Honda BF8 8HP 4-Stroke Portable Outboard Motor (20 in. Long Shaft)

Product Overview

The Honda BF8 8HP 4-Stroke Portable Outboard Motor provides reliable, fuel-efficient marine propulsion tailored for 12-to-16-foot aluminum fishing boats, tenders, inflatables, and small sailboats. Driven by a 222cc 2-cylinder SOHC marine engine rated at 8 horsepower at 5,000 RPM, this outboard brings together precision mechanical performance and a highly portable design, maintaining a dry weight of just 98 lbs.

Engineered with an integrated Auto Start Enrichment system, the BF8 automatically regulates the fuel-to-air ratio during cold start-ups, eliminating the need for manual choking. The engine relies on an optimized one-hand manual recoil start paired with PGM Digital Ignition to maintain stable timing across all throttle ranges. Designed with a high-output 6-Amp charging alternator, the motor continuously supplies 2 Amps of electrical current even at low trolling speeds, keeping onboard electronics operational and auxiliary batteries properly charged.

Key Features & Benefits

• Auto Start Enrichment: Removes manual choke inputs by mechanically adjusting the fuel mixture for smooth, rapid cold-engine starts.

• Low-Vibration Pendulum Mount System: Minimizes structural vibration transferred to the boat hull using heavy-duty rubber engine mounts, delivering a smooth ride at any speed.

• Low-Depth Shallow Water Drive: Features a dedicated mechanical lift system that tilts the outboard upward, safeguarding the propeller and lower unit when navigating shoals or shallow coastal zones.

• 4-Front Corrosion Protection: Utilizes a multi-layered paint process alongside specialized sacrificial anodes to resist harsh saltwater environments.

• Snag-Resistant Marine Design: Built with an aerodynamic, rounded engine cowl structure designed to prevent fishing lines and nets from catching or tangling on the motor housing.

• Enhanced Portability: Outfitted with an integrated, foldaway carrying handle centered perfectly over the engine’s center of gravity to streamline transport and mounting.
