Honda 9.9HP High Thrust Portable Outboard | BFP10D3LHT

The Honda BFP10D3LHT pairs the 9.9 hp High Thrust powerhead with a 20-inch shaft, tiller steering, and both electric and manual starting, making it a portable option for a dinghy, sailboat auxiliary, or small pontoon that needs a bit more shove than a standard 9.9 provides.

Matching it to your boat

High Thrust models swap in a larger, slower-turning propeller than the standard 9.9, so they move heavier hulls more easily even though peak rpm is similar. At 20 inches, this shaft suits a shorter transom; measure from the top of the transom down to the keel before ordering, since getting that wrong hurts both handling and engine cooling. Tiller control keeps steering, shifting, and throttle at the back of the boat, which many owners of small auxiliary boats prefer for simplicity over remote cables.

Starting, fuel, and what ships with it

It is a 222cc, two-cylinder, carbureted four-stroke with a 5000-6000 rpm full-throttle range, weighing 126 pounds. Starting is electric with a manual pull-cord backup, so a dead battery does not leave you stranded. In the box: a stop-switch lanyard, the owner's manual, power tilt, fuel line, an external 3-gallon tank, a charging system, and the High Thrust propeller, backed by Honda's 5-year warranty.

Will this fit a sailboat with a long transom? The 20-inch shaft suits a shorter transom height; confirm your measurement first. Is a battery included? No, you supply the battery for the electric start.
