BF30 short or long shaft 30 hp – 4-stroke engine | 3 cylinders – 552 cm³
- With all its innovative features and low fuel consumption, the BF30 pays for itself many times over.
- The right combination of smooth power, low noise, and stable operation – no matter how choppy the water is.
- This engine is suitable for powering boats with a total weight of up to 6,500 kg at displacement speed.
- While cruising on your favorite water or along the coastline, you will realize that choosing a Honda was a great decision. It is so quiet – you can easily carry on a conversation with your fellow passengers while cruising.
- 4-stroke technology: for easy starting, quiet operation, and low emissions.
-
Four-stroke technology: No hassle with mixing gasoline and oil – it runs on unleaded gasoline without the need to mix oil into the fuel. The result is a perfect combination of robustness, performance, and everyday reliability.
-
Powerful, lightweight three-cylinder engine: a technologically advanced outboard motor with an excellent power-to-weight ratio, powerful acceleration, and impressively efficient fuel consumption.
-
Proven Honda technologies from automotive and motorcycle development have also been applied to this outboard motor, with a focus on performance, reliability, and efficiency.
- PGM-FI electronic fuel injection: ensures the engine starts easily, accelerates powerfully, and has low fuel consumption. The long, slim intake manifold and smaller electronic components weigh less, take up less space, and contribute to the compact and slim design. The gearbox is extremely hydrodynamic to reduce water resistance and get the most out of the engine's power.
-
As a rule of thumb, for planing boats, you need 1 hp for every 10 to 20 kg of total weight. Based on this, this outboard motor is suitable for a total weight of 300 to 600 kg. For displacement boats, 1 hp per 150 to 200 kg is sufficient; in that case, the motor is adequate for 4 to 6 tons of total weight.
- The 552 cc three-cylinder engine with high torque delivers high power. The BF30 provides high torque levels, especially in the mid-range.
- Fine-tuning: with the help of power tilt and trim, you can find an economical speed and maneuver the boat precisely for better performance and fuel savings.
- Engine protection and security: engine monitoring function.
- 4Front Corrosion Protection: a four-layer coating process that provides protection against UV radiation and salt water. This ensures the best protection against the harsh conditions at sea. Four layers of defense: Honda first anodizes the aluminum body with a patented 'double-sealing' process. Next, an epoxy primer is applied before the shimmering silver paint. For extra protection against UV radiation, a clear acrylic resin topcoat is finally applied. And for even more peace of mind, a sacrificial anode is attached and all connections are waterproof. Corrosion doesn't stand a chance.

- The transom height of the boat determines the shaft length of the outboard motor. Measure from the point where the motor hangs to the bottom. Is the transom height around 43 centimeters? Then you need a short shaft. At a length of 51 centimeters, it is best to choose a long shaft. You need an extra-long shaft for a length of 63 centimeters.
- Practical measurement: with an Amigo 475 Sport of approximately 410 kg, a top speed of about 40 km/h was measured with a 30 hp outboard motor.
