Just lift them on, and you're off

BF8 - BF10 engines are light, compact and their foldaway handles make them ultra-portable. They’re perfect for inflatables, dinghies and skiffs; and they make great ‘kicker’ motors for larger fishing vessels and sailboats.

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.

With the smooth action throttle twist-grip, you can effortlessly roll on and off the power all day long.

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.

Distinctive features

With its stunning silver finish you’ll see right away it’s a Honda.

The stunning silver finish reflects the colours of its marine surroundings.

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.

A watertight warranty

Like our engines, a Honda warranty is the best you can get.

Underneath that classy silver finish are four layers of Honda's exclusive corrosion protection.

The reason is clear: better salt water protection through better anti-corrosion technology and better servicing with specially trained Honda technicians. Every Honda Marine customer has the support of a domestic or professional warranty, as long as you stick to the service schedule. It will maintain the same value throughout its warranty period. That means your last day of cover is as good as your first. We think that’s pretty unbeatable too.

Four lines of defence

We first anodise the aluminium casing with our patented ‘Double Seal’ process. Then an epoxy primer is applied before the shimmering silver paint and for further protection from UV rays, we apply a clear resin topcoat to finish. Just to make double sure, a sacrificial anode is fitted and all connectors are waterproof. Corrosion doesn’t stand a chance.
