2019 Honda 5 HP BF5DHSHNA Outboard Motor

Built on a short, 15-inch shaft rather than the long-shaft layout elsewhere in this family, the 2019 BF5DHSHNA is a 127cc single-cylinder tiller motor with manual starting and manual trim and tilt. SKU BF5DHSHNA-19. Why the short shaft matters A shaft this length sits lower in the water, so it fits a boat with a lower transom height; mounting the wrong length pulls a propeller too shallow or too deep and hurts steering feel either way. The internal fuel tank holds 1.5 liters and takes an external connector, and full throttle climbs to 5000-6000 rpm on this single-cylinder block. Measuring up Measure the transom carefully before choosing this short-shaft listing over a longer-shaft version in the same family; the underlying block, ignition, and gearing are otherwise close. The gearcase carries a saltwater rating and a 2.08-to-1 reduction across forward, neutral, and reverse, turning a three-blade aluminum propeller. The 6-amp alternator installs as an optional add-on rather than standard equipment. What's included The box covers a tool kit, an owner's manual, and the aluminum propeller, under Honda's factory warranty, at a listed dry weight of 59.5 pounds. Q: Is this the long-shaft or short-shaft 5 HP? Short-shaft, at 15 inches, which is the shorter of the two shaft lengths Honda sells on this block.
