Features

Features

  • LIGHTWEIGHT AND COMPACT: The BF5's lightweight, compact design makes it perfect for small tenders, sailboats, jon boats, and inflatables. Weighing in at only 60 pounds, this motor is easy to transport.
  • EASY TO CARRY AND INSTALL: Enlarged carrying handles provides superior portability and ease of installation. The BF5 is also designed to make be easy to carry, either front and back or on each side.
  • CONVENIENT FOLD-DOWN TILLER HANDLE: The tiller handle’s compact design allows for easy transportation and storage.
  • TWIST GRIP THROTTLE - MORE COMFORTABLE TO USE: Allows for precise throttle control. A unique throttle tensioner minimizes driver fatigue.
  • F-N-R GEARSHIFT: The BF5 features full forward, neutral, and reverse shifting. A safety lockout system allows the engine to be started in neutral gear only.
  • SHALLOW WATER DRIVE: An innovative shallow water drive feature lets you tilt the motor up, allowing you to easily operate in shallow areas. Shallow water drive greatly reduces the risk of engine damage.
  • QUIETEST IN ITS CLASS: The BF5 lead its class in noise reduction from low to high speed.
  • LOW VIBRATION FOR A COMFORTABLE RIDE: Honda's exclusive design optimizes the isolation mounts to minimize the transfer of vibration to both the tiller handle and the transom. The custom rubber mounts absorb vibration, resulting in a motor with among the lowest handle vibration in its class.
  • LARGE DISPLACEMENT ENGINE FOR MORE POWER: Water-cooled, single cylinder design for better low- to mid-range power.
  • BEST IN CLASS RUN TIME: The large capacity 1.5 L internal fuel tank provides enough fuel for over 40 minutes of wide open throttle operation. Need more run time? The BF5 offers an external fuel tank connection.
  • EASY TO START AND STOP: You'll be impressed with how easy it is to start the BF5. The decompression mechanism opens the exhaust valve during the starting process. This reduces the amount of force needed to start the motor. Starting is easy, every time. The one-push stop switch makes it just as easy to shut off the motor. Pressing the stop button once safely shuts off the motor without it re-starting.
  • RELIABLE, EFFICIENT 4-STROKE DESIGN: World-renowned Honda quality combines proven reliability and superior fuel efficiency, with no oil mixing.
  • TRUE 5 WARRANTY - UNMATCHED PEACE OF MIND: Honda's True 5 Warranty is the best in the business. This transferable, non-declining warranty is the same on the first day as it is on the last.
  • 4-FRONT CORROSION PROTECTION SYSTEM - FIGHTS THE ELEMENTS: A patented, "Double Sealed" multi-layered paint process. Sacrificial anodes and stainless steel technology, along with waterproof connectors, all enhance corrosion protection.
  • OIL ALERT PROTECTS YOUR ENGINE: A Low Oil Alert combined with an RPM reduction feature protect the engine from severe damage if the oil reaches a low pressure.
