Performance and Efficiency

Four-Stroke Design

• World-renowned Honda quality combines proven reliability and superior fuel efficiency, with no oil mixing.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 19% less fuel* than its predecessor.
• *Based on EPA Specific Fuel Consumption Mode.

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.

LAF & Knock Sensors

• Linear Air Fuel (LAF) and knock sensors help determine correct fuel flow and ignition curve to maximize performance and fuel efficiency.

Engine Command System

• The ECM receives constant input from 18 different sensors to deliver instant starts, smooth operation, strong performance and excellent fuel efficiency.

New Intuitive Drive-by-Wire System

• The Honda iST® command and control system provides superb control and plug-and-play installation. The system offers all of the features boaters are looking for, including control of multiple engines and two control stations; effortless shift and throttle control; fine tuning of throttle settings at any speed; virtual positioning and anchoring, enhanced docking and slow speed control; return-to-port capability; and simple, easy-to-understand user interface.

Reliability and Durability

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.

3-Way Cooling System

• Three separate cooling systems keep the cylinder heads running 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
• • 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 connectors, 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.

Warranty

• The BF150 Honda outboards carry a full, three-year, non-declining, manufacturer's warranty (parts and labour).

Convenience and Ease of Use

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(optional built-in Pitot Tube kit required)

• Built-in pitot tube in the gear case eliminates the need to drill holes in your boat for installation.
