Honda Marine has released its much-anticipated completely redesigned BF75 and BF90 four-stroke EFI outboards.
The new BF75 / BF90’s 1.5lt, SOHC, 16-valve, inline four-cylinder VTEC™ (BF90) engine is inspired by the same remarkable engine that powers Honda’s number one selling motor vehicle, the ‘Jazz’. A range of Honda-exclusive technologies, superior performance and impressive power-to-weight ratios place these new models at the top of their class.
Honda Marine Manager Tim Davies said the new engines were developed around three key themes – economy, efficiency and durability.
“New to the BF75 / BF90 is multi-port electronic fuel injection (EFI) which, coupled with a dynamic engine control module, delivers top fuel economy in a very compact and lightweight package,” Mr Davies said.
“Our exclusive Lean Burn Control system automatically adjusts the air/fuel mix to deliver unsurpassed efficiency, while a two-way cooling system allows the cylinder head to run slightly cooler than the engine block, which improves long-term engine durability.
“Honda’s revolutionary Boosted Low Speed Torque (BLAST™) system, teamed with a high-performance gear case with a low 2.33:1 ratio, also ensures very strong hole shot acceleration – so strong it blasts other outboards in this class out of the water!”
Best-in-class top end performance and fuel economy, superior battery charging capacity, low operational costs and, of course, lightest weight in class are among a long list of features.
“Honda engineers strive for continuous improvement – creating new and innovative features to further perfect Honda products,” Mr Davies said.
“When Honda Marine realised an increasing number of boaters wanted programmed EFI in the mid-horsepower range, along with explosive hole shot performance and exceptional fuel economy, design for a revolutionary new model began immediately… now it’s here.
“Honda’s new BF75 and BF90 deliver on all fronts!”
