Honda
BF8 – BF10
THEY’VE GOT PUNCH
Plenty of it too. And with a reputation built on reliability, superior fuel-efficiency and low emissions, your boat isn’t complete without one.
Overview
These light 4-stroke engines are easy to get going, and feature Programmed Ignition (PGM IG) so when you start your Honda – even from cold – it will never let you down.
They’ve got power
With electric start engines it’s so important to keep your battery in good condition so that they stay reliable. And if you have electrically powered instruments on board, the high-output charging coil maintains top level charging to keep everything working – even at trolling speeds. The standard four-blade propeller transfers the power through a slim hydrodynamic gear case straight into the water.
With its stunning silver finish you’ll see right away it’s a Honda.
Fixed to the back of the boat and in the water, it looks great as the surrounding colours are reflected in the finish. Sleek design and sculpted lines run all the way down to the super-slim hydrodynamic gear case, meaning less drag and better fuel economy when you’re really going for it.
Foldaway handles
The BF8 and BF10 have foldaway handles built-in, positioned exactly on the point of balance to make them really easy to transport – even carrying them around they look fantastic.

Key Features
Easy Starter
Both engines have a decompression system for easy starting. This makes the engine much easier to turn over with that initial pull if you have the manual recoil type, and less of a drain on your battery if you have an electric starter.
Remote Control
Both engines are available with an ergonomic and responsive remote control.
Easy Astern
In forward motion (A) the propeller will drive normally through water, but in reverse it’s a different story – unless you have a Honda. On other outboards, the propeller will turn in exhaust bubbles and wont ‘hook up’ with the water. Our unique reverse exhaust relief system directs the exhaust bubbles away from the propeller (B), so that it can ‘grip’ the water – instead of air. The result is instant reverse response with much finer control.
Easy On Your Wrist
Both engines have a Forward Mount Shift Lever for fingertip gear changing. It’s so much easier to operate and better located than on other outboards, whether you’re left or right-handed. Together with a soft-grip throttle handle and a twist-lock, it’s effortless. You can just roll on and off the power all day long (B), or lock it off (A) – just like cruise control.
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.
