The Honda BF100 outboard motor represents the pinnacle of mid-range marine propulsion, delivering best-of-class performance with technology inspired by Honda’s acclaimed automotive platforms. This sophisticated 4-stroke, 4-cylinder engine produces an impressive 100 horsepower at 5,900 RPM while maintaining the distinction of being one of the lightest motors in its class at just 365 pounds.
Engineered with Honda Fit automobile-inspired technology, the BF100 features a robust 1,496cc displacement engine with a precision-engineered 73 x 89.4mm bore and stroke configuration. Operating smoothly across its 5,500-6,300 RPM range, this motor delivers exceptional power-to-weight performance that sets new standards in the competitive 100-horsepower category.
The BF100 incorporates Honda’s exclusive VTEC® (Variable Valve Timing & Lift Electronic Control) technology, providing a broader, flatter torque curve and smooth power delivery throughout the engine’s operating range. This automotive-derived innovation delivers outstanding performance without the fuel consumption penalties typical of larger displacement competitors. Combined with BLAST™ technology for explosive acceleration and Lean Burn Control for superior fuel efficiency, the BF100 maximizes both performance and economy.
Honda’s advanced Multi-Port Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI) system ensures precise fuel delivery under all operating conditions, resulting in instant throttle response, reliable cold starts, and optimal fuel consumption. The comprehensive 3-Way Cooling System maintains optimal operating temperatures for enhanced durability and longevity, while the high-output alternator provides 44 amps total with 35 amps of charging capacity for marine electronics and accessories.
Built to withstand demanding marine environments, the BF100 features Honda’s comprehensive Corrosion Protection system with multi-layered paint processes, strategic anode placement, and waterproof connectors. NMEA 2000® certification enables seamless integration with modern marine electronics without requiring expensive gateway devices, while the patented Non-Linear Mounting System reduces vibration transfer for smoother operation at all speeds.
Available in both 20-inch and 25-inch shaft configurations with standard power trim and tilt, the BF100 adapts to various transom heights and vessel requirements. The optional multi-function tiller handle provides complete operational control including power trim/tilt switches, reversible shift lever, handle height adjustment, variable trolling control, and engine alert panel for comprehensive fishing and recreational applications.
Whether powering sport fishing boats, family cruisers, or performance vessels, the Honda BF100 delivers the perfect balance of power, efficiency, and reliability that defines Honda Marine’s reputation for excellence. With electric starting, remote steering capability, and advanced engine monitoring systems, this outboard provides professional-grade performance with user-friendly operation, ensuring every boating adventure is both powerful and dependable.
