Honda 50HP Outboard - BF50D4XRTA

Rated 50 HP off a three-cylinder, 808cc block, the BF50D4XRTA carries EFI induction, remote mechanical steering, and electric start on a 25-inch shaft, at a listed dry weight of 225 pounds. New.

What electronic fuel injection does here

Programmed fuel injection keeps cold starts and throttle response consistent across temperature and altitude swings rather than relying on carburetor jetting that can drift with conditions. This three-cylinder block tops out at 5500-6000 rpm at full throttle.

Before you buy

This is the 25-inch-shaft listing in this part of Honda's 50 HP range; measure the transom before ordering, since this same horsepower rating is also sold on a different shaft length elsewhere in the lineup. Remote mechanical steering means the boat needs a console and cable steering already rigged rather than a tiller handle at the engine, and a propeller is not included with this motor.

Specification highlights

Three cylinders and 808cc of displacement are what this motor runs on, paired with the EFI induction and 25-inch shaft noted above.

Standard equipment

Honda includes a printed owner's manual with every one of these fifty-horsepower motors. A freshwater flush fitting and charging come standard too, and power trim and tilt handles the running angle. A five-year factory warranty backs the engine.

Q: Is a propeller included? No, size one separately to the boat and gearcase.
