Honda 2.3hp Portable Outboard BF2.3D3SCH

The Honda 2.3hp Portable Outboard BF2.3D3SCH proves that serious performance can come in a compact package. As one of the lightest four-stroke outboards in the world, it rivals many 2hp two-stroke engines—without smoke, oil mixing, or batteries.

Engineered by Honda, the BF2.3 delivers 15% more power than its predecessor, combined with a 12% larger internal fuel tank that allows up to one hour of operation at wide open throttle. This makes it an ideal solution for dinghies, tenders, small inflatables, and sailboats where portability and reliability are critical.

Unlike water-cooled outboards, the BF2.3 uses a forced air cooling system, eliminating concerns about water pump maintenance and making it especially suitable for shallow or debris-filled waters.
