BF60

THE BEST IN CLASS

The BF60 is all about being the best. The best maneuverability and highest speed in its class. The best fuel economy. Best in class high output charging. And of course, best time out on the water.

The BF60 also features Easy Dock Steering™; offering 30° of steering from port and starboard, simplifying maneuvering in the marina.

Add in features like BLAST, Programmable Fuel Injection, a high-performance heavy-duty gear case, Lean Burn Control, and variable speed trolling, and you’ve got a legendary motor that’s indeed best in class.

POWERFUL PERFORMANCE

INSTANT ACCELERATION

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

MIKUNI® INTAKE SYSTEM

The lightweight Mikuni® long tube intake track system helps build low end torque.

SUPERIOR FUEL EFFICIENCY

BEST IN CLASS FUEL EFFICIENCY

Lean Burn Control increases fuel efficiency by allowing combustion to operate on a leaner air/fuel mixture. At cruising speed, this engine runs on up to 20% less fuel* than others in its class..

PGM-FI

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

EASY DOCK STEERING

EXCEPTIONAL MANEUVERABILITY

Easy Dock Steering® takes the anxiety out of maneuvering your pontoon boat around the marina. No other mid-size motor has this degree of maneuverability! the BF60 remote with a full 30-degree turning capability on each side, you’ll find that parking your boat has just become a whole lot easier.

LEGENDARY RELIABILITY

PROVEN HONDA QUALITY

Our outboards share many technologies and components used in Honda vehicles, with all the benefits of years of proven Honda engineering, precision manufacturing and reliability.

UNMATCHED PEACE OF MIND

Honda’s True 5 Warranty is the best in the business. This transferable, non-declining warranty is the same on the last day as it is on the first.

ENGINE ALERT SYSTEM

The Engine Alert System uses visual, audio and RPM reduction circuits to alert the operator of over-heating, low oil PSI and over-revving.

TOUGH CORROSION RESISTANCE

Honda’s exclusive 4-Front Corrosion Protection System offers a patented, double-sealed multi-layered paint process. Sacrificial anodes and stainless steel technology, along with waterproof connectors, and internally painted cooling passages, all enhance corrosion protection. Fresh water flush port flushes debris and saltwater out of the engine.

EASY OWNERSHIP

SIMPLIFIED MAINTENANCE

The little things make a big difference. The BF60 is designed to reduce maintenance time and cost for routine tasks like oil and filter changes and valve adjustments.

ON-BOARD CONNECTIVITY

NMEA 2000 protocols allow engine data to be interfaced with on-board systems and systems displays, such as SONAR or GPS..

MORE USABLE CHARGING POWER

There’s always plenty of electric power with the BF60. The high output charging system reduces heat buildup and keeps battery banks charged all day, even when running multiple accessories.

Honda’s exclusive neodymium magnet flywheel enables these engines to produce nearly twice as many charging amps as some competitors.

The standard BF60 develops a total 22 amps and 17 charging amps.
