Honda 9.9HP Portable Outboard | BF10DK3LH

The Honda BF10DK3LH is a 9.9 hp portable, standard (non-High-Thrust) four-stroke that pairs a 20-inch shaft with hand-tiller control and a pull-cord-only start, weighing 98 pounds, built for a dinghy or small boat that does not need electric start.

Where this one fits

At 20 inches, the shaft suits the common mid-height transom used on most small aluminum and fiberglass boats; a hull with a shorter or taller transom needs a different leg length from elsewhere in this same 9.9 hp series. Keeping throttle, shift, and steering together at the engine via the tiller is the simplest setup for owners who do not want remote cables run through the hull.

Specifications and equipment

This 98-pound engine is a 222cc four-stroke twin, carbureted, with a rev ceiling of 5000-6000 rpm. The pull-cord is the only way to start it, so there is no battery or charging wiring to maintain beyond the built-in charging system for accessories. Included with the engine are the owner's manual, a stop-switch lanyard, the standard propeller, the onboard charging system, and a 3-gallon external tank paired with its fuel line, with Honda's 5-year warranty on the engine itself.

Is this the High Thrust version? No, this is the standard propeller and gearcase, not the High Thrust variant. Does it include power tilt? No, tilt is set by hand on this model.
