2020 Honda Marine BF2.3 S Type
The best things come in small packages.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.
Features may include:
Reliable, efficient 4-stroke design- World-renowned Honda quality combines proven reliability and superior fuel efficiency, with no oil mixing.
More power - without sacrificing portability- With 15% more horsepower over its predecessor, this ultra light weight powerhouse produces surprising speed and maneuverability.
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.
Precise Throttle Control- A twist grip throttle allows for precise throttle control. The throttle tensioner minimizes driver fatigue.
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.
