Honda 135 HP Outboard for Sale: The BF135

The Honda BF135 shares its 2.4 litre four cylinder engine with the BF150, tuned to 135 horsepower. That combination of big displacement and a moderate rating gives excellent torque, smooth running and good fuel economy, which is why the BF135 is a favourite repower for bay boats, pontoons and family boats. Here is every Honda 135 HP outboard for sale in our stock.

BF135 Highlights

VTEC and big torque

Honda's larger four cylinder outboards use VTEC variable valve timing, combining strong low speed torque for holeshot with extra breathing at high revs.

Lean Burn economy

At steady cruising speeds, Lean Burn Control leans the mixture to save fuel, and an ECO indicator shows when you are in the efficient zone on many installations.

BLAST

Honda's BLAST system advances ignition timing during hard acceleration for a quicker climb onto plane.

Smooth and quiet

Automotive refinement means low vibration and a quiet idle.

Single or Twin?

A single BF135 suits many 6 metre boats. For twins, pair a standard rotation BF135 with the counter rotating BF135A2XCA of the same shaft length so prop torque cancels out and the boat tracks straight.

Choosing a Shaft

About 20 inches of transom calls for the L; about 25 inches for the X. Measure from the top of the transom to the hull bottom.

Rigging and Props

Plan for Honda compatible controls, hydraulic steering, a key switch, gauges, a quality battery and a fuel system with a water separator. Choose a prop that lets the engine reach the top of its recommended rev range with your usual load; bay boats often use stainless props.

Care Tips

• Flush after salt water use.
• Change oil, filter and gear oil on schedule.
• Inspect anodes, thermostats and the water pump impeller.

Repowering With a BF135

The BF135 is a popular choice for replacing older 135 to 150 HP engines on bay boats and pontoons. Check the transom can handle the weight, measure transom or jack plate height again and plan for Honda compatible controls, gauges and harness. Fresh fuel lines and a water separating filter are a sensible addition.
