Honda 2017 Honda 9.9 HP BFP10D3XHT Outboard Motor

This is the 2017 Honda BFP10D3XHT, a 9.9 hp Power Thrust four-stroke built around a 25-inch extra-long shaft, electric start, and power tilt, aimed at a tiller boat with a tall transom that needs extra pushing power rather than top speed. Why the Power Thrust designation matters The "P" in BFP10D3XHT marks Honda's Power Thrust version of the 9.9, which trades some top-end rpm for a larger-diameter, lower-pitch propeller and gearcase tuned to move heavier boats, pontoons, and sailboats off the dock. This unit ships with a 10-inch, 6.5-inch-pitch four-blade aluminum propeller and a 2.33:1 gear ratio, both chosen for that pushing power over outright speed. With tiller steering and power tilt built in, one person can both steer and trim the motor without leaving the tiller arm. What to confirm before mounting Shaft length is the first measurement to check against the transom, since this is the extra-long 25-inch version; get that wrong and both handling and cooling at the water surface suffer. It is carbureted, water-cooled, saltwater rated, and fed by a 12-amp alternator for basic electronics and light charging, running on an external 3.2-gallon tank with a quick-connect fuel line. Honda backs the BFP10D3XHT with a 5-year warranty. Does it have electric start? Yes, with manual backup starting built in. Can I run it in saltwater? It carries a saltwater rating, though rinsing after each use is still good practice. Is the propeller included? Yes, the 10-inch, 6.5-inch-pitch four-blade aluminum propeller ships installed.
