The Honda BF10D3SH outboard motor provides dependable 9.9 HP performance in a compact, lightweight package designed for maximum portability and simplicity. This 4-stroke, 2-cylinder engine showcases Honda’s proven automotive engineering heritage, purpose-built to deliver exceptional fuel efficiency and reliability in demanding marine environments. The clean-burning design eliminates oil mixing requirements while meeting strict emission standards for environmentally responsible boating.
Featuring Honda’s easy one-hand starting system, the BF10D3SH utilizes a digital CDI system that retards spark timing during startup, requiring only 60% of normal pull effort for effortless manual starting. This makes it ideal for boaters who prefer the simplicity and reliability of manual operation without electric start complexity. The 6-amp charging system with voltage regulator provides essential power for basic electronics and accessories while maintaining lightweight efficiency.
The ergonomic tiller handle delivers precise steering control with an integrated forward-mount shift lever that allows fingertip operation between forward, neutral, and reverse gears. The twist-grip throttle features adjustable friction control to minimize operator fatigue during extended outings. With its compact 15-inch shaft length and lightweight 92-pound dry weight, the Honda BF10D3SH offers exceptional portability for small boats, inflatables, dinghies, and tender applications.
Honda’s exclusive pendulum mount system effectively absorbs vibration throughout the entire RPM range, delivering remarkably smooth operation that sets it apart from competitive portable outboards. The programmed ignition system ensures consistent starts and optimal performance across all operating conditions, while the comprehensive engine alert system monitors critical parameters including oil pressure, temperature, and RPM levels to prevent costly damage.
Built with Honda’s patented corrosion protection system featuring double-sealed multi-layered paint, sacrificial anodes, and marine-grade stainless steel components, the BF10D3SH withstands harsh saltwater environments. The efficient 2.33:1 gear ratio paired with a 4-blade aluminum propeller delivers excellent acceleration and responsive handling for its class.
Additional features include reverse exhaust relief for maximum backing power, shallow water drive capability for confident operation in skinny waters, and manual trim adjustment for performance optimization. Whether powering a small fishing skiff, serving as auxiliary power for larger vessels, or providing reliable propulsion for inflatable boats, the Honda BF10D3SH combines legendary Honda dependability with unmatched portability for boaters who demand simple, reliable performance.
