engine?s speed. The result? Maximized combustion efficiency, increased torque, and superb fuel economy.
• Lean Burn Control?: Lean Burn Control? increases fuel efficiency by allowing combustion to operate on a leaner air/fuel mixture. At cruising speed, this engine runs on up to 20% less fuel than others in its class. (Based on EPA Specific Fuel Consumption Mode.)
• BLAST? System: Boosted Low Speed Torque, or BLAST?, improves acceleration at low speeds. A quick movement of the throttle control activates the BLAST? system, advancing the ignition curve aggressively. “Hole Shot” is vastly improved as more horsepower gets the hull up on plane quicker.
• Dual Overhead CAM (DOHC): A powerful, compact 24-valve DOHC design creates more valve lift to pull in more air for increased horsepower. Low-maintenance design allows easy adjustment of the rocker arms. No multiple shims or trial-and-error adjusting needed.
• Engine Command: The ECM receives constant input from 18 different sensors to deliver instant starts, smooth operation, strong performance and excellent fuel efficiency.
• LAF & Knock Sensors: Linear Air Fuel (LAF) and knock sensors help determine correct fuel flow and ignition curve to maximize performance and fuel efficiency.
• Multi-Port Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI?): Programmed Fuel Injection delivers the precise amount of fuel/air to each cylinder. The result is easy starts and instant throttle response with superior fuel efficiency.
• Non-Linear Mounting System: Patented non-linear rubber mounts provide smoother operation at all engine speeds.
• Counter Rotation: Counter rotating models are available for multiple engine applications. These models improve efficiency, hull manoeuvrability and decreases driver fatigue.
• Based on Honda Accord and CR-V: By sharing many components with the Honda Accord and CR-V automobiles, the BF150 gains years of proven Honda engineering and reliability.
• Three-Way Cooling System: Three separate cooling systems keep the cylinder heads ruing cooler for long-term durability.
• Engine Alert System: The ECM monitors vital engine functions and prevents engine damage by alerting the operator of: Overheating; Water in Fuel; Low Oil Pressure; Battery; Over-Rev and Critical Engine Function
• Positive Lubrication: A crankshaft-driven, automotive-style trochoid oil pump ensures long-term durability of critical engine components.
• Single Latch Cowl: A single front-mounted latch combines with 4 securing points to ensure a water-tight seal.
• Sealed Starter: The starter motor is inverted into a sealed chamber that protects the starter drive from the elements.
• Four-Front Corrosion Protection: A patented, “Double Sealed” multi-layered paint process. Sacrificial anodes and stainless steel technology, along with waterproof coectors, all enhance corrosion protection.
• Fresh Water FlusHPort: Flushes debris and saltwater out of the engine, extending the life of the outboard.
• Stainless Steel (Steering Arm, Tilt Tube and All Shafts): Stainless steel components provide durability with long-term corrosion resistance.
• Ultra Low 3-Star CARB Emissions: Environmentally conscious technology. All Honda Marine engines exceed the highest CARB 3-Star rating to meet the rigorous California Air Resource Board’s standards.
• Excellent Warranty: The BF150 Honda outboards carry a full, three-year, non-declining, manufacturer’s warranty (parts and labour).
• Superior Battery Charging: Honda’s proven “on demand” 51 amps belt-driven alternator reduces heat buildup and provides superior battery charging capability ? 30 amps at 1,000 rpm and 40+ amps above 2,000 rpm.
• Built-In Pitot Tube: Built-in pitot tube in the gear case eliminates the need to drill holes in your boat for installation.
