Honda BF10DK3LH 9.9HP Outboard – 20in Shaft, Tiller, Electric Start

Choose the Honda BF10DK3LH 9.9HP Outboard when a utility boat needs a 20-inch shaft and simple tiller control without the added equipment of a remote steering system. Its 222 cc inline two-cylinder SOHC 4-stroke engine produces 9.9 HP at 5,000 RPM, giving a properly rated boat useful propulsion for fishing, tender work, shoreline travel, and routine utility use. Honda BF10DK3LH is a manual-start portable outboard with a single carburetor, 6-amp alternator, and manual tilt. The long-shaft configuration is intended for compatible 20-inch transoms.

The 93-pound dry weight makes the motor suitable for owners who need to move, store, or install the engine without handling a larger high-output unit. Its full-throttle range of 5,000 to 6,000 RPM provides a reference for checking propeller selection after the boat is rigged. Direct tiller operation keeps steering and throttle control at the motor, while the manual tilt system allows the lower unit to be raised when the operating situation requires additional clearance. Confirm transom height, hull rating, load capacity, and propeller fitment before installation.
