Details & Inspection Notes
The 2018 BF8DK3LHA runs the same 8 HP, two-cylinder, 222cc Japan-built four-stroke as its later model year, on a 20-inch long shaft with tiller steering and manual pull-start. SKU BF8DK3LHA-18.
Ignition and charging on this one
PGM-IG ignition paired with a SOHC, two-valve head pushes this block to a 4500-5500 rpm full-throttle ceiling, fed from a 3.0-gallon tank through a quick-connect line. A 76-watt alternator is built in standard rather than offered as an upgrade. Saltwater rated and geared 2.33-to-1 across forward, neutral, and reverse, this lower unit comes fitted with a four-blade aluminum propeller.
Everything in this listing's box
Unpacking this one reveals more than just the powerhead: universal cables feeding a throttle control unit for top or side mounting, a tilt switch, a trim limiter, an anti-theft device, engine oil, protective cable sleeving, a fuel tank and its quick-connect line, plus the aluminum propeller, an installation guide, the owner's manual, and a warranty card from the manufacturer.
Before you buy
Fuel is limited to 86-octane unleaded gasoline, and this motor starts manually with a pull cord rather than an electric starter. Listed dry weight for this one is 98.0000 pounds.
Q: Does a Power Thrust version exist for this block? Honda sells one separately; this standard listing does not include it.
