Honda BF 20
The lightest 20 HP four-stroke outboard in its class, engineered to remain surprisingly portable despite its impressive output. Proven PGM-IG electronic fuel management – borrowed from higher-horsepower models – delivers the optimal air-fuel mixture at any speed, making it significantly more economical than conventional carburetted designs. The 350 cc twin-cylinder powerhead boasts the largest displacement in its class, producing outstanding torque across the full RPM range. A pendulum-mounted engine cowl provides virtually vibration-free cruising. Multiple electronic safeguards – oil-pressure monitoring, overheat detection and over-rev protection – keep the engine safe under all conditions. Available with tiller or remote steering, recoil or electric start, short or long shaft, and even an optional power-tilt version. The optional Power Thrust propeller kit delivers 60% more thrust in reverse and 15% more forward – ideal for heavier hulls and demanding manoeuvring.
Available configurations
Every Honda outboard is available in multiple configurations. Shaft length is matched to the boat's transom height, while steering and start type can be chosen to suit your needs.
