Honda’s advanced 4-stroke design guarantees low emissions and superior fuel economy. Compared to older 2-stroke motors, you’ll enjoy longer range and quieter operation without sacrificing horsepower.
Power Tilt Function
Navigating tight channels or launching in shallow water is made easier with power tilt, allowing you to effortlessly adjust your motor’s angle for optimal performance and clearance.
High-Output Charging System
A built-in 12-amp alternator (148 watts) provides plenty of power to run GPS, lights, or fish finders—keeping you connected and prepared all day.
Lightweight and Portable
Weighing just 130 lbs, this motor is easy to transport and install. The integrated carrying handle adds extra convenience for solo anglers or small boat owners.
Built with Boaters in Mind
Easy One-Hand Starting
Electric start ensures a smooth ignition every time, while the manual start backup provides peace of mind when you’re off-grid.
Extended Tiller Handle
Enjoy enhanced control with Honda’s longer tiller handle, making steering more precise and comfortable, especially in rough waters.
EZ Steer Friction Control
Fine-tune your steering with Honda’s adjustable friction control, allowing for smooth directional changes without overcorrecting.
Shallow Water Drive
Explore shallows confidently. The built-in shallow water drive protects your propeller while letting you access prime fishing spots others can’t reach.
