Description
And that’s especially true with Honda’s BF2.3, one of the world’s lightest four-stroke outboards. The BF2.3 is so light, it rivals many two-stroke 2HP engines and electric motors, without the battery!
But just because it’s lightweight doesn’t mean we cut back on the power. The BF2.3 features 15% more power over its predecessor. Plus we added a 12% larger internal gas tank, which provides for about one hour of operation at wide open throttle. It’s a technologically advanced design that gives you power and performance – without sacrificing portability.
Key Features
- Lightweight and Compact: The BF2.3 is incredibly light and easy to transport. Weighing less than 30 pounds, it's the ideal engine for dinghys, car-toppers and other types of small boats.
- Easy to Carry and Install: A front mounted carrying handle provides superior portability and ease of installation.
- More Power - Without Sacrificing Portability: With 15% more horsepower over its predecessor, this ultra light weight powerhouse produces surprising speed and maneuverability.
- Centrifugal Clutch - Better Performance: The centrifugal clutch maintains a smooth idle and when advanced, automatically engages the prop above idle speed. It's like having a neutral position.
- Precise Throttle Control: A twist grip throttle allows for precise throttle control. The throttle tensioner minimizes driver fatigue.
- 360° Swivel Steering - Added Manueverability: Provides excellent maneuverability in tight areas as well as full thrust in reverse (at 180°).
- Convenient Fold Down Tiller: The BF2.3's tiller folds up or down for easy stowing.
- Steering Friction Adjustment: Allows you to adjust steering tension for ease in maneuverability.
- Adjustable Trim: Four manual settings ensure proper trim angle for maximum performance.
- Easy Starting: The maintenance free transistor ignition offers high-energy output for quick and easy starts.
- Internal Fuel Tank - Easier Portability: With 12% more capacity over its predecessor, the BF2.3 now runs up to 60 minutes at full throttle on a tank of fuel. The internal tank facilitates easy removal and portability as a single unit.
- Easy Maintenance: The BF2.3 offers a convenient oil fill and drain. A carburetor drain screw allows quick and easy draining of the carburetor's float bowl for extended storage periods.
- Sheer and Cotter Pin Keeper: The self-contained keeper stores two extra sets of cotter and sheer pins close at hand, so you'll be prepared if and when you need them.
- Dual Lockable Transom Clamps: Provides extra security when mounted to the transom.
- True 5 Warranty - Unmatched Peace of Mind: Honda's True 5 Warranty is the best in the business. This transferable, non-declining warranty is the same on the first day as it is on the last.
- Forced Air Cooled Engine - No Water Pump Worries: The air-cooled block eliminates concern over clogged water pumps and debris being sucked into the powerhead, as well as reducing maintenance.
- 4-Front Corrosion Protection System - Fights the Elements: A patented, "Double Sealed" multi-layered paint process, sacrificial anodes, stainless steel technology, and waterproof connectors enhance corrosion protection.
