Details & Inspection Notes
Model BF8DK3LHSA runs a Honda rating of 8 HP. New for 2017, it carries a 20-inch shaft, electric start, with a manual backup. Built for one-person lifting and mounting, not a crane to step it.
Matching the shaft
This motor runs a 20-inch shaft, labeled long by Honda. Check that against your own transom measurement before ordering.
Tiller control
This is a tiller-steered motor. Full throttle operation runs 4500-5500 rpm here. It carries CARB's 3-star emissions rating. It's fine running in saltwater.
Gear shift is forward, neutral, reverse. Wet-sump lubrication here takes FC-W 10W-30 oil.
Displacement is 222cc on this one. It runs on 86 octane unleaded.
As a kicker or primary motor on a small boat, low weight and simple tiller control matter more than raw speed.
After a day on the water, flushing and rinsing it down helps the whole motor last longer.
It's an easy engine to live with, not a project motor. Finding routine parts for this engine isn't , overall, a hassle.
For twin-mount buyers: confirm propeller rotation with us first. Fresh gas now saves a rough restart later.
It's backed by the 5-year Honda warranty.
