Hond BF50
LIGHTEST IN ITS CLASS
- Honda’s elegant new design is the lightest engine available in its class. Perfect for aluminum boats and inflatables.
BLAST
- A quick movement of the throttle control activates the BLAST TM system, advancing the ignition curve aggressively. 'Hole shot' is vastly improved as more horsepower gets the hull up on plane quicker.
PROGRAMMED ELECTRONIC FUEL INJECTION
- Delivers the precise amount of fuel/air to each cylinder. The result is easy starts and instant throttle response with superior fuel efficiency.
ECOmo
- Along with Honda’s Programmed Fuel Injection, the BF50 incorporates Lean Burn Control technology, which allows combustion to operate on a leaner air/fuel ratio than stoichiometric air/fuel. An O2 sensor, together with the ECM, precisely controls the air/fuel mixture for the best fuel economy at cruise setting. The mode in which lean burn control is used during cruising to achieve higher fuel economy is referred to as ECOmo (Economy Controlled Motor).
NMEA2000 COMPATIBLE
- The BF50 can communicate with onboard electronics to deliver a wide-range of information to head-unit displays. When networked with a Lowrance HDS unit, for example, engine data such as speed, revs, temperature, fuel usage and other data can be displayed on the unit’s screen.
HIGH PERFORMANCE GEARCASE
- Designed to get you going faster, this all new gearcase reduces drag, reduces hull porpoising and minimises spray, thus increasing acceleration and top speed.
SUPERIOR BATTERY CHARGING
- There's always plenty of electric power with the BF50. Honda’s innovative technology enables this engine to output nearly twice as many charging amps as the competition’s.
3 POSITION TILLER HANDLE
- Adjusts to your comfort for easiest hull maneuverability.
ENGINE ALERT SYSTEM
- Uses visual, audio and rpm reduction circuits to alert the operator of overheating, low oil PSI and over-revving, preventing engine damage.
CORROSION PROTECTION SYSTEM
- A patented 'Double Sealed' multi-layered paint process. Sacrificial anodes and stainless steel technology, along with water resistant connectors, all enhance corrosion protection.
EASY MAINTENANCE
- Easy 'screw-type' valve adjuster sytem requires no shims and reduces maintenance costs. Easy access side-mounted oil filter and oil filler make for easy maintenance.
MIKUNI INTAKE SYSTEM
- Honda’s 50hp engine features the lightweight Mikuni long tube intake track system, which helps build low-end torque.
800 RPM TROLLING
- Another great advantage for anglers, Honda engineers reduced the trolling speed of the BF50 from 950rpm to 800rpm.
