Hitch up the boat trailer, load the Honda BF2.3 into the boot and go.
A centrifugal clutch allows the engine to idle without turning the propeller blades. When you want to go, just roll on the power, and the clutch will engage and drive the propeller.
To change direction quickly, the little BF2.3 has a quick swiveling action; perfect for reversing with no gear changing. Just swing the tiller handle through 180˚ and the boat goes backwards. You’ll be able to manoeuvre around a harbour’s tight spots with ease.
The BF2.3 is very light and easy to tilt up out of the water. This prevents damage to the propeller blades when you find yourself in the shallows or at the water’s edge. A spring design allows it to be locked down safely when you’re on the move again.
The BF2.3 engine is the lightest in its class and is so easy to pick up. It’s easy to carry too, with an ergonomic handle positioned at the exact point of balance to allow you to walk normally without feeling any strain.
The twist grip feels remarkably smooth, and comes with a throttle tensioner, which allows you to fix the throttle position – like cruise control – so you can relax your hand and just steer.
Unlike a 2-stroke engine, these 4-strokes are so quiet. They’re also more efficient, and there’s no mixing of oil and petrol, which is bad for the environment. So as you accelerate away to the middle of a lake, up a river or around the coastline at sea, you know that the clean water you’re cutting through stays that way.
A single cylinder 4-stroke that spins freely with the first pull, making it easier to start. It has the latest technology that accurately controls the ignition timing, so when you start – even from cold – the air-cooled BF2.3 will never let you down.
It can build more solid torque to move heavier craft if required. It’s simple to operate, easy to keep clean and needs minimum maintenance. Add Honda reliability, superior fuel efficiency and low emissions, and you’ve got all you need to start out on the water.
