PREMIUM POWER

HONDA’S FIRST V8

Honda’s first ever production V8 engine is designed to deliver maximum power with impressive fuel efficiency.

HIGHEST MAXIMUM POWER FOR EXHILERATING RIDES

Stunning speed and rapid acceleration provide exciting high propulsion operation, with smooth response and exceptionally robust torque.

POWER WHERE AND WHEN YOU NEED IT

Honda’s exclusive VTEC technology offers a superior combination of power, torque, and fuel economy.

INSTANT ACCELERATION

Honda’s exclusive BLAST system improves acceleration at low speeds. The result? Instant acceleration and improved hole shot.

FULLY BALANCED 30° OFFSET CRANKSHAFT

Every BF350 crankshaft is built using the same crankshaft alloy and tested to the same strength specifications as Acura’s famed NSX high-performance sports supercar. The fully balanced, 30° offset crankshaft eliminates the need for counter balancing; it seamlessly integrates with 60° engine design and nonlinear engine mount to provide exceptional performance with minimal vibration.

SUPERIOR FUEL EFFICIENCY

IMPRESSIVE FUEL EFFICIENCY

Optimized fuel efficiency extends range and reduces operating costs, outperforming the competition’s fuel efficiency at cruise by 17% and cost by 20%.

RUNS ON 86 OCTANE FUEL

The BF350 is a premium performer that runs on regular gas. That’s good for your wallet!

LEAN BURN CONTROL

Honda’s exclusive Lean Burn Control technology optimizes fuel efficiency by supporting effective combustion on a leaner air-to-fuel mixture.

RIDE FURTHER, LONGER

Less frequent need for refueling means more time enjoying boating.

PGM-FI

Multi-port Programmed Fuel Injection adds both easy starts and improved fuel efficiency – without sacrificing performance.

POWERFUL PERFORMANCE

TRIM SUPPORT

Trim support operates automatically based on engine or boat speed. Presets can be fine-tuned to adapt to changing conditions.

AUTOMATIC TILT

Automatic tilt offers easy, button-controlled, up-or-down tilt when stored or mooring with just two button presses.

CRUISE CONTROL

Cruise control allows boaters to maintain their preferred cruising speed or RPM for tow sports, while trolling for fish, or even while taking tight turns or boating in rough water.

HIGH THRUST CAPABILITY

High thrust capability provides superior maneuvarability and control, aiding in the positioning and stopping of large boats.

HIGH OUTPUT CHARGING FOR MORE USABLE POWER

High charging performance offers large power generation capacity of maximum 70A – exceeding the needs of typical on-board devices.

SAVE YOUR BATTERY WITH AMP+

At idle, when the engine senses a need for additional amperage, AMP+ automatically increases the rpm’s by 100 to produce an additional 9 amps. This helps prevent the draining of critical battery power when using multiple accessories.

EXTRAORDINARY EXPERIENCES

EXCEPTIONALLY QUIET

Quiet operation, even at cruising speed, for relaxed onboard conversations and enjoyable social experiences.
