Honda Outboard Motors: Performance, Efficiency, and Reliability
Honda’s outboard motors deliver a powerful, quiet, and fuel-efficient experience, backed by legendary reliability and modern control systems.
Powerful Performance & Quiet Operation
Honda’s exclusive VTEC technology (on 225 and 250hp models) provides an exceptional blend of power, torque, and fuel economy. The BLAST system ensures instant acceleration and an improved holeshot, while the engine’s design guarantees quiet operation for a more relaxed time on the water.
Superior Fuel Efficiency
Lean Burn Control is a Honda-exclusive technology that saves fuel and extends your range. Enhanced with a new oil pan structure and an O2 sensor, it now delivers better mileage across a wider performance range. PGM-FI, or multi-port Programmed Fuel Injection, ensures easy starts and improved efficiency without compromising power.
Tough Corrosion Resistance
Honda outboards feature a multi-layered paint process and high-corrosion-resistant aluminum alloy for long-lasting durability. The addition of extra anodes and a Fresh Water Flushport further protects the engine from saltwater and debris, ensuring it continues to look and perform like new.
Legendary Reliability
These outboards are built to last, sharing many components and technologies with Honda vehicles. The Extreme Duty Gearcase is designed to withstand demanding use. The Engine Alert System monitors vital functions to prevent damage, and a unique 2-Pass Cooling System increases cooling efficiency for long-term durability. Quality improvements, such as strengthened starter mounts and better gaskets, ensure maximum time on the water. All of this is backed by Honda’s True 5 Warranty, which is the best in the business.
Effortless Control & Easy Ownership
The optional Intelligent Shift and Throttle (iST) system offers superb, intuitive control with ergonomic new controls and features like automatic tilt, trim support, and cruise control. It’s plug-and-play, supporting up to four engines and easily integrating with joystick steering for easier maneuvering and docking. For those who prefer traditional controls, a reliable mechanical system is also available.
Honda makes ownership easy with features like a redesigned engine cover for easy lifting, a repositioned transom bolt hole for simpler installation, and an AMP+ system that increases RPM to provide an extra 9 amps of power at idle, preventing battery drain. Maintenance is also faster and cleaner with a new oil filter position and extended valve adjustment intervals.
