The Honda BF150 outboard motor stands as the flagship of Honda’s high-performance Large Engine Series, delivering exceptional 150-horsepower output through cutting-edge automotive-inspired engineering. This completely reengineered and redesigned 4-stroke, DOHC (Dual Overhead Cam) engine features an advanced 4-cylinder, 16-valve configuration that produces peak power of 150 horsepower at 5,500 RPM across its comprehensive 5,000-6,000 RPM operating range.
Built upon Honda’s proven 2,354cc displacement platform with precision-engineered 87 x 99mm bore and stroke specifications, the BF150 incorporates decades of automotive technology development tested on racetracks and roadways worldwide. The sophisticated 16-valve Dual Overhead Cam configuration maximizes high-RPM power delivery while maintaining exceptional fuel efficiency and remarkably smooth operation throughout the entire power spectrum.
The BF150 features Honda’s exclusive VTEC® (Variable Valve Timing & Lift Electronic Control) technology, delivering power precisely where and when needed through a broader, flatter torque curve and seamless power delivery throughout the engine’s operating range. Combined with advanced Dual Stage Induction that maximizes air intake for optimal combustion efficiency, this motor provides outstanding performance without compromising fuel economy.
Honda’s innovative BLAST™ (Boosted Low Speed Torque) technology aggressively advances the ignition curve for dramatically improved hole shots and reduced time to plane. The sophisticated Lean Burn Control system enhances best-in-class fuel economy, while the comprehensive 3-Way Cooling System ensures optimal thermal management for consistent performance and long-term durability.
The advanced Multi-Port Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI) system delivers precise fuel metering under all operating conditions, ensuring instant throttle response, reliable cold-weather starts, and optimal fuel consumption. The high-output alternator generates an impressive 55 amps total with 40 amps of charging capacity, easily supporting the most demanding marine electronics and accessory loads.
Available with both traditional mechanical controls and Honda’s cutting-edge iST® (Intelligent Shift and Throttle) drive-by-wire system, the BF150 offers maximum installation flexibility and control precision. The iST® system provides superb operational control with seamless integration capabilities, including compatibility with third-party joystick systems for enhanced maneuverability and docking precision.
Engineered to withstand the most demanding marine environments, the BF150 incorporates Honda’s comprehensive Corrosion Protection system with multi-layered coatings, strategic anode placement, and waterproof connections. NMEA 2000® certification enables direct integration with modern marine electronics, while advanced engine monitoring provides real-time performance data and comprehensive diagnostic capabilities.
Available in both 20-inch and 25-inch shaft configurations with standard power trim and tilt, including counter-rotation models, the BF150 adapts to diverse vessel requirements and installation needs. Whether powering sport fishing boats, family cruisers, or high-performance vessels, the Honda BF150 represents the ultimate fusion of power, technology, and Honda’s legendary reliability.
