BF15

Honda’s advanced four-stroke technology ensures the BF15 delivers responsive, smooth and reliable power in a lightweight package…


Features

FOUR-STROKE ENGINE DESIGN
World-renowned Honda quality combines proven reliability and superior fuel efficiency, with no oil mixing.

REVERSE EXHAUST RELIEF
Additional exhaust relief above the cavitation plate allows the prop to run in clean, exhaustfree water, producing more thrust.

DISPLACEMENT
At 350cc the 15HP large displacement coupled with the long-stroke design provides optimum torque throughout the rpm range.

LIGHTWEIGHT DESIGN
The BF15 is very lightweight, allowing easy transport and convenient mounting to the hull.

EASY ONE HAND STARTING
Working together, a built-in decompression release and Digital CDI system set the ignition timing during start-up. Just 60% of the normal effort is required to pull-start the engine by hand!

PGM IGNITION
A reliable microprocessor accurately controls ignition timing during start-up and across the entire rpm range, providing optimum overall operation.

HIGH OUTPUT CHARGING
Largest alternator in its class! 12amp at just 3000rpm maintains the battery charge and keep electronics going, even at trolling speeds.

AUTO START ENRICHMENT
On electric start models, automatically adjusts the airfuel mixture for quick, easy starting and warm-up.

3 STAGE CARBURETION
While conventional two-circuit carburetors go directly from a lean mixture at idle to a rich setting at full throttle, the BF15 adds a third middle stage for better economy and smoother, stronger operation.

OVERHEAT MODE
Protects the engine from severe damage due to low oil and overheating by automatically reducing RPM.

CORROSION PROTECTION SYSTEM
A patented 'double sealed' multi-layered paint process. Sacrificial anodes and stainless steel technology, along with waterproof connectors, all enhance corrosion protection.

LONGER TILLER HANDLE
The BF15 has a convenient longer tiller handle for increased control and reduced steering effort. The extended handle is made of a new lightweight composite for increased durability and weight reduction.

UP FRONT TILLER CONTROLS
The convenient Forward-Mount Shift Lever allows fingertip shifting. Twist Grip Throttle and Tensioner allows for superior throttle friction control, minimising driver fatigue.

EZ STEER FRICTION CONTROL
Unique lever design allows operator to precisely adjust steering tension for improved control and comfort.

SHALLOW WATER DRIVE
On manual models allows you to run in shallow water and greatly reduces the risk of engine damage.

POSITIVE LUBRICATION
A crankshaft-driven, automotive-style trochoid oil pump ensures critical engine component long-term durability.

GAS ASSIST TILT
Gas Assist function makes it easy to tilt the engine for running in shallow water, or raise it completely out of the water for protection.
