2018 Honda 20 HP BF20D3LHT Outboard Motor

Elevate your boating experience with the 2018 Honda 20 HP BF20D3LHT Outboard Motor—a perfect combination of power, efficiency, and precision engineering. Built by Honda Marine, a globally trusted name in outboard innovation, this 134-pound powerhouse is designed to deliver a smooth, quiet ride with impressive fuel economy and cutting-edge features.

Powerful Yet Portable: Why the BF20D3LHT Stands Out

The BF20D3LHT offers serious horsepower in a lightweight package. It’s equipped with a 20-inch long shaft, ideal for deeper transoms or larger boats. With electric start and power tilt, this motor eliminates the struggle of manual operations and ensures quick, effortless engine engagement every time.

Whether you’re an experienced angler or a weekend cruiser, the tiller steering gives you total control, while the up-front controls place everything within reach for a smooth and responsive ride.

Honda’s 4-Stroke Excellence

What truly sets this model apart is its advanced 4-stroke engine design, which ensures clean, efficient combustion and reduced emissions. With Honda’s signature PGM Ignition system, the engine operates with precise timing and peak efficiency, resulting in a better throttle response, smoother power delivery, and enhanced fuel economy.

The 3-Stage Carburetion system enhances fuel atomization, improving performance while maintaining great mileage. You’ll go further, burn less fuel, and keep your boating experience clean and quiet.

Built to Last in Fresh or Saltwater

Saltwater-rated and engineered for resilience, this motor includes Honda’s exclusive 4-Front Corrosion Protection System, using a double-sealed coating process and sacrificial anodes to fight corrosion in harsh marine environments. Whether you’re navigating coastal waters or freshwater lakes, the BF20D3LHT is built to withstand the elements.

Exceptional Handling and Comfort

Honda focuses on comfort and usability. The longer tiller handle offers excellent leverage, reducing driver fatigue. The EZ Steer Friction Control lets you fine-tune steering resistance to your preference. And thanks to the pendulum mount system, vibration is minimized, giving you a smoother ride over choppy waters.

Plus, the power tilt function makes adjusting the trim a breeze—especially helpful for navigating shallow water or trailering your boat. The Shallow Water Drive mode makes it ideal for exploring tight or less-traveled areas.

Tech Highlights & Safety Features

The 2018 BF20D3LHT isn’t just about muscle—it’s smart too. Key technical and safety features include:

• High Output 12-Amp Alternator: Keeps your onboard electronics and accessories fully powered.

• Engine Alert System: Warns you of overheating, oil pressure, or other potential issues.

• Auto Start Enrichment: No need for a choke—it automatically adjusts for easier cold starts.

• Positive Lubrication System: Keeps moving parts well-oiled and protected for extended engine life.

• Water-Cooled System: Provides superior thermal control and reliability.

Eco-Friendly Boating

As a CARB 3-Star Ultra-Low Emissions rated motor, the BF20D3LHT meets stringent environmental standards. Boaters can enjoy both performance and sustainability, knowing their motor is designed to reduce environmental impact.
