BF150

Performance and Efficiency

New Intuitive iST® Drive-by-Wire Engine System

The BF150’s new iST® drive-by-wire system offers intuitive, precision-based technology that replaces mechanical cables with electronic controls, providing superb control and plug-and-play installation. The system offers all the features boaters are looking for, including control of multiple engines and two control stations, effortless shift and throttle control, fine tuning of throttle settings at any speed, virtual positioning and anchoring, enhanced docking and slow speed control, return-to-port capability, and simple, easy-to-understand user interface.

Four-Stroke Design

World-renowned Honda quality combines proven reliability and superior fuel efficiency, with no oil mixing.

VTEC^®

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

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^®

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.

BLAST^® System

Boosted Low Speed Torque, or BLAST^®, improves acceleration at low speeds. A quick movement of the throttle control activates the BLAST® system, advancing the ignition curve aggressively. "Hole Shot" is vastly improved as more horsepower gets the hull up on plane quicker.

Dual Overhead CAM (DOHC)

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.

Engine Command

The ECM receives constant input from 18 different sensors to deliver instant starts, smooth operation, strong performance and excellent fuel efficiency.

LAF & Knock Sensors

Linear Air Fuel (LAF) and knock sensors help determine correct fuel flow and ignition curve to maximize performance and fuel efficiency.

Multi-Port Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI^®)

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.

Non-Linear Mounting System

Patented non-linear rubber mounts provide smoother operation at all engine speeds.

Counter Rotation

Counter rotating models are available for multiple engine applications. These models improve efficiency, hull manoeuvrability and decreases driver fatigue.

Reliability and Durability

Based on Honda Accord and CR-V

By sharing many components with the Honda Accord and CR-V automobiles, the BF150 gains years of proven Honda engineering and reliability.

Three-Way Cooling System

Three separate cooling systems keep the cylinder heads running cooler for long-term durability. Learn more

Engine Alert System

The ECM monitors vital engine functions and prevents engine damage by alerting the operator of:

• Overheating

• Water in Fuel

• Low Oil Pressure

• Battery

• Over-Rev

• Critical Engine Function

Positive Lubrication

A crankshaft-driven, automotive-style trochoid oil pump ensures long-term durability of critical engine components.

Single Latch Cowl

A single front-mounted latch combines with 4 securing points to ensure a water-tight seal.

Sealed Starter

The starter motor is inverted into a sealed chamber that protects the starter drive from the elements.

Four-Front Corrosion Protection

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.

Stainless Steel (Steering Arm, Tilt Tube and All Shafts)

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.

Excellent Warranty

The BF150 Honda outboards carry a full, three-year, non-declining, manufacturer's warranty (parts and labour).

Convenience and Ease of Use

Superior Battery Charging

Honda's proven "on demand" 51 amps belt-driven alternator reduces heat buildup and provides superior battery charging capability – 30 amps at 1,000 rpm and 40+ amps above 2,000 rpm.

Built-In Pitot Tube

Built-in pitot tube in the gear case eliminates the need to drill holes in your boat for installation.
