Details & Inspection Notes
The BF8DK3LHA from Honda is rated at 8 HP, freshened for 2017. The shaft here is 20-inch, rope-pull starting. Built for small-boat use, not a big rig that needs a remote helm.
Shaft length and mounting
This motor carries a 20-inch shaft, which Honda labels long. Compare that to your transom's height before you buy.
At the controls
Steering is by tiller. This one tops out 4500-5500 rpm at full throttle. Honda gives it a 3-star CARB rating. It's built rated for saltwater use.
Shift pattern: forward, neutral, reverse. Lubrication is wet-sump, on FC-W 10W-30 oil.
Displacement comes in at 222cc. Honda calls for 86 octane unleaded.
Mounted as a kicker or the main motor, simple controls beat a complicated remote-steer setup.
After each trip in salt or brackish water, flush it and rinse off the exterior to slow down corrosion over time.
Simple and serviceable describes this engine well. Finding routine parts for this engine isn't a hassle.
For mounting a pair? confirm rotation with us before ordering. Run fresh gas and drain the carburetor before storage.
It ships with a 5-year warranty.
