Portable power
Reliable and quiet, the ergonomic carry handle of the lightweight BF2.3 allows the Honda experience to be enjoyed anywhere, anytime! The ease of transporting the BF2.3 makes it perfect for inflatable boats like the Honwave, as well as small tenders and canoes.
Features
Ultimate portable power
Not only does the BF2.3 pack enough punch to push a boat out to sea, it’s light enough to be carried back to the car. Thanks to the ergonomic carry handle fitted to each engine, the BF2.3 can be taken virtually anywhere. Despite the engine’s size, the BF2.3 boasts all the benefits of Honda’s advanced four-stroke technology, its lightest 2.3hp four-stroke available – even lighter than most two-stroke outboards.
Low maintenance
Thanks to the transistor ignition, you’ll get maintenance-free, high-energy output for quick and easy starts with the BF2.3. The forced air-cooled engine also means there is no water pump to worry about being plugged with weeds or damaged by sand. The BF2.3’s Shallow Water Drive also allows you to run in shallow water and greatly reduces the risk of engine damage.
Integral fuel tank
A 1L integral fuel tank facilitates easy removal and portability as one unit. The vent is able to be closed during transport or for extended storage periods. The engine can run for up to 55 minutes at full throttle on a tank of fuel.
Centrifugal clutch
The Honda BF2.3 comes standard with a centrifugal clutch. As a result, the engine is able to maintain a smooth idle and automatically engage the prop above idle speed when the throttle is advanced. It’s like having a neutral position. The engine is able to maintain a smooth idle and then upon advancing the throttle it automatically engages the propeller above idle speed.
360 rotation and optimum maneuverability
Get in and out of tight spots with ease, or go in any direction on the compass, with this extremely maneuverable engine. The reverse thrust allows you to get to where you want to go efficiently. A twist grip throttle also allows for precise throttle control, and the throttle tensioner minimises driver fatigue.
Easy transport and storage
The front mount carrying handle provides superior portability and ease of installation. The BF2.3’s easy-to-maintain, compact design allows for easy transportation and storage, these features mean you can spend less time worrying about your engine, and more enjoying the outdoors.
