Based on a 1.5L inline-4 engine, the Honda BF100AK1 incorporates advanced technologies like VTEC, PGM-FI fuel injection, and Lean Burn control to achieve top-tier performance. VTEC varies the valve timing to broaden the power band – delivering strong mid-range torque and impressive top-end speed. The programmed fuel injection (PGM-FI), combined with Honda’s ECOmo lean burn system, allows the BF100 to run with up to 20% less fuel consumption at cruising speeds without sacrificing power.
The BF100 is engineered with a three-way cooling system to maintain steady operating temperatures and ensure reliability under heavy loads. Its high-output 35A alternator keeps the battery charged and all onboard electronics powered even while trolling at low RPM. The hydrodynamic gear case reduces drag and splashing, improving both acceleration and top speed. Plus, Honda’s multi-layer corrosion protection – including double-sealed paint, sacrificial anodes, and waterproof connectors – safeguards the engine in saltwater conditions and extends its longevity.
As with all Honda outboards, the BF100AK1 comes with a 5-year residential warranty, providing the owner with added peace of mind and confidence in the engine’s long-term durability.
- Recommended Uses: Well-suited for boats around 5–6 meters in length (such as RIBs, center-console sport boats, and coastal fishing vessels) where a balance of strong acceleration, high top-end speed, and fuel efficiency is desired.
- Variants: Available in Long (20″) and Extra-Long (25″) shaft versions, making it adaptable to standard or taller transoms as well as twin-engine installations. For added style, Honda offers this model in its signature silver or an optional white edition (on select versions) to better match your boat’s appearance.
