Performance and Efficiency
Four-Stroke Design - World-renowned Honda quality combines proven reliability and superior fuel efficiency, with no oil mixing.
Dual Overhead CAM (DOHC) - A powerful, compact 24-valve DOHC design creates more valve lift to pull in more air for increased horsepower. Low-maintenance design allows easy adjustment of the rocker arms. No multiple shims or trial-and-error adjusting needed.
VTEC® - Honda’s Variable Valve Timing & Lift Electronic Control (VTEC®) system® provides power where and when you need it. VTEC® gives you a broader, flatter torque curve and smooth power delivery throughout the engine’s operating range. The result is a superior combination of power, torque and fuel economy. VTEC® is the modern replacement for displacement.
Dual Stage Induction - Honda’s unique variable intake system optimizes air flow to match the engine’s speed. The result? Maximized combustion efficiency, increased torque, and superb fuel economy.
Multi-Port Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI®) - Programmed 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.
BLAST® System - Boosted Low Speed Torque, or BLAST®, improves acceleration at low speeds. A quick movement of the throttle control activates the BLAST® system, advancing the ignition curve aggressively. "Hole Shot" is vastly improved as more horsepower gets the hull up on plane quicker.
Lean Burn Control® - 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 19% less fuel* than its predecessor.
- *Based on EPA Specific Fuel Consumption Mode.
Non-Linear Mounting System - Patented non-linear rubber mounts provide smoother operation at all engine speeds.
Counter Rotation - Counter rotating models are available for multiple engine applications. These models improve efficiency, hull manoeuvrability and decreases driver fatigue.
LAF & Knock Sensors - Linear Air Fuel (LAF) and knock sensors help determine correct fuel flow and ignition curve to maximize performance and fuel efficiency.
Engine Command System - The ECM receives constant input from 18 different sensors to deliver instant starts, smooth operation, strong performance and excellent fuel efficiency.
New Intuitive Drive-by-Wire System - The Honda iST® command and control system provides superb control and plug-and-play installation. The system offers all of the features boaters are looking for, including control of multiple engines and two control stations; effortless shift and throttle control; fine tuning of throttle settings at any speed; virtual positioning and anchoring, enhanced docking and slow speed control; return-to-port capability; and simple, easy-to-understand user interface.

Reliability and Durability
Based on Honda Accord and CR-V - By sharing many components with the Honda Accord and CR-V automobiles, the BF150 gains years of proven Honda engineering and reliability.
3-Way Cooling System - Three separate cooling systems keep the cylinder heads running cooler for long-term durability.
Engine Alert System - The ECM monitors vital engine functions and prevents engine damage by alerting the operator of:
- • Overheating
- • Water in Fuel
- • Low Oil Pressure
- • Battery
- • Over-Rev
- • Critical Engine Function
Positive Lubrication - A crankshaft-driven, automotive-style trochoid oil pump ensures long-term durability of critical engine components.
Single Latch Cowl - A single front-mounted latch combines with 4 securing points to ensure a water-tight seal.
Sealed Starter - The starter motor is inverted into a sealed chamber that protects the starter drive from the elements.
Four-Front Corrosion Protection - A patented, "Double Sealed" multi-layered paint process. Sacrificial anodes and stainless steel technology, along with waterproof connectors, all enhance corrosion protection.
Fresh Water Flushport - Flushes debris and saltwater out of the engine, extending the life of the outboard.
Stainless Steel (Steering Arm, Tilt Tube and All Shafts) - Stainless steel components provide durability with long-term corrosion resistance.
Ultra Low 3-Star CARB Emissions - Environmentally conscious technology. All Honda Marine engines exceed the highest CARB 3-Star rating to meet the rigorous California Air Resource Board's standards.
Warranty - The BF150 Honda outboards carry a full, three-year, non-declining, manufacturer's warranty (parts and labour).
