The Honda BF15D3SHT outboard motor delivers exceptional versatility and convenience for smaller watercraft with its advanced tiller handle design and integrated power trim/tilt system. This 15 HP 4-stroke twin-cylinder engine features Honda’s proven SOHC design with 350cc displacement, generating smooth power from 4,500 to 5,500 RPM while maintaining outstanding fuel efficiency without oil mixing requirements.
Built on Honda’s renowned engineering heritage, the BF15D3SHT incorporates proven technology designed to withstand demanding marine conditions while delivering the reliability Honda is known for. The 15-inch short shaft configuration makes it ideal for smaller boats, jon boats, and fishing skiffs with standard transom heights, ensuring optimal propeller positioning and performance.
The standout feature of this model is the power trim/tilt system, offering four-stage trim adjustment (8°-12°-16°-20°) and 72° tilt range, providing precise boat attitude control for maximum performance and handling. This premium feature, typically found on larger outboards, allows operators to optimize performance across varying load conditions and sea states while enabling easy shallow water operation and engine protection.
Honda’s innovative 3-stage carburetion system delivers superior fuel efficiency and smoother operation compared to conventional two-circuit designs, providing optimal air-fuel mixture throughout the RPM range. The longer lightweight composite tiller handle features convenient up-front controls including the forward-mount shift lever, twist grip throttle with tensioner, and power trim/tilt switch, putting all essential functions at your fingertips.
Additional convenience features include easy one-hand starting that requires only 60% of normal pull effort, thanks to the built-in decompression release and Digital CDI ignition system. The high-output 12-amp charging system maintains battery power even at trolling speeds, while the comprehensive engine alert system protects against low oil pressure, overheating, and over-revving.
The BF15D3SHT includes a complete package with fuel line, propeller, 3-gallon fuel tank, and battery charging cord. Honda’s corrosion protection system and reverse exhaust relief ensure long-term durability and enhanced reverse thrust performance. Whether you’re fishing in shallow waters or cruising coastal areas, the Honda BF15D3SHT outboard provides the perfect combination of power, control, and convenience that tiller steering enthusiasts demand.
