| New Honda BF80 Outboard |
Honda has just released
details of its brand new BF80 and BF100 outboard engines, which will hit the
market next year to coincide
with Honda Marine’s 50-year anniversary.
The BF80 /
BF100’s 1.5L, SOHC, 16-valve, inline four-cylinder engine is inspired by the
same engine that powers Honda’s number one selling motor vehicle, the ‘Jazz’. A
range of Honda-exclusive technologies combine to deliver exceptional power,
superior environmental performance and best-in-class fuel economy.
Incorporated
within the BF80 / BF100’s lightweight and compact design is BLAST – advanced
ignition timing control system, which significantly improves hole-shot
performance; ECOmo – sophisticated lean burn fuel control system, which
contributes to excellent fuel economy; and VTEC (BF100) – variable valve timing
technology, originally developed for Formula One race cars, to deliver incredible
power.
A refined high-performance
gear case enhances hydrodynamic efficiency, while engine exhaust is even further
reduced – inline with Honda’s unwavering commitment to the environment.
An optional Trolling Control
function allows precise control of engine speed, with adjustments in 50rpm increments
from 650rpm to 1000rpm, which is ideal for various styles of fishing and slow
speed manoeuvres.

Honda's new
BF80 and BF100 are also NMEA2000 compliant, allowing engine-to-electronics data
communication to deliver engine management and performance data to compatible
marine electronics displays. (Honda’s marine engine line-up from the BF40 to the BF250 is now fully NMEA2000 compliant.)
The new engines can also be networked with Honda’s VeeThree
multi-function digital gauges. Designed to provide a comprehensive range of information
to users, the gauges also feature Honda’s unique Eco light, which indicates when
ECOmo mode is in operation (for best fuel efficiency during cruising).
Further
strengthening Honda’s comprehensive marine engine line-up, the new BF80 and
BF100 are scheduled to be available in
Australia from early 2014.
