2019 Honda 8 HP BF8DK3LHA Outboard Motor

Honda's 2019 BF8DK3LHA is an 8 HP, two-cylinder, 222cc four-stroke built in Japan, with tiller steering and manual pull-start, at a listed dry weight of 98.0 pounds. SKU BF8DK3LHA-19. What two cylinders add over the smaller portables The extra cylinder and displacement give this motor more low-end pull than a single-cylinder portable, while PGM-IG ignition and a SOHC, two-valve-per-cylinder head keep it running smoothly through a 4500-5500 rpm full-throttle range. A 3.0-gallon tank with a quick-connect fuel line replaces a small internal reserve, and the alternator here is a standing 76-watt unit rather than an optional add-on. Specs worth checking before you buy At 20 inches, this is Honda's long-shaft tiller version of this block; check the transom calls for that length before ordering. The gearcase is saltwater rated and turns 2.33-to-1 through forward, neutral, and reverse, spinning a four-blade aluminum propeller. Fuel runs 86-octane unleaded only, and Honda separately offers a Power Thrust version of this block that this standard listing does not include. What comes with it Honda's True 5 warranty backs the engine, and features include an engine alert system, auto start enrichment, a longer tiller handle, and an integrated carrying handle for transport. Q: Does the alternator need a separate installation? No, the 76-watt alternator is standard equipment on this model, not an add-on.
