Honda 50HP BF50 Outboard Engine

Honda 50HP Key Features

Strong Performance in a Compact Package
Despite its compact size, the Honda BF50 delivers lively acceleration and smooth power across the rev range. Honda’s advanced engineering ensures responsive handling and reliable performance wherever your boating takes you. Three cylinders and a single overhead camshaft (OHC) design provide the perfect balance of power, efficiency and durability.

Smooth Acceleration with Honda BLAST™
Getting onto the plane quickly matters. The Honda BLAST™ system (Boosted Low Speed Torque) improves ignition timing at lower revs to generate stronger torque right when you need it.

Fuel Efficient Cruising with ECOmo
Long days on the water should not mean constant fuel stops. Honda’s ECOmo lean-burn technology automatically adjusts the fuel-to-air ratio while cruising, optimising fuel consumption based on engine load and speed. When the boat is on plane, the PGM-FI system can run a leaner fuel mixture for up to 20% better fuel efficiency.

Fine-Tuned Control with Power Trim and Tilt
Conditions change on the water. Your engine should adapt with them. The power trim and tilt system allows you to quickly adjust the engine angle to find the sweet spot between speed, performance and fuel economy. Trim correctly and you’ll notice smoother handling, improved efficiency and better overall ride quality.

Hydrodynamic Gear Case Design
The BF50’s gear case has been carefully designed to reduce water resistance and maximise propulsion efficiency. Less drag means more of the engine’s power is converted into forward motion, helping your boat perform better while using less fuel.

Reliable Power for Your Electronics
Modern boats rely on electronics - from navigation systems to fishfinders and onboard lighting. The high-output alternator delivers up to 22 amps, ensuring your battery stays charged and your electronics stay powered throughout the day.

NMEA2000® Compatible Electronics
The Honda BF50 integrates easily with modern marine electronics. With NMEA2000® compatibility, engine data such as RPM, fuel consumption and engine temperature can be displayed directly on compatible multifunction displays, navigation units or digital gauges.

Ideal for Fishing Boats
Quiet operation and precise low-speed control make the Honda BF50 outboard particularly well suited to fishing boats. Smooth trolling speeds help you stay on the fish without excessive noise or disturbance - perfect for long days on the water.

Built-In Protection and Easy Maintenance
Honda has built the BF50 to be dependable and easy to maintain.

Key protection features include:

• Overheat warning system
• Rev limiter to prevent engine damage
• Freshwater flushing port for easy cleaning after use

These systems help keep the engine running reliably and protect it from unnecessary wear.
