2024 Honda Marine BF150 X-Type

2024 Honda Marine BF150 X-Type

With technology from the Accord and CR-V, the Honda BF150 Large Outboard Motor brings big performance and reliability. The legendary Variable Valve Timing & Lift Electronic Control (VTEC®) provides smooth acceleration and power, Dual Stage Induction gives you loads of torque and superb fuel economy, and the Multi-Port Programmed Fuel Injection PGM-FI gives you solid starts and throttle. The convenient and easy-to-use technology found in the Honda BF150 iST®helps to deliver a noticeably smooth and controlled boating experience. Harnessing Drive By Wire (DBW) technology, a system that relies on electronic controls for shifting and throttle (whereas a mechanical system relies on cables for shift and throttle), the Honda BF150 iST®moves past the stiffness of traditional mechanical motors. The BF150 does not come with a propeller. Please consult with your Honda Dealer for propeller application assistance. BF250, BF225 and BF150 have counter-rotation models available.

Performance and Efficiency

• The BF225’s new iST® drive-by-wire system offers intuitive, precision-based technology that replaces mechanical cables with electronic controls, providing superb control and plug-and-play installation. The system offers all 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.

• 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.

• World-renowned Honda quality combines proven reliability and superior fuel efficiency, with no oil mixing.

Reliability and Durability

• Honda has painted the interior cooling passages on the BF225. This process prolongs the engine’s life in the harsh saltwater environment.

• The BF225 shares many components with the Honda Ridgeline, Odyssey and Honda Pilot, gaining years of proven Honda engineering, precision manufacturing and reliability.

• 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

Convenience and Ease of Use

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

• The BF225’s charging system features a 90 amp "On Demand" belt-driven alternator with 60 charging amps. This superior design reduces heat build-up and provides outstanding battery charging across the rpm range.
