HONDA BF 5 LHU Outboard Motor Short Shaft 3.7 kW 5 HP 127 cm³

The Honda BF5 LHU is an outboard motor powerful enough to take you to coastal waters on an inflatable boat or dinghy. Lightweight to transport, it includes ergonomic handles and can be easily stored in the trunk of your car.

The Honda BF5 LHU outboard motor is a 4-stroke, single-cylinder, top-valve engine. It's easy to start with a manual system that allows the engine to turn freely right away. The outboard motors feature the most advanced technology that precisely controls the ignition timing, so when you start it, even from cold, it will start without hesitation. The air-cooled BF5 LHU model offers great maneuverability with 360° rotation and a built-in fuel-saving space tank. Easy to transport wherever you want to go.


It's very important for a small boat to be agile and able to change direction quickly. The small Honda BF5 LHU has a quick-turning action, which is perfect for reversing without shifting gears. Simply rotate the rudder 180° and the boat can move in reverse. You'll be able to maneuver around tight spots in a harbor with ease.

These Honda BF5 LHU outboards are the lightest in their class, so it's no wonder they're easy to remove. They have been made easier to carry, with an ergonomic handle positioned at the right balance point, allowing you to walk normally without strain.

First the aluminium housing is anodised using Honda's patented 'double seal' process (1). Then a coat of epoxy primer is applied (2) before the high gloss silver paint (3). As further UV protection, a clear resin is applied as a finish (4). For added safety, a sacrificial anode is applied to all waterproof connectors.
