Honda 20 HP Outboard for Sale: The BF20

The Honda BF20 shares its smooth twin cylinder platform with the BF15 but delivers a clear step up in power. That means faster planing, better performance with two or three people aboard and more margin when the wind picks up. It remains light enough to fit and remove without special equipment. Here is every Honda 20 HP outboard for sale in our stock.

BF20 Strengths

Excellent power to weight

Because it shares a body with the BF15, the BF20 adds performance with very little extra weight, which helps small hulls plane quickly and stay balanced.

Smooth and quiet

Honda's twin cylinder four stroke is known for low vibration and a quiet idle, which makes long days on the tiller more comfortable.

Power tilt option

The SHT and LHT versions raise and lower the motor at the push of a button, handy for beaching, launching and shallow water.

Manual Start or Power Tilt?

Manual start models are lighter, simpler and need no battery, ideal for small boats without electrics. Power tilt models need a battery and charging, but make handling the motor much easier, especially for older owners or when you beach often.

Choosing a Shaft

Measure from the top of the transom to the bottom of the hull. About 15 inches calls for S, typical of inflatables and small jon boats. About 20 inches calls for L, typical of larger aluminium boats and RIBs.

Getting the Best Performance

Keep weight forward to help the boat climb onto plane, set the trim so the boat runs level, and fit a prop that lets the motor reach its recommended full throttle revs with your normal load. Heavier boats often run better on a slightly lower pitch prop.

Care Tips

  • Flush with fresh water after salt water use.
  • Change engine and gear oil on schedule.
  • Inspect the water pump impeller, anode and propeller.
  • Use fresh fuel and a water separating filter.
