Which Honda 15 Do You Need?

Simple tiller

The pull start BF15D3SH and BF15D3LH are ideal for jon boats, inflatables and small aluminium boats where simplicity and low weight matter.

Electric start and power tilt

Electric start and power tilt models make life easier on boats with a battery, especially when the motor is heavy to lift or awkward to reach.

Remote

The BF15D3LRT suits small console boats.

Power Thrust

BFP15 models use a lower gear ratio and bigger prop to push heavy boats, larger sailboats and kicker setups. Their 25 inch shafts suit sailboat brackets and high transoms.

Boats That Suit a Honda 15

• Jon boats and aluminium boats of 3.6 to 4.3 metres.
• Inflatables and RIBs of 3.3 to 3.8 metres.
• Sailboats of 8 to 10 metres, with BFP15 Power Thrust.
• Kickers on larger fishing boats.

Why Honda?

• Quiet, smooth twin cylinder running.
• Easy starting and good economy.
• Huge choice of versions.
• Honda's reputation for reliability.

Care Tips

• Flush after salt water use.
• Change engine and gear oil on schedule.
• Inspect the water pump, anode and prop.
• Keep the battery charged on electric start and power tilt models.

Using a Honda 15 as a Kicker or Sailboat Motor

On bigger fishing boats, a BFP15 with power tilt makes a strong kicker, able to troll a heavy boat steadily for hours and get you home if the main engine stops. The remote BFP15D3XRT can be linked to the helm for easy control. On sailboats of 8 to 10 metres, the extra power over a 9.9 helps push into wind and chop, and the 25 inch shaft keeps the prop deep as the stern lifts. Electric start is a real convenience when the motor sits on a high bracket.

Getting the Best Performance on Small Boats

On jon boats and inflatables, keep weight forward to help the boat plane, set the trim so it runs level, and choose a prop that lets the motor reach its recommended full throttle revs with your normal load.
