Honda BF8
Model: 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.
