Key Features of the 2018 Honda BF5DHLHNA
Reliable and Efficient 4-Stroke Engine
The Honda BF5DHLHNA runs on a clean-burning 4-stroke engine. Its overhead valve (OHV) design boosts fuel efficiency while keeping maintenance needs low. With a 127 cc displacement, it offers smooth power delivery and strong torque, even at lower RPMs.
Lightweight and Easy to Transport
At just over 60 lbs, this model is among the lightest in its class, allowing for easy installation, removal, and portability. Whether you’re switching between boats or storing it between trips, the BF5DHLHNA keeps things simple.
Large Displacement for More Power
Despite its compact size, the BF5 features a large single-cylinder engine. This allows for better power-to-weight ratio and stronger acceleration, making it ideal for small crafts that need reliable propulsion.
Convenient Fold-Down Tiller Handle
Designed with user comfort in mind, the fold-down tiller handle is ergonomically placed and easy to operate. It makes stowing the motor more convenient and minimizes the space required for storage.
Quiet and Low-Vibration Operation
With new isolation mounts and a refined engine layout, vibration is reduced significantly. The result is a smoother ride and reduced fatigue during extended boating sessions.
Built for Durability and Peace of Mind
4-Front Corrosion Protection System
Honda’s advanced anti-corrosion system protects critical components from rust and saltwater damage. This outboard is rated for saltwater use, making it a trusted choice for both freshwater and coastal boaters.
True 5 Warranty
Honda’s industry-leading True 5 Warranty covers parts and labor for a full five years with no strings attached. This means fewer worries and more time enjoying the water.
Digital CDI Ignition
This ignition system provides faster, more reliable starts, even in cold weather. Combined with the decompression mechanism and easy-pull manual start, firing up your motor has never been easier.
Smart Safety Features
Low Oil Warning System
If engine oil drops below a safe level, the system activates a warning and reduces RPMs to protect the engine. This feature adds an extra layer of safety and ensures long-term reliability.
One-Push Stop Button
An easy-access button makes shutting off the engine instant and hassle-free—ideal for quick reactions in tight docking or emergency situations.
Designed for Versatility
Shallow Water Drive
Navigate low-depth areas with confidence using the shallow water drive feature. This is perfect for exploring shorelines, rivers, and backwaters.
F-N-R Gearshift
Switch between forward, neutral, and reverse with ease using the smooth gearshift, enhancing maneuverability and control while docking or fishing.
Wet Sump Lubrication System
Built for longevity, the wet sump system delivers consistent oiling across all engine parts, reducing wear and maximizing performance.
Environmentally Friendly Operation
Ultra Low 3-Star CARB Emissions
Meeting California’s stringent 3-star emission standards, this outboard minimizes its environmental impact without sacrificing power. It’s ideal for eco-conscious boaters.
