Honda Outboards: Rated #1 in Customer Satisfaction by J.D. Power & Associates

Honda’s BF50 and BF40 horsepower (hp) outboard engines have been designed to pack maximum power and easy handling into a lightweight, compact and ergonomic design.
Ideal for pontoon, shallow-draft walleye or bay bass boats running in flats or deep water, both models deliver superior performance in a lightweight package; both are loaded with user-friendly features that provide smooth, quiet operation with instant throttle response and performance.

“In the U.S. alone, there are more than 44 million recreational anglers who depend on their boat engines to get them to their favorite fishing holes,” said Robin Senger, Honda Marine Marketing. “Our goal at Honda Marine is to provide a reliable, technologically advanced engine that not only keeps them on the water, but gives them time for one more cast.”

The higher horsepower (hp) BF50 is a featherweight: with dry weight ranging from 205 lbs (93 kg) to 214 lbs (97.5 kg) depending on configuration, it is the lightest 50 hp, 4-stroke engine in the world.

Both the Honda BF50 and BF40 feature the Auto-Start Enrichment System; automatic choking; a longer, center-mounted tiller handle; fingertip control of critical functions; an exclusive, Non-Linear Mounting System; a 3-cylinder engine with a 3 to 3 Induction System; and the innovative offset crankshaft.

World-Class Features

 Similar to fuel-injection, the microprocessor-controlled Auto-Start Enrichment System allows both engines to be started with the simple turn of a key, while automatically adjusting the air-fuel mixture for quick, easy starts and warm-ups and increased power and torque at any rpm;

 The convenient, 8-inch center mounted tiller handle is longer than on previous models, allowing anglers to improve maneuverability and control;

 Throttle friction control, power tilt/trim control and engine alert indicators are located at the operator’s fingertips for quick, comfortable adjustment at a glance. And a generous -4-o to +12o trim angle makes for maximum performance and handling, speeding anglers to their honey holes in rapid time;

 Honda’s patented, exclusive Non-Linear Mounting system incorporates non-linear rubber mounts for smoother operation at all engine speeds;

 The lightweight, compact, 3-cylinder engines utilize a 3 to 3 induction system, or one carburetor per cylinder, for instant throttle response and increased fuel efficiency; the design is more responsive than competitive throttle bodies with long intake runners;

 An offset crankshaft places both engines in a class by themselves in terms of quiet operation; this innovative design reduces vibration by locating the powerhead directly over the transom pivot point, helping make the BF50 and BF40 engines among the quietest outboards on the market.

The Honda BF50 engine is available in both 25-inch and 20-inch shaft models, while the BF40 comes in a 20-inch shaft size.

Description

September 13, 2006 – Honda Motor Co., Ltd. introduced today the all-new BF90 and BF75 medium-sized^*1 4-stroke marine outboard engines. The two new models will go on sale through Honda’s outboard dealers in Japan on November 1, 2006.

The new BF90 and BF75 achieve outstanding clean exhaust performance that exceeds US California Air Resources Board (CARB) emissions regulations for 2008 – the most stringent emissions standards in the world – while delivering superb performance, fuel efficiency and reliability. They are also the lightest, most compact models in their output category^*2 (90 to 100 PS).

Developed on the base of the 1.5-liter engine of the Honda Fit automobile, the new engines feature Honda’s PGM-FI programmed fuel injection system and lean-burn combustion, and VTEC^*3. They also boast the world’s first ignition timing governed by BLAST^*4 (Boosted Low Speed Torque) air/fuel ratio technology and other advanced electronic control devices. Together with a lightweight, compact design, these technologies combine to offer outstanding performance and fuel efficiency. Maximum speed and acceleration performance are improved, while fuel consumption is reduced by more than 20%^*5 compared to the previous BF90 model^*6. Battery charging capacity has been more than doubled to a class-leading 35 amperes.

Honda has already taken steps to ensure that all 19 models in its marine outboard engine lineup, from the BF2 (2 PS) to the BF225 (225 PS), deliver emission performance complying with CARB 2008 regulations, making Honda the world’s first outboard engine manufacturer to make its entire lineup CARB 2008 compatible^*7. As a symbol of their clean operation, all outboard engines for sale in Japan display an “Ultra-Low Emissions” logo to identify them as the world’s leading environment-friendly engines.
