The Honda BF150J / 105 Jet represents Honda’s most powerful and sophisticated jet drive outboard, engineered for professional and serious recreational boaters who demand maximum performance in challenging shallow water environments. This premium jet drive system converts the power from Honda’s proven 150HP propeller shaft engine into a 105 Jet rating, delivering exceptional thrust and precision control through its advanced jet pump propulsion system.
Built on Honda’s flagship 4-stroke DOHC platform, the BF150J features a robust 4-cylinder, 16-valve engine with 2,354cc displacement and a bore and stroke of 87 x 99mm. Operating within a full throttle RPM range of 5,000-6,000 rpm, this powerhouse delivers consistent, reliable performance while running on standard 86-octane fuel through its sophisticated water-cooled system.
The BF150J incorporates Honda’s most advanced marine technologies, including VTEC® (Variable Valve Timing & Lift Electronic Control) which provides a broader, flatter torque curve and smooth power delivery throughout the engine’s operating range. Dual Stage Induction maximizes air intake for combustion, while BLAST™ (Boosted Low Speed Torque) delivers explosive acceleration and improved holeshot performance crucial for navigating demanding shallow water conditions.
Perfect for accessing rocky-bottom shallow rivers, white water rapids, and areas with sandbars, the jet drive design completely eliminates propeller strike concerns while maintaining superior thrust and maneuverability. This makes the BF150J ideal for professional fishing guides, search and rescue operations, scientific research vessels, and adventure boaters who need reliable access to extremely shallow or debris-filled waters.
Advanced fuel management comes through Honda’s PGM-FI (Programmed Fuel Injection) system, ensuring optimal performance and fuel efficiency under all operating conditions. Lean Burn Control technology further enhances fuel economy, while the comprehensive 3-Way Cooling system ensures consistent temperature management for long-term durability and reliability in extreme conditions.
The BF150J provides substantial electrical capacity with a 55-amp alternator delivering 40 amps of charging power, sufficient for the most sophisticated electronics packages including multiple fish finders, GPS systems, radar, and communication equipment. NMEA 2000® certification ensures seamless integration with modern marine electronics, while Honda’s comprehensive Corrosion Protection system guards against the harshest marine environments.
The Engine Alert System continuously monitors vital engine functions, providing early warning of potential issues to prevent damage and ensure reliable operation in remote locations. Honda’s Freshwater Flush Port facilitates easy maintenance and corrosion prevention, extending engine life in saltwater applications.
At 511 pounds and 24 inches in overall width, the BF150J is designed for larger specialized shallow water vessels where maximum power and reliability are essential. Whether you’re pursuing fish in skinny water, conducting research in environmentally sensitive areas, or exploring uncharted territories, the BF150J provides the power, reliability, and versatility needed for the most demanding shallow water adventures.
The BF150J excels on technical fishing boats, expedition craft, patrol vessels, and specialized shallow water boats where access to extremely shallow areas is mission-critical. Its combination of high power output and jet drive safety makes it ideal for operations in areas with underwater obstacles, marine life, or environmental restrictions.
Backed by Honda’s industry-leading True 5 limited warranty and supported by Northeast Marine’s expert service network, the BF150J / 105 Jet delivers both the specialized performance and peace of mind that professional operators and serious shallow water enthusiasts demand. This represents the pinnacle of Honda’s jet drive technology, offering unmatched capability for the most challenging marine environments.
