PRODUCT DESCRIPTION REVIEWS PRODUCT TAGS Features – RELIABLE, EFFCIENT 4-STROKE DESIGN: World-renowned Honda quality combines proven reliability and superior fuel efficiency, with no oil mixing. – LEGENDARY QUALITY BASED ON HONDA ACCORD AND CRV: By sharing many components with the Honda Accord, and CRV automobiles, the BF135 and BF150 gain years of proven Honda engineering and reliability. – VTEC® – SMOOTH ACCELERATION AND POWER (150hp): Featured on the BF150, Honda’s Variable Valve Timing & Lift Electronic Control (VTEC®) system provides power where and when you need it. VTEC gives you a broader, flatter torque curve and smooth power delivery throughout the engine’s operating range. The result is a superior combination of power, torque and fuel economy. VTEC is the modern replacement for displacement. – DUAL STAGE INDUCTION – BREATHING EASIER IMPROVES PERFORMANCE: Honda’s unique variable intake system optimizes air flow to match the engine’s speed. The result? Maximized combustion efficiency, increased torque, and superb fuel economy. – LEAN BURN CONTROL® – SUPERIOR FUEL EFFICIENCY: Lean Burn Control® increases fuel efficiency by allowing combustion to operate on a leaner air/fuel mixture. At cruising speed, this engine runs on up to 20% less fuel* than others in its class. *Based on EPA Specific Fuel Consumption Mode. – MULTI-PORT PROGRAMMED FUEL INJECTION (PGM-FI) – POWERFUL PERFORMANCE: Programmed Fuel Injection delivers the precise amount of fuel/air to each cylinder. The result is easy starts and instant throttle response with superior fuel efficiency. – DUAL OVERHEAD CAM (DOHC) – HIGH HORSEPOWER, LOW MAINTENANCE: A powerful, compact 24-valve DOHC design creates more valve lift to pull in more air for increased horsepower. Low-maintenance design allows easy adjustment of the rocker arms. No multiple shims or trial-and-error adjusting needed. – NMEA 2000 – ON-BOARD CONNECTIVITY: NMEA 2000 protocols allow engine data to be interfaced with on-board systems and systems displays, such as sonar or GPS. – TRUE 5 WARRANTY: Honda’s True 5 Warranty is the best in the business. This transferable, non-declining warranty is the same on the last day as it is on the first. – SUPERIOR BATTERY CHARGING – MORE USABLE POWER: Honda’s proven “on demand” 51 amp belt-driven alternator reduces heat buildup and provides superior battery charging capability – 30 amps at 1000 RPM and 40 amps above 2000 RPM. – ENGINE ALERT SYSTEM – KEEPS YOU INFORMED: The ECM monitors vital engine functions and prevents engine damage by alerting the operator of: Overheating. Water in Fuel. Low Oil PSI. Battery. Over-Rev. Critical Engine Function. – FISHERMAN FRIENDLY VARIABLE SPEED TROLLING: The BF135 and BF150 offer optional push-button variable speed trolling control. Simply push the toggle switch to adjust the trolling speed in 50 RPM increments from 650 RPM to 1000 RPM. – 4-FRONT CORROSION PROTECTION SYSTEM – FIGHTS THE ELEMENTS: A patented, “Double Sealed” multi-layered paint process. Sacrificial anodes and stainless steel technology, along with waterproof connectors, all enhance corrosion protection. – ENGINE COMMAND MODULE – OPTIMUM PERFORMANCE: The ECM receives constant input from 18 different sensors to deliver instant starts, smooth operation, strong performance and excellent fuel efficiency. – LAF & KNOCK SENSORS – OPTIMUM EFFICIENCY: Linear Air Fuel (LAF) and knock sensors help determine correct fuel flow and ignition curve to maximize performance and fuel efficiency. – COUNTER ROTATION AVAILABLE: Counter rotating models are available for multiple engine applications. These models improve efficiency, hull maneuverability and decreases driver fatigue. – 3-WAY COOLING SYSTEM – COOL RUNNING DURABILITY: Three separate cooling systems keep the cylinder heads running cooler for long-term durability – POSITIVE LUBRICATION – BETTER DURABILITY: A crankshaft-driven, automotive-style trochoid oil pump ensures long-term durability of critical engine components. – CONVENIENT SINGLE LATCH COWL: A single front-mounted latch combines with 4 securing points to ensure a water-tight seal. – SEALED STARTER – PROTECTION FOR LONG LIFE: The starter motor is inverted into a sealed chamber that protects the starter drive from the elements. – FRESH WATER FLUSHPORT: Flushes debris and saltwater out of the engine, extending the life of the outboard. – STAINLESS STEEL COMPONENTS (STEERING ARM, TILT TUBE AND ALL SHAFTS) – CORROSION RESISTANCE: Stainless steel components provide durability with long-term corrosion resistance. – ULTRA LOW 3 STAR CARB EMISSIONS: Environmentally conscious technology. All Honda Marine engines exceed the highest CARB 3-Star rating to meet the rigorous California Air Resource Board’s standards – BUILT-IN PITOT TUBE: Built-in pitot tube in the gear case eliminates the need to drill holes in your boat for installation. – AVAILABLE IN: 20, 25 in.
