Honda 15HP Power Thrust Portable Outboard | BFP15D3XRT

Swap the tiller handle for a wheel and the BFP15D3XRT is what Honda builds: the same Power Thrust lower unit and propeller as its tiller-steered sibling, now controlled by remote mechanical steering for a boat rigged with a console. Power Thrust's payoff, per Honda, is 15 percent more push going forward and 60 percent more in reverse than the standard 15 hp propeller. At 131 pounds, it fires up on a push button with a manual cord in reserve, and carries power tilt alongside its 25-inch shaft. Rigging to have in place Remote mechanical steering here calls for a wheel, cable, and control box already wired into the boat; there's no handle at the motor to fall back on if that hardware isn't installed. The 350cc, two-cylinder, carbureted engine underneath matches the rest of Honda's 15 hp line, its full throttle band falling between 4500 and 5500 rpm. Shaft length to confirm This is the 25-inch, long-shaft option in Honda's 15 hp family, intended for a deeper transom than the shorter version; measure before you buy rather than assume it will fit. What ships with it Included here are the Power Thrust propeller, the charging system, a fuel tank sized at 3 gallons with its line, and power tilt gear, plus the owner's manual. Does this version steer with a tiller handle? No. Is the propeller the same as the tiller-steered Power Thrust model? Yes.
