Honda Marine's BF15 and BF20 portable outboards are as convenient as you can get. At just 104 pounds, they are among the lightest in their class. Yet they're all Honda DNA: quiet, reliable, fuel-efficient, and loaded with features. Like the highest output charging system in their class, giving you plenty of power for all your electronics, even when trolling. Add in easy one-hand starting, shallow water drive, power tilt, and much more, and you've got the ideal combination of power and portability.
