Honda 150HP | BF150DLRA

The Honda BF150DLRA is a new 150 hp four-stroke outboard on a 20-inch shaft with remote mechanical steering, the standard-finish option at this horsepower built for a shorter transom.

Shaft and steering

Check your transom for a 20-inch shaft fit before ordering this motor rather than estimating from the boat's length alone. Remote mechanical steering runs off a cable and wheel, so this suits a console-steered boat rather than a tiller-handled one at the stern. Four cylinders give 2354cc of displacement, EFI supplies the fuel, and the starter is electric rather than a pull cord. Shaft length is fixed at the factory on this model, so it is not something you can adjust later.

Running range and weight

Honda's rating for full-throttle operation on this motor sits between 5000 and 6000 rpm, with a listed weight of 472 lbs, among the lighter options in Honda's 150 hp lineup thanks to the shorter shaft. That makes it a reasonable pick when transom height, not raw output, is the limiting factor on your boat.

Common questions

Does a propeller come with it? No, order one separately for your boat and typical load.

What's standard equipment? This motor rounds out its equipment with a charging system, powered trim and tilt, a port that flushes the block with fresh water, an owner's manual, and Honda's 5-year warranty.
