The Honda BF200 outboard motor represents the entry point into Honda’s premium V6 Large Engine Series, delivering exceptional 200-horsepower performance through Honda’s proven 60-degree V6 engine architecture. This sophisticated 4-stroke powerplant features a robust 3,583cc displacement with precision-engineered 89 x 96mm bore and stroke specifications, producing peak power of 200 horsepower at 5,500 RPM across its comprehensive 5,000-6,000 RPM operating range.
Built upon Honda’s acclaimed V6 platform that has earned industry recognition for innovation and reliability, the BF200 incorporates advanced automotive technologies tested extensively on racetracks and roadways worldwide. The narrow 60-degree V6 design maximizes power density while maintaining compact dimensions and optimal weight distribution for superior boat handling characteristics.
The BF200 features Honda’s exclusive BLAST™ (Boosted Low Speed Torque) technology, which aggressively advances the ignition curve for dramatically improved hole shots and reduced time to plane. Combined with sophisticated Lean Burn Control that optimizes combustion efficiency, this motor delivers outstanding performance while maintaining exceptional fuel economy throughout its operating range.
Honda’s innovative AMP+® (Automatic Idle Speed Control) system automatically increases engine speed by 100 RPM when electrical loads demand additional amperage, producing an extra 9 amps to prevent battery drain during electronics-intensive operations. The high-output alternator generates an impressive 90 amps total with 60 amps of charging capacity, easily supporting the most demanding marine electronics and accessory loads.
The advanced Multi-Port Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI) system delivers precise fuel metering under all operating conditions, ensuring instant throttle response, reliable starts in all weather conditions, and optimal fuel consumption. The innovative Dual Air Circuits system routes cool air directly to critical engine components while delivering optimized airflow to the throttle body for maximum power output.
Available with both traditional mechanical controls and Honda’s cutting-edge iST® (Intelligent Shift and Throttle) drive-by-wire system, the BF200 offers maximum installation flexibility and operational precision. The iST® system provides superb control with seamless integration capabilities, including compatibility with third-party joystick systems for enhanced maneuverability and precision docking.
Engineered for durability in demanding marine environments, the BF200 incorporates Honda’s comprehensive Corrosion Protection system with four strategically placed anodes, multi-layer bolt coatings, and advanced paint processes. 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, the BF200 adapts to diverse vessel requirements. Whether powering sport fishing boats, family cruisers, or commercial vessels, the Honda BF200 delivers the perfect combination of V6 power, advanced technology, and Honda’s legendary reliability for professional-grade marine propulsion.
