Honda 8HP Power Thrust Portable Outboard | BFP8DK3LRT

The Honda BFP8DK3LRT is an 8 HP Power Thrust four-stroke outboard with the long 20-inch shaft, remote steering, and a dual electric-and-manual start. It carries two cylinders displacing 222 cc, weighs about 123 lbs, and is built for owners who want more thrust from a portable-class motor without stepping up to a bigger block.

What the Power Thrust name means here

This model pairs the BF8 platform with the Power Thrust propeller and power tilt, positioned as extra pushing power for heavier loads compared with a standard-thrust 8 HP unit. The motor is carbureted rather than fuel injected and reaches full throttle in the 4500-5500 RPM band.

Fit and controls to check

Steering here is remote, not tiller, so plan for the matching control box and cables rather than a handle at the motor. Starting is dual-mode, electric with a manual backup, which is worth confirming against your boat's battery and wiring before you order. A built-in charging system is meant to keep that battery topped up underway, and fuel is drawn from a 3-gallon external tank through its own line.

Common questions

What ships with it? An external 3-gallon fuel tank with its own line, the charging system, power tilt, the power-thrust propeller, and an owner's manual.
