Responsive, smooth and reliable power in a lightweight package. The BF15 is sure to turn heads with the largest alternator in its class. 12 Amps at just 3000 RPM maintains the battery charge and keeps electronics going even at trolling speeds.
The BF15 is ideal for 3-4.5m aluminium and inflatable boats.
As with all Honda outboards, the BF15 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 performance and durability for which Honda is renowned.
Features
Take a Closer Look
4-Front Corrosion Protection
Honda’s patented 4-Front corrosion paint process creates a tight barrier between the engine and environment. This double sealed, multi-layered process helps to keep your engine looking and performing like new.
Power Tilt & Gas Tilt Options
The BF15 is equipped with Power Tilt and Gas Assist Tilt variations - perfect for effortless engine tilt operations and shallow-water running. Cruising is improved and more comfortable with Honda's unique pendulum-motion mounting system. This system is specially designed to reduce vibration and maximise user comfort. A convenient Forward Mount Shift Lever allows fingertip shifting, while a Twist Grip Throttle and Tensioner ensures superior throttle friction, minimising driver fatigue.
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.
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.
PGM Ignition
A reliable microprocessor accurately controls ignition timing during start-up and across the entire RPM range, providing optimum overall operation.
High Output Charging
The large 12 Amp (at 3000 RPM) alternator delivers more power to maintain the battery charge and keep electronics going even at trolling speeds.
Long Tiller Handle and Up-Front Tiller Controls
The BF15 has a convenient longer tiller handle for increased control and reduced steering effort. The handle is made of a 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 BF15 delivers responsive, smooth and reliable power in a lightweight design. It's the #bestbehindyou out on the water.
