Honda Outboards motors Frequently Asked Questions

How does the Honda BF20 compare to the Suzuki DF20A?

Both are excellent 20 HP 4-stroke motors. The Suzuki DF20A features multi-point EFI for potentially better fuel economy and cold-start performance. The Honda BF20 uses Honda's proven carburetor system and is backed by Honda's 5-year warranty. The DF20A is the performance choice; the BF20 is the reliability and warranty choice.

What is the fuel consumption of a Honda BF20?

The Honda BF20 consumes approximately 1.0-1.8 gallons per hour at cruise speed depending on load and RPM. Honda's 4-stroke design makes it significantly more fuel-efficient than equivalent 2-stroke motors.

Is the Honda BF20 available with electric start?

Yes. The Honda BF20 is available in manual start and electric start configurations. Electric start models include a starter motor and require a 12V battery connection. Recoil (pull) start is standard on all models as a backup.

What is the shaft length on the Honda BF20?

The Honda BF20 is available in short shaft (15") and long shaft (20") versions. Short shaft fits most aluminum fishing boats with standard 15" transoms. Long shaft is needed for higher transoms or deep-V hulls.
