The Honda BF20D3LH outboard motor represents the perfect balance of power, portability, and convenience for smaller watercraft applications. This 20 HP 4-stroke twin-cylinder engine features Honda’s renowned SOHC design with 350cc displacement, delivering smooth and efficient performance from 5,000 to 6,000 RPM. Built with Honda’s proven automotive engineering heritage, the BF20D3LH is purpose-built to withstand demanding marine conditions while providing exceptional reliability that Honda is known for.

The tiller handle configuration offers direct, intuitive control, making it ideal for fishing boats, smaller center consoles, and recreational craft where hands-on steering is preferred. The 20-inch long shaft length provides optimal compatibility with a wide range of transom heights, ensuring proper propeller depth and performance. Honda’s innovative 3-stage carburetion system provides better fuel efficiency and smoother operation compared to conventional 2-circuit designs, transitioning seamlessly from lean idle to rich full-throttle settings.

Key features include Honda’s easy one-hand starting system that requires only 60% of normal pull effort, thanks to the integrated decompression release and Digital CDI ignition timing. The pendulum mount system absorbs vibration for remarkably smooth operation, while the shallow water drive allows safe operation in skinny water. The comprehensive engine alert system protects against low oil pressure, over-revving, and overheating, ensuring long-term durability.

With a 2.08:1 gear ratio and forward-neutral-reverse shifting, the BF20D3LH provides excellent control in tight quarters. The integrated carrying handle and 110-pound dry weight make transport and installation manageable, while Honda’s corrosion protection system ensures lasting performance in saltwater environments.
