Details & Inspection Notes
Electric start and power tilt come standard on the 2017 BF20D3SHT, on a 15-inch short shaft with tiller steering. Ignition runs through Honda's PGM system on a 350cc, two-cylinder block, cooled by circulating water, drawing 86-octane unleaded fuel through a carburetor from a 3.2-gallon tank, with full throttle sitting in a 5000-to-6000 rpm window and a 12-amp alternator supporting the added electrics.
What to confirm
Whether a manual pull-cord backup rides alongside the electric starter on this particular unit isn't settled; confirm that with us before ordering if it matters to you. Fifteen inches is the short-shaft choice in this family, meant for a shallower transom than the 20-inch long-shaft build needs.
Features built into this engine
EZ Steer friction control lets you dial in tiller resistance, auto start enrichment simplifies starting in cold weather, and shallow water drive lets the gear case tilt up in thin water, with wet-sump lubrication running FC-W 10W-30 oil. The 12-amp, 151-watt alternator leaves more headroom for onboard electronics than the 6-amp unit on this family's manual-start models.
Common questions
Is it safe to run in saltwater? Yes. Does it charge a battery while running? Yes, through the 12-amp alternator. What gear ratio does it run? 2.08:1, shifting forward, neutral, and reverse.
