Dependable performance in a compact engine. Trust the BF10. Offering very low fuel consumption and maintenance costs, while delivering optimum performance and reliability. At just 42kg, the BF10 is one of the lightest four-stroke engines in its class. A foldaway handle perfectly situated at the balance point of the engine means easy transportation in a level position.
The BF10 is perfect for sailboats, inflatables and small aluminium boats.
As with all Honda outboards, the BF10 boasts all the benefits of Honda's advanced four-stroke technology, like unparalleled easy starting, quiet operation and low emissions. Offering low fuel consumption and maintenance costs, in addition to the high performance and durability for which Honda is renowned.
Features
Take a Closer Look
4-Front Corrosion Protection
Every Honda engine undergoes an exclusive four-stage coating process for protection against harsh conditions like ultraviolet rays and saltwater exposure. A double-sealed anodising treatment is applied to the aluminium alloy base, followed by the epoxy primer undercoat, acrylic aqua marine silver paint, and finally, the acrylic resin topcoat.
Easy One Hand Starting
Working together, a built-in decompression release and Digital CDI system set the ignition timing during start-up. Just 60% of the normal effort is required to pull-start the engine by hand! Electric-start models offer Auto Start Enrichment which automatically adjusts the air/fuel mixture for an even quicker, easy starting and warm-up operation. The PGM Ignition (where a reliable microprocessor accurately controls ignition timing during start-up and across the entire RPM range) provides optimum overall operation.
Reverse Exhaust Relief
Exhaust gases are diverted away from the propeller while in reverse, allowing the propeller to run in clean water. Delivering instant reverse response and much finer control.
Fresh Water Flushing
The Fresh Water Flush point flushes debris and saltwater out of the engine, extending the life of the outboard.
Engine Protection and Security
Alert systems monitor critical engine functions including engine temperature and oil pressure, to prevent engine damage.
Low Vibration Mounting System
Honda's rubber mounts provide smoother operation at all speeds, with reduced vibration and noise.
High Output Charging
The large 12 Amp on the electric start model (or 6 Amps on manual start) alternator delivers more power to maintain the battery charge and keep electronics going even at trolling speeds.
Foldaway Handle
The convenient foldaway handle positioned at the exact balance point of each engine makes it easy to carry the outboard in a level position.
Long Tiller Handle and Up-Front Tiller Controls
The BF10 has a convenient longer tiller handle for increased control and reduced steering effort. Made of a new lightweight composite for increased durability and weight reduction. The convenient Forward Mount Shift Lever allows fingertip shifting. Twist Grip Throttle and Tensioner allows for superior throttle friction control, minimising driver fatigue.
Honda's advanced 4-stroke technology ensures the BF10 delivers responsive, smooth and reliable power in a lightweight design. It's the #bestbehindyou out on the water.
