Honda's 8HP is perfect for aluminum fishing boats, inflatables, sailboats, or as a "kicker" for larger fishing boats. Attention to details like the pendulum mount, engine alert system and one hand starting design makes this 8HP stand out from the crowd. And because it's a Honda, you can expect long term durability and clean, quiet operation. |

ENGINE FEATURES
|
4-Stroke Design
World-renowned Honda quality combines proven reliability and superior fuel efficiency, with no oil mixing. |
Power Thrust Design (BFP)
A lower 2.33:1 gear ratio combined with a 10" x 6 1/2" Power Thrust 4-blade propeller creates 60% more thrust in reverse and 15% more in forward. The result is improved maneuverability and performance. |
Reverse Exhaust Relief
Additional exhaust relief above the cavitation plate produces more thrust by allowing the prop to run in clean, exhaust-free water. |
Auto Start Enrichment (ASE)
Standard on electric start models, Auto Start Enrichment automatically adjusts the air/fuel mixture for quick and easy starts and warm-ups. |
Easy One Hand Starting
Working together, a built-in decompression release and digital CDI system set the ignition timing during start-up. Greatly reduces the effort required to pull-start the engine by hand! |
PGM Ignition
A reliable microprocessor accurately controls ignition timing during start-up and across the entire RPM range, providing optimum overall operation. |
Positive Lubrication
A crankshaft-driven, automotive-style trochoid oil pump ensures long-term durability of critical engine components. |
High Output Charging
The BF8 provides 2 Amps at 1000 RPM and an amazing 12 amps at only 3000 RPM to maintain the battery charge or keep electronics going even at trolling speeds. |
Lightweight Rounded Design
Easy to transport, BF8 is perfect for small boats, dinghies or auxiliary. The ergonomics look great and won't catch fishing line as easily |
Pendulum Mount System
Honda's exclusive triangulated rubber mount system absorbs vibration and provides unbelievably smooth operation. |
Engine Alert System
The integrated warning system protects the engine from severe damage due to low oil, over-revving and overheating. |
Corrosion Protection System
A patented, "Double Sealed" multi-layered paint process. Sacrificial anodes and stainless steel technology, along with waterproof connectors, all enhance corrosion protection. |
Fresh Water Flushport
Flushes debris and saltwater out of the engine, extending the life of the outboard. |
Longer Tiller Handle
Made of a new lightweight composite, the BF8’s longer tiller handle improves control while reducing steering effort. |
Up Front Tiller Controls
A convenient front-mounted shift lever allows fingertip shifting while a Twist Grip Throttle & Tensioner minimize driver fatigue. |
EZ Steer Friction Control
Unique lever design allows operator to precisely adjust steering tension for improved control and comfort. |
Shallow Water Drive
Allows you to run in shallow water and greatly reduces the risk of engine damage. |
Power Tilt
Conveniently tilts the engine out of the water. |
Integrated Carrying Handle
Situated at the exact top/bottom balance point of the engine, the BF8’s integrated carrying handle make transporting it a breeze. |
Ultra Low 3 Star Carb Emissions
Environmentally friendly technology. |
