Honda 5HP Portable Outboard | BF5DHSHNA

A Honda 5 HP portable outboard, model BF5DHSHNA, a single-cylinder four-stroke built to stay light and quiet for small tenders and jon boats rather than chase extra power.

Who this suits

At around 60 lbs, this is a motor meant to be carried, mounted, and removed by hand rather than hoisted, suited to small tenders and jon boats where low weight and low vibration matter more than top speed. Tiller steering and a manual starter keep the control layout simple.

What's included

The motor ships with a propeller, a built-in fuel tank holding about four-tenths of a gallon, a fitting for connecting an external fuel tank when more range is needed, a stop-switch lanyard, and an owner's manual. Displacement is 127cc, delivered through a carburetor, with a full-throttle range of 5,000 to 6,000 rpm.

What to check before buying

Shaft length on this model is 15 inches, so measure your transom before ordering to make sure the propeller sits at the right depth, and confirm the lanyard-style stop switch suits how you plan to operate the boat. Because the fuel tank is small, plan your trip length around it or rely on the external fitting when you expect to be on the water longer than the built-in tank comfortably allows. The motor is backed by a 5-year warranty, and tiller-steered motors like this one generally mount and remove from a transom with simple hand tools.
