TOKYO, Jan 20, 2025 – (JCN Newswire) – – Honda The Motor Co., Ltd. (NYSE:) today presents the world premiere of the new BF300 large outboard motor at the boot Dusseldorf 2025 (the Dusseldorf Boat Show 2025), held in Dusseldorf, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, from January 18 until 26, 2025. The BF300 will go on sale in Japan, Europe and Asia regions before the end of 2025.

Using the 4,952 cm3 (302 in3) V8 engine developed for the BF350, the flagship model of Honda marine outboards that goes on sale in February 2024, the BF300 delivers powerful performance with a maximum output of 300 horsepower. In addition to exhibiting high performance and seaworthiness achieved with abundant torque, the BF300 is designed to run on regular gasoline despite its high output. In recent years, recreational activities at sea using a large boat have become increasingly popular, mostly in North America and Europe. Against this backdrop, and after the introduction of the BF350, Honda introduced the BF300, another high-output outboard motor, to accommodate the needs of many customers.

The BF300 is equipped with enhanced support features to ensure a smoother and more comfortable boating experience for customers, including new functions that were featured for the first time on the BF350, such as the cruise control function, which makes it possible to cruise at a set boat speed. or engine speed (rpm), as well as the trim support function, which automatically adjusts the trim angle(1) to maintain one of the pre-set patterns. The BF300 also features an automatic tilt function to fully tilt the outboard motor automatically up / down (2), which greatly increases the ease ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​going  waslylylyly–docking and/or store the out Â Â (Â) tilt the outboard motor up/down. In addition, a new structure for the engine cover and oil filter, respectively, is adopted to make attachment and removal easier to reduce the customer’s burden for maintenance.

By updating the ECU function of the base model, which is the BF350, the BF300 has further improved operation comfort. Specifically, when using three outboard motors together, a neutral control function can be added to the engine of the outboard motor positioned in the center to pivot the board in a more stable place. Along with the market launch of the BF300, this function is also scheduled to be installed on the BF350.

As for the styling, while inheriting the “Noble Motion Form” design concept of the BF350, the BF300 features high rigidity configuration features and high quality form. Its refined, slim design adapts to different hull shapes and usage environments.

Honda will continue to offer innovative products that make marine activities fun for customers.
