Features

Features

  • INCREASED DISPLACEMENT FOR MORE POWER: The BF30 is among the largest displacement in their class, at 552 cc (33.7 cubic inches). This provides more torque in midrange operation.
  • 3 TO 3 INDUCTION: 3 to 3 induction provides smooth, quiet operation, along with instant throttle response and performance. A compact 3-cylinder, 3-carburetor design utilizes one carburetor per cylinder. This design is more responsive than competitive throttle bodies with long intake runners.
  • PGM IGNITION: A reliable microprocessor accurately controls ignition timing during start-up and across the entire RPM range, providing optimum overall performance.
  • FORCED AIR VENTILATION: The unique air intake on the top of the cowl allows cooler air to enter and warmer air to escape. The ventilation system reduces under-the-hood operating temperature, improving performance and long-term durability of the electrical components.
  • 3 INLET COOLING: Provides plenty of water to maintain optimum engine temperature in all conditions.
  • HONDA QUALITY: Our outboards share many technologies and components used in Honda vehicles, with all the benefits of years of proven Honda engineering, precision manufacturing and reliability.
  • 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 last day as it is on the first.
  • ENGINE ALERT SYSTEM: The Engine Alert System uses visual, audio and RPM reduction circuits to alert the operator of over-heating, low oil PSI and over-revving.
  • CORROSION RESISTANCE: Honda’s exclusive 4-Front Corrosion Protection System offers a patented, double-sealed multi-layered paint process.
  • EASY STARTING: Auto Start Enrichment acts as an automatic choke. It automatically adjusts the air/fuel mixture for quick, easy starting and warm-up.
  • HIGH OUTPUT CHARGING SYSTEM FOR MORE POWER: A rectifier/regulator is standard on both manual and electric-start models. On manual models, you have the convenience of 4 Amps to charge the battery, and on electric-start models, a high-output 10 Amp system.
  • EASY MAINTENANCE: Easy access side-mounted oil filter and oil fillers simplify maintenance, while "screw-type" valve adjusters reduce maintenance costs.
  • CONVENIENT CONTROLS: The center mounted, ergonomically designed tiller handle is longer for improved handling. Adjustments for throttle and steering friction allow easier control. Up front shift lever, PTT switch, and engine alert lamps provide added convenience.
  • FORWARD MOUNTED SHIFT LEVER: Provides easy access to the forward-mounted controls.
  • GAS ASSIST TILT: Acting much like a pressure strut on a car's trunk lid, the gas-filled cylinder makes it easy to tilt the engine for running in shallow water, or to raise it completely out of the water for protection.
  • POWER TRIM/TILT: Allows you to trim the unit for maximum performance and handling. Trim Range: - 4° to +12°, Tilt Range: 64°
