Honda Marine has just unveiled the brand new Honda BF300 V8 outboard engine at the Boot Dusseldorf, the world's largest indoor boat show. This new outboard engine is the result of years of research and innovation by Honda in the marine sector. The BF300 features 8 V-cylinders with a 60° angle and a total displacement of 5 liters. Equipped with VTEC technology, this engine electronically controls valve timing and lift to provide immediate acceleration, minimal noise, and vibrations, ensuring a comfortable boating experience.
Katsuhisa Okuda, Chief Officer and President of Honda Motor Europe, stated, "Honda BF300 V8 represents our commitment to offering the best in terms of innovation and reliability in the boating world. A powerful yet efficient engine that not only provides excellent performance and technological innovation for boaters but also enhances ease of use."
The new BF300 incorporates advanced technologies developed by Honda Marine, such as the BLASTT M system, which ensures strong torque even at low speeds, and the ECOmo technology designed to optimize fuel consumption during cruising. The VTECT M technology provides an extra power boost when needed by varying the intake valve phasing. The Honda BF300 V8 is designed to offer unmatched boating experience in any condition.
Available in Silver Aquamarine and Grand Prix White colors, the Honda BF300 V8 is designed to minimize aerodynamic and hydrodynamic resistance, striking a perfect balance between aesthetics and performance. The outboard engine's sleek silhouette is complemented by three-dimensional chrome logos, adding to its allure.
Following Honda's tradition, the BF300 combines extraordinary performance with exceptional user-friendliness, maximizing enjoyment during every sea outing. Features like Cruise Control ensure a relaxing navigation experience, while the Tilt Limit function protects the engine during docking. Additionally, the Trim Support system automatically adjusts the engine tilt during navigation for optimal performance, fuel efficiency, and impeccable maneuverability.
The intuitive control of these functions in the Honda BF300 V8 is made easy with the new flush-mounted electronic throttle and shift system iST (Intelligent Shift and Throttle) and a multifunction panel with 5 buttons for precise and immediate command. The newly designed 7-inch multifunction display enhances the practicality and readability of engine information, allowing easy setting and monitoring of crucial parameters like Trim Support, Tilt Limit, and Cruise Control.
The unveiling of the new Honda BF300 V8 marks another step in expanding the range of high-power outboard engines, offering shipyards and boat owners an increasingly diverse selection.
