THE BEST THINGS COME IN SMALL PACKAGES.
And that’s especially true with Honda’s BF2.3, one of the world’s lightest four-stroke outboards. The BF2.3 is so light, it rivals many two-stroke 2HP engines and electric motors, without the battery!
But just because it’s lightweight doesn’t mean we cut back on the power. The BF2.3 features 15% more power over its predecessor. Plus we added a 12% larger internal gas tank, which provides for about one hour of operation at wide open throttle. It’s a technologically advanced design that gives you power and performance – without sacrificing portability.

PACKED WITH DEPENDABLE POWER.
For mid and smaller horsepower needs, there’s plenty of punch in the Honda BF30. But it’s power you’ll feel and never hear. That’s because all Hondas are whisper quiet. So extraordinarily quiet, we don’t have to put extra dampening insulation in the cowling like most manufacturers do.
Instead we pack ‘em full of features. Like a Center Mount Tiller with up-front controls. The 3 to 3 Induction system that provides smooth, quiet operation. And Autostart Enrichment, which makes starting a breeze.
And of course, the exceptionally durable BF30 is backed by the best standard warranty you can get. The end result? More good times on the water.
-
INCREASED DISPLACEMENT FOR MORE POWER
The BF30 is among the largest displacement in it’s 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.
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.
ATTRACTIVE OPTIONS
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.
