The Honda BF140AXCRA represents Honda’s sophisticated approach to multi-engine marine propulsion, delivering robust 140 horsepower through an advanced 2.4-liter DOHC 16-valve engine specifically configured for dual outboard installations with traditional mechanical controls. The counter-rotation design ensures optimal boat handling and performance when paired with a standard rotation outboard, eliminating propeller torque effects and providing superior straight-line tracking, enhanced turning characteristics, and improved overall vessel control.
This 25″ extra-long shaft configuration makes it ideal for center console boats, bay boats, and sportfishing vessels with standard to deeper transoms requiring extended shaft length for optimal propeller positioning. The mechanical steering system features Honda’s smooth-operating traditional command and control, providing experienced boaters with direct mechanical linkage that’s compatible with most repower applications and existing steering systems, delivering precise boat handling through proven cable-actuated throttle and shift mechanisms.
Built upon Honda’s renowned automotive engineering foundation, the BF140AXCRA features Honda’s exclusive VTEC® technology that optimizes power delivery across the entire RPM range, delivering explosive mid-range torque when acceleration matters most. The innovative dual stage induction system maximizes air intake for superior combustion efficiency, while BLAST™ technology aggressively advances ignition timing for dramatically improved hole shots and acceleration.
Honda’s legendary reliability shines through with the advanced PGM-FI fuel injection system, ensuring optimal fuel delivery in all conditions while meeting stringent CARB emissions standards. The Lean Burn Control technology delivers exceptional fuel efficiency by optimizing the air-fuel mixture during cruising speeds, providing superior fuel economy compared to competitive engines in its class.
The robust 55-amp alternator provides reliable charging power for today’s electronics-heavy multi-engine boats, delivering 40 amps of charging power to keep onboard systems operational across both engines. The classic Aquamarine Silver finish provides excellent corrosion resistance while maintaining Honda’s distinctive marine aesthetic that has defined quality marine propulsion for decades.
Standard features include power trim and tilt, NMEA 2000® certification for seamless electronics integration without expensive gateway interfaces, built-in speedometer pickup, freshwater flush port, and Honda’s comprehensive corrosion protection system featuring multiple anodes and specialized marine coatings designed to withstand the harsh saltwater environment.
Perfect for twin outboard bay boats, center consoles, and sportfishing vessels requiring traditional mechanical controls with 25″ shaft length, the Honda BF140AXCRA combines proven 4-cylinder reliability with mechanical steering precision, VTEC® performance, and counter-rotation engineering, delivering the synchronized performance and legendary Honda dependability that experienced boaters demand for their offshore and inshore adventures where traditional control reliability and proven operation are valued.
