Portable
Compact Honda four-stroke outboards for tenders, dinghies, small boats and auxiliary propulsion.
Honda BF2.3
Ultra-light 2.3 hp air-cooled four-stroke portable outboard for dinghies and small boats. Best understood as the lightest, simplest Honda option here: portability and easy handling matter more than electrical output or high-speed performance. Before choosing, verify the boat’s permitted horsepower, shaft length, control and steering type, exact configuration weight and electrical compatibility. For jet-drive models, also consider water depth and the intended operating environment.
Honda BF8
8 hp two-cylinder portable four-stroke with high-output charging and available Power Thrust. A compact twin-cylinder step up from BF2.3 for tenders and small craft needing more thrust, charging capability and conventional water cooling. Before choosing, verify the boat’s permitted horsepower, shaft length, control and steering type, exact configuration weight and electrical compatibility. For jet-drive models, also consider water depth and the intended operating environment.
Honda BF9.9
9.9 hp two-cylinder portable four-stroke with high-output charging and available Power Thrust. Shares the 222 cc platform with BF8 but raises output to 9.9 hp; a natural comparison where a 9.9 hp limit matters. Before choosing, verify the boat’s permitted horsepower, shaft length, control and steering type, exact configuration weight and electrical compatibility. For jet-drive models, also consider water depth and the intended operating environment.
Honda BF15
15 hp compact two-cylinder portable four-stroke with high-output charging and practical tiller controls. Moves into the 350 cc twin-cylinder platform for users who still value a portable/tiller-format engine but need more thrust and charging capacity than BF8/BF9.9. Before choosing, verify the boat’s permitted horsepower, shaft length, control and steering type, exact configuration weight and electrical compatibility. For jet-drive models, also consider water depth and the intended operating environment.
Honda BF20
20 hp compact two-cylinder portable four-stroke with high-output charging and practical tiller controls. The strongest Portable model here, sharing the 350 cc family with BF15 while providing 20 hp for heavier small craft and higher load demands. Before choosing, verify the boat’s permitted horsepower, shaft length, control and steering type, exact configuration weight and electrical compatibility. For jet-drive models, also consider water depth and the intended operating environment.
