The Honda BF60A1LRT represents Honda’s refined mid-range outboard engineering, delivering robust 60 horsepower through a sophisticated 3-cylinder SOHC 16-valve engine designed for diverse marine applications. The 20″ long shaft configuration makes this outboard ideal for a wide range of vessels including bass boats, bay boats, and center consoles with standard transom heights, providing optimal propeller positioning for enhanced performance and efficiency.
This mechanical steering model features Honda’s smooth-operating traditional command and control system, providing experienced boaters with direct mechanical linkage that’s compatible with most repower applications and existing steering systems. The power trim and tilt system provides convenient adjustment capabilities for optimal performance across varying speeds and load conditions, while the standard 2.07:1 gear ratio delivers balanced performance for general boating applications.
Built upon Honda’s proven marine engineering foundation, the BF60A1LRT features Honda’s advanced PGM-FI fuel injection system, delivering precise fuel and air mixture to each cylinder for easy starts, instant throttle response, and superior fuel efficiency. The innovative BLAST™ technology aggressively advances ignition timing for dramatically improved hole shots and acceleration, while Lean Burn Control technology delivers exceptional fuel efficiency by optimizing the air-fuel mixture during cruising speeds, running 10% more efficiently than competitive engines in its class.
Honda’s legendary reliability shines through with consistent performance and dependable operation, ensuring optimal fuel delivery in all conditions while meeting stringent emission standards. The robust 22-amp alternator provides reliable charging power, delivering 17 amps of charging power to keep onboard electronics operational – nearly twice the charging capability of competitive models.
The lightweight Mikuni intake system helps build low-end torque for excellent acceleration, while the high-performance gearcase reduces drag, eliminates hull porpoising, and minimizes spray for increased acceleration and top speed. At just 239 pounds, the BF60A1LRT is among the lightest engines in its class, making it perfect for aluminum boats, inflatables, and flats boats where weight matters.
The classic Aquamarine Silver finish provides excellent corrosion resistance while maintaining Honda’s distinctive marine aesthetic. Standard features include variable speed trolling control with push-button operation in 50 RPM increments, NMEA 2000® certification for seamless electronics integration, built-in speedometer pickup, freshwater flush port, and Honda’s comprehensive corrosion protection system featuring multiple anodes and specialized marine coatings designed to withstand harsh saltwater environments.
Perfect for bass boats, bay boats, and center consoles requiring 20″ shaft length with traditional mechanical controls and power trim/tilt, the Honda BF60A1LRT combines proven 3-cylinder reliability with advanced fuel injection technology and mechanical steering precision, delivering the versatile performance that recreational boaters demand for their marine adventures where traditional control reliability and proven operation are valued.
