2019 Honda 15 HP BF15D3LH Outboard Motor

This 2019 Honda BF15D3LH is a 15 hp portable outboard with tiller steering, manual starting, and a long 20-inch shaft, listed at 118.0 lbs.

Shaft and controls

A 20-inch shaft is the longer of Honda's two shaft choices in this BF15 family, so pair it with a transom built for that length rather than a shorter one. Steering and throttle are both worked at the tiller handle, there is no remote cable to rig, and starting plus trim and tilt are manual, operated by hand rather than a switch at the console.

Engine details

Two cylinders make up this 350cc block, with SOHC valve gear, PGM-IG ignition, and two valves per cylinder; bore and stroke come to 59mm by 64mm. Fuel-wise, this carbureted engine wants 86-octane unleaded gasoline, held in a 3.2-gallon tank outside the cowling and routed in through a quick-connect line. Honda's full-throttle figure sits at 4,500-5,500 rpm, and the gearcase shifts forward, neutral, and reverse on a 2.08:1 ratio, with the block water cooled and rated for saltwater use.

What comes with it

Lubrication runs wet sump, using FC-W 10W-30 oil, and a 6-amp alternator handles charging. A 9¼ x 10-inch, four-blade aluminum propeller is fitted from the factory, there's no internal battery to maintain, and Honda's coverage on this engine runs 5 years.
