| Honda Marine - Exceptional Technology
for the best boating |
Less Noise
There's a lot to be said for outboard innovation. Fortunately, you
don't need a loud engine to say it. Honda engines are remarkably quiet
at any speed, and at low speeds you an hardly hear them running. Each
high-power model is equipped with a large-capacity air intake silencer
to reduce high frequency noise. For low and mid power ranes, you'll
take advantage of underwater or through-propeller hub exhaust. |
Uncompromised performance
Every Honda outboard engine integrates the most effective system and
technologies for their power range, so you get unrivalled speed and
acceleration no matter what size engine you use, at any rpm.
Honda's VTEC valve timing system provides maximum cruising performance
for BF225 users, while low to mid size users get to take advantage
of significantly higher engine displacement for increased power and
torque, even at low revs. |
A smarter solution for our environment
Honda is devoted to providing marine adventurers with the tools to
help protect the environment, as well as to enjoy it, with no compromise
to performance. In 1964, we pioneered new innovation in 4-stroke technology,
which is now largely recognised as the most effective way to reduce
harmful engine exhaust emissions.

Smooth Operation
Your engine operation should be as calm as your surroundings. That's
why Honda's high power outboards integrate an inverted flywheel at
the base of the powerhead. This lowers the centre of gravity to greatly
reduce vibration and provide smooth handling.
The two cylinder engines incorporate Honda's exclusive Pendulum-Motion
mount system, which absorbs engine vibrations without using a balancer
shaft - an innovative solution to reduce the weight of small outboard
engines. |
Low fuel consumption
4-stroke technology ensures low fuel consumption without compromising
maximum performance. It offers much higher fuel efficiency than 2-strokes
- throughout the rpm range. By comparison, Honda 4-stroke engines
comsume about 50% less fuel than conventional 2-strokes and at the
same time eliminate harmful exhaust emissions. |
Complete security
For absolute reliability, Honda engines come with a complete range
of security features, including oil presure and overheating alert
systems. Even more importantly, your junior operators will have all
the tools they need to head out to sea with confidence. With neutral
gear or start-in-gear protection and an emergency kill switch that
attaches to the operator's wrist, Honda increases both your confidence
and theirs. |
Anti-corrosion protection
There's much more than simply great cosmetic appearance behind that
metallic silver finish. Each Honda engine undergoes a vigorous 4-stage
coating for protection against harsh conditions, like ultraviolet
rays and extensive saltwater exposure. First, the double base, followed
by the epoxy primer undercoat, the acrylic silver metallic paint and
finally the acrylic resin clear undercoat. With Honda, complete durability
means applying innovation at every level. |
