Honda 2019 Honda 8 HP BF8DK3LHSA Outboard Motor

Listed here, Honda's BF8DK3LHSA carries a Honda rating of 8 HP, new for 2019. Power runs through a 20-inch shaft, a push-button electric starter. Built for tenders, not a heavier center-console setup. Check the shaft first This motor is built on a 20-inch shaft, labeled long by Honda. Measure your transom first rather than going by horsepower. How you run it Throttle and shift sit on the handle. Honda lists full throttle at 4500 to 5500 rpm. You get CARB's 3-star emissions tier. You can run it fine for saltwater use. It has forward, neutral, and reverse. It takes FC-W 10W-30 oil in a wet-sump system. It's a 222cc powerhead. It wants 86 octane unleaded gas. On a small boat, whether as kicker or primary, a light, easy-to-handle motor is the priority. Once you're done running it, a flush and rinse-down goes a long way toward keeping corrosion off. Nothing complicated here, just a simple, serviceable small engine. Parts and service are the ordinary small-outboard kind, nothing exotic. For running two side by side? confirm rotation first. Fresh fuel and a drained carburetor avoid hard starts. Honda covers it with Honda's 5-year warranty. Before you buy Electric start? Yes, plus a pull-start backup. Power tilt? No, manual tilt. New or used? New. Shaft length? 20 inches (long). Weigh this against the rest of Honda's small-outboard lineup before ordering.
