The Honda BF8DK3LHA is a durable 8 HP long shaft outboard designed for reliability and fuel efficiency. Weighing only 98 lbs, it’s light enough for easy handling but strong enough to push small fishing boats, inflatables, and sailboats.
This twin-cylinder 4-stroke engine offers smooth and quiet performance, with a manual start system for dependable operation in all conditions. The manual tilt adjustment allows for easy positioning in shallow waters, while the PGM-IG ignition system ensures efficient and consistent firing.
Its 6-amp alternator provides charging capability for basic electronics, and the included 4-blade aluminum propeller enhances thrust and control. Saltwater-rated construction and Honda’s reputation for quality make the BF8DK3LHA an excellent choice for boaters who want a tough, low-maintenance outboard.
