Honda Portable Outboard 2.3HP Boat Gas Motor - 15in Shaft

The best way to think about the Honda Portable Outboard 2.3HP boat gas motor is big power in a small package. When it comes to portable light-weight power, it doesn't get any better than the Honda Portable Outboard 2.3HP gas-powered four-stroke outboard. The Honda 2.3HP is so light, and so powerful, that is beats out similar two-stroke 2HP electric motors. In fact, the Honda 2.3HP outboard has about 15 percent more power than most similiar motors in its class. With an internal gas tank that is about 12% larger than its predecessor, the Honda 2.3HP can operate for an hour at full throttle.

The Honda Portable 2.3HP outboard weighs less than 30 pounds and has a front mounted carrying handle making it extremely easy to transport, carry and install. It's ideal for zodiacs, dinghys, jon boats, and other small water craft including kayaks. If you need to travel compact, and want to have a boat motor that's easy to transport, it really doesn't get any more convenient than the Honda BF2.3 outboard.

Unlike other gas powered outboards, the BF2.3 is quiet and smooth. It's almost like having an electric motor but without the battery. Best of all, you maintain the power of a gas engine. On a small tender you can expect the Honda 2.3 HP to get you to top speed of 5-11 mph. On a small Honwave T20ESE (6.5') the BF2.3 is able to reach a top speed of 10.4 mph.

Alan Simmons, national manager at Honda Marine, aptly characterizes the BF2.3 as a "powerful, dependable and fuel-efficient giant." It truly provides enhanced performance for an all around better boating experience.

For the avid angler, the new BF2.3 offers one very exciting benefit—the ability to run in the shallows. A shorter shaft, and lack of a water pump, eliminates tangling and clogging from weeds and sand, whereby allowing you to get in close to where the fish are holding.
