BF100 Honda Outboard Engine Key Features

• VTEC® (Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control): This technology, derived from Honda's automotive engines, optimizes engine performance across the entire RPM range by adjusting intake valve duration and lift. This provides a superior blend of power, torque, and fuel efficiency at all speeds.

• BLAST™ (Boosted Low Speed Torque): This feature significantly improves acceleration and "hole shot" performance by advancing ignition timing to boost engine torque at low RPMs.

• Lean Burn Control® (ECOmo): At cruising speeds, this system adjusts the air/fuel mixture to operate on a leaner mixture, which can improve fuel efficiency by up to 20% compared to some other engines in its class.

• PGM-FI (Programmed Fuel Injection): The microcomputer-controlled programmed fuel injection system ensures easy starting, instantaneous throttle response, and precise fuel delivery under all operating conditions.

• High Output Alternator: The engine is equipped with a high-output 44 amp alternator (35 charging amps) to power a range of onboard accessories and keep batteries charged.

• NMEA 2000® Compliant: This allows for seamless "plug and play" integration with third-party marine electronics like chart plotters and fish finders, without the need for expensive additional gateway interfaces.

• 4-Front® Corrosion Protection System: A patented, multi-layered anti-corrosion paint process provides enhanced resistance against UV rays and saltwater, ensuring long-term durability.

• Variable Speed Trolling Control: An optional feature (standard on tiller models) allows for precise trolling speed adjustment in 50 RPM increments, ideal for fishing and low-speed manoeuvres.

• Engine Alert System: This safety feature monitors vital engine functions such as overheating, low oil pressure, water in fuel, and battery condition, alerting the operator to potential issues.
