4-Stroke Design
World-renowned Honda quality combines proven reliability and superior fuel efficiency, with no oil mixing. |
Power Thrust Design (BFP)
The 10" x 75/8" Power Thrust 4-blade propeller creates 60% more thrust in reverse and 15% more in forward. The result-improved maneuverability and performance. |
Reverse Exhaust Relief
Additional exhaust relief above the cavitation plate allows the prop to run in clean, exhaust-free water, producing more thrust. |
Large Displacement
At 21.4 cubic inches the 20HP has the largest displacement in its class! Along with the long-stroke design, this provides optimum torque throughout the RPM range. |
Lightweight Design
The 20HP is the lightest 4-stroke model in its class, allowing easy transport and convenient mounting to the hull. |
Easy One Hand Starting
Working together, a built-in decompression release and Digital CDI system set the ignition timing during start-up. Only 60% of normal the effort is required to pull-start the engine by hand! |
Power Tilt
Conveniently allows user to tilt the unit out of the water. At low speeds acts like a power shallow-water-drive device, permitting access to the shallow water areas. |
High Output Charging
Largest alternator in its class! 12 Amps at only 3000 RPM maintain the battery charge and keep electronics going, even at trolling speeds. |
Auto Start Enrichment
On electric start models, automatically adjusts the air-fuel mixture for quick, easy starting and warm-up. |
Pendulum Mount System
Honda's exclusive triangulated rubber mount system absorbs vibration and provides unbelievably smooth operation. |
Integrated Carring Handle
A convenient, foldaway carry handle is situated at the exact top/bottom balance point of the engine, so that the engine carries more easily in a level position. |
3 Stage Carburetion
While conventional 2-circuit carburetors go directly from a lean mixture at idle to a rich setting at full throttle, the BF15/20 adds a third middle stage for better economy and smoother, stronger operation. |
PGM Ignition
A reliable microprocessor accurately controls ignition timing during start-up and across the entire RPM range, providing optimum overall operation. |
Engine Alert System
The integrated warning system protects the engine from severe damage due to low oil, over-revving and overheating. |
Corrosion Protection System
A patented, "Double Sealed" multi-layered paint process. Sacrificial anodes and stainless steel technology, along with waterproof connectors, all enhance corrosion protection. |
Fresh Water Flushport
Flushes debris and saltwater out of the engine, extending the life of the outboard. |
Longer Tiller Handle
The 20HPs have convenient longer tiller handles for increased control and reduced steering effort. The extended handle is made of a new lightweight composite for increased durability and weight reduction. |
Up Front Tiller Controls
The convenient Forward Mount Shift Lever allows fingertip shifting. Twist Grip Throttle & Tensioner allows for superior throttle friction control, minimizing driver fatigue. |
EZ Steer Friction Control
Unique lever design allows operator to precisely adjust steering tension for improved control and comfort. |
Shallow Water Drive
On manual models allows you to run in shallow water and greatly reduces the risk of engine damage. |
Positive Lubrication
A crankshaft-driven, automotive-style trochoid oil pump ensures critical engine component long-term durability. |
Ultra Low 3 Star Carb Emissions
Cleanest technology available. |
