Honda 20 HP outboard motor BF20D LRU SRU

Year-old stock with discount and free engine oil. *L: long shaft, R: remote control, U: European version.
A PGM-IG 4-stroke twin-cylinder engine. When the 4-stroke comes to life, you notice how quiet it is. And thanks to Honda's exclusive vibration-absorbing rubber mount, it also feels very smooth.
Honda engines have a reputation based on reliability, superior fuel efficiency and low emissions.
According to boat-fuel-economy.com, consumption at full throttle is 4.9 liters per hour. Estimated consumption at half throttle is 2 to 3 liters per hour.
As a rule of thumb, for fast boats, you need 1 hp per 10 to 20 kilograms of total weight. Based on this, this outboard motor is suitable for 150 to 300 kilograms of total weight.
For displacement boats, 1 hp per 150 to 200 kilograms is sufficient; then the engine is adequate for 2 to 3 tons of total weight.
As a rule of thumb, for fast boats, you need 1 hp per 10 to 20 kilograms of total weight. Based on this, this outboard motor is suitable for 400 to 800 kilograms of total weight.
For displacement boats, 1 hp per 150 to 200 kilograms is sufficient; then the engine is adequate for 6 to 8 tons of total weight.
From top to bottom, the BF20 is an elegant-looking engine.

This lightweight 350cc 4-stroke engine is easy to start. This is due to the compression system and Programmed Ignition (PGM-IG). This ignition system precisely delivers the right mix of gasoline and air to the twin cylinders, so these Honda engines start immediately - even from cold. The compact engine not only runs very smoothly but is also robust.
The engine features a high-capacity alternator, which supports most electronic equipment you have on board – even at lower RPMs and speeds.
With a four-layer coating process that provides protection against UV radiation and saltwater. Four layers of defense: Honda first anodizes the aluminum body with a patented 'double-seal' process. Then an epoxy primer is applied before the shimmering silver paint is applied. For extra protection against UV radiation, a top layer of clear acrylic resin is finally applied. And for even more certainty, a sacrificial anode is attached, and all connections are waterproof. Corrosion stands no chance.
Easy reverse: When moving forward (A), the propeller will move through the water normally, but when reversing, it's a different story – unless you have a Honda. On other outboards, the propeller will spin in exhaust gas bubbles and won't be able to make 'contact' with the water. Our unique exhaust gas guidance system for reverse guides the exhaust gas bubbles away from the propeller (B), so it gains 'grip' on the water – instead of the air. The result is instant response in reverse, with much precise control.

The Honda warranty covers both manufacturing and material defects for three years from the date of purchase.
A 10 hp electric-powered motor is also available in tiller or remote control. Lower lifetime costs, higher resale value, more comfort and more sustainable.
Test report: review by Boot Magazine Germany 2019 (see also the video on this page).
In a comparative test review by German Boote TV, Honda took 1st place. With the Honda 15 hp, a maximum speed of 37 kilometers per hour was achieved with the dinghy.
The Honda comes from the factory with a four-bladed propeller in the
Basic equipment, and caused a sensation in the test.
Honda had the largest cruising range at different speeds due to the engine's efficiency.
For a pulling test, a line was attached to the boat and a bollard, a scale was hung between them, and full throttle was applied. The convincing winner of this pulling test is
Honda. Let's look at our measured data,
such as the thrust values, range, and top position in terms of speed. Honda is in first place.
With the Lago Amore 570 tender with 550 kilograms boat weight and 2 people, you can achieve a maximum speed of 14 kilometers per hour with a 15 hp outboard motor.
With the Gentle 590 Tender Sloop with 500 kilograms boat weight and 2 people, you can achieve a maximum speed of 14 kilometers per hour with a 15 hp outboard motor.
With a 510 sloop, with 1 person, you can achieve a maximum speed of 30 kilometers per hour with a 15 hp outboard motor.

Types

The transom height of the boat determines the shaft length of the outboard motor. Measure from the point where the engine hangs to the bottom. If the transom height is around 43 centimeters, you need a short shaft. For a length of 51 centimeters, a long shaft is best. An extra-long shaft is needed for a length of 63 centimeters.
