BF2.3
When you get going, you’ll be surprised at how much fun the tiniest Honda can generate.
Unlike a 2-stroke engine, these 4-strokes are so quiet. They’re also more efficient, and there’s no mixing of oil and petrol, which is bad for the environment. So as you accelerate away to the middle of a lake, up a river or around the coastline at sea, you know that the clean water you’re cutting through stays that way.
It has the latest technology that accurately controls the ignition timing, so when you start – even from cold – the air-cooled BF2.3 will never let you down.
It can build more solid torque to move heavier craft if required. It’s simple to operate, easy to keep clean and needs minimum maintenance. Add Honda reliability, superior fuel efficiency and low emissions, and you’ve got all you need to start out on the water.

Key Features

Twist and Go
A centrifugal clutch allows the engine to idle without turning the propeller blades. When you want to go, just roll on the power, and the clutch will engage and drive the propeller.

Throttle Control
The twist grip feels remarkably smooth, and comes with a throttle tensioner, which allows you to fix the throttle position – like cruise control – so you can relax your hand and just steer.

Pick Up and Go
The BF2.3 engine is the lightest in its class and is so easy to pick up. It’s easy to carry too, with an ergonomic handle positioned at the exact point of balance to allow you to walk normally without feeling any strain.

Round and Round
To change direction quickly, the little BF2.3 has a quick swiveling action; perfect for reversing with no gear changing. Just swing the tiller handle through 180˚ and the boat goes backwards. You’ll be able to manoeuvre around a harbour’s tight spots with ease.
Warranty
6 Year Limited Warranty (Pleasure use only), there’s a simple reason why you see so many older Honda Marine products still hard at work: they’re built better to last longer.
This is supported by the longest and most comprehensive guarantees you’ll find anywhere. For example, every one of our outboard engines is backed with an industry leading 6 year domestic warranty (and 2 year warranty for commercial users), covering both parts and labour.
