Details & Inspection Notes
This Honda, model BF8DK3SHA, is rated at 8 HP, updated for 2018. The shaft measures 15-inch, manual rope starting. Built for small-boat use, not , specifically, a big rig that needs a remote helm.
Fitment first
This motor carries a 15-inch shaft, which Honda labels short. A quick transom check now saves a return later.
Running it
Steering is by tiller. It has a 3-star CARB rating. This one is rated for saltwater use.
It shifts forward-neutral-reverse. Lubrication is wet-sump, really, on FC-W 10W-30 oil.
The block here displaces 222cc. Honda calls for 86 octane unleaded.
On a jon boat, dinghy, or as a sailboat kicker, being easy to lift on and off the transom counts for a lot.
After each trip in salt or brackish water, a quick flush and rinse keeps corrosion from taking hold on the housing.
This stays simple to work on, not , plainly, a complex rebuild. Parts and service are the ordinary , notably, small-outboard kind, nothing exotic.
In the box
Along with the motor, a spare aluminum propeller, the owner's manual, a tilt switch, mounting cables, the fuel tank, a trim limiter, the quick-connect fuel line, and a cable-protection sleeve.
For going on a twin mount? confirm rotation with us first. Run fresh gas and drain the carburetor , altogether, before storage.
Honda includes a 5-year warranty.
