The Honda BFP10D3LHT outboard motor delivers Honda’s advanced Power Thrust technology with electric start convenience and power trim/tilt features, providing 60% more thrust in reverse and 15% more thrust in forward compared to standard outboard models. This 4-stroke, 2-cylinder engine combines Honda’s proven automotive engineering heritage with specialized Power Thrust design, delivering exceptional thrust performance and reliability for demanding portable boating applications.
The distinguishing Power Thrust gearcase design features a larger specialized propeller that dramatically improves maneuverability and backing power, making it ideal for boats requiring superior thrust control, challenging docking situations, and enhanced low-speed handling. With its 20-inch shaft length, the BFP10D3LHT accommodates standard transom heights while providing optimal propeller positioning for maximum thrust efficiency across various hull configurations.
Electric start capability backed by Honda’s robust 12-amp charging system ensures reliable ignition and maintains battery power throughout extended boating sessions. The integrated power trim and tilt system allows precise engine positioning for optimal performance, convenient shallow water navigation, and easy out-of-water positioning for storage and transport. This eliminates the need for manual lifting and positioning, making operation more convenient and reducing physical demands on the operator.
The ergonomic tiller handle delivers precise steering control with integrated forward-mount shift lever for fingertip operation between forward, neutral, and reverse gears. The twist-grip throttle features adjustable friction control to minimize operator fatigue during extended outings, while the power trim and tilt controls are conveniently integrated for seamless operation from the tiller position.
Honda’s exclusive pendulum mount system effectively absorbs vibration throughout the entire RPM range, delivering remarkably smooth operation that distinguishes it from competitive portable outboards. The programmed ignition system ensures consistent starts and optimal performance across all operating conditions, while the comprehensive engine alert system monitors critical parameters including oil pressure, temperature, and RPM levels to prevent costly damage.
Built with Honda’s patented corrosion protection system featuring double-sealed multi-layered paint, sacrificial anodes, and marine-grade stainless steel components, the BFP10D3LHT withstands harsh saltwater environments. The efficient 2.33:1 gear ratio is specifically optimized for Power Thrust design, maximizing thrust output while maintaining excellent fuel efficiency.
Additional performance features include reverse exhaust relief for maximum backing thrust, auto start enrichment for effortless cold-weather starting, and shallow water drive capability for confident operation in challenging waters. Whether powering fishing boats requiring superior backing control, utility vessels needing enhanced maneuverability, or recreational craft demanding maximum thrust performance with premium convenience features, the Honda BFP10D3LHT delivers the perfect combination of Power Thrust capability, electric start reliability, and power positioning convenience for standard transom applications.
