Honda 8 HP Tiller Outboard Motor – BF8 – 2024

Get excellent performance in a lightweight, compact package. Perfect for inflatables, sailboats or as a kicker for larger fishing boats, the BF8 gives you the convenience of the Fold-Down Tiller Handle, the peace of mind of the Engine Alert System and high-output charging, which helps maintain battery charge or keep electronics going.

Features:

• Honda Four-Stroke Engine Design: twin cylinder, in-line, OHC design powerhead
• Electronically controlled monitoring system protects the engine components from over-revving, low engine-oil pressure and overheating
• Pendulum-Motion Vibration Dampening: the pendulum-motion mounting system for the powerhead helps absorb the vibration, including longitudinal vibration, which was difficult to reduce successfully by conventional rubber mounts
• When reversing, the exhaust gases are diverted through additional exhaust relief ports above the cavitation plate, allowing the propeller to back up into clean, bubble-free water, thereby increasing reverse thrust
• A high-quality regulator/rectifier is standard on all models to prevent overcharging the battery
• Fresh Water Flushport: Allows easy hook-up to fresh water supply to flush debris and salt water out of the engine, extending the life of the outboard (optional Flush Kit required)
• Shallow-Water Drive: Allows you to run in shallow water with the engine raised to reduce the risk of damage to the lower gearcase
• Easy to transport, ideal for 10-12 foot fishing boats, inflatables or for auxiliary sail and trolling power
• Forward-Mounted Shift Lever: Allows more control and comfort in shifting
• A simple twist of the throttle friction collar located right at the throttle grip allows you to adjust the throttle tension up or down, minimizing driver fatigue
• A new quick-adjust lever design located just above the transom bracket allows for precise adjustments at your fingertips
• A convenient, foldaway carry handle is situated at the exact horizontal balance point of the engine so that the engine carries more easily in a level position
• Long tiller handle for increased control and reduced steering effort. The tiller handle is also made of a new lightweight composite for increased strength and weight reduction
• A 12-litre (3.2 gal) fuel tank, fuel hose and aluminum propeller are included as standard equipment
