Honda BF115DK1LC 115HP 4-Stroke Outboard – 20in Shaft, Counter Rotation

Move up to the Honda BF115DK1LC 115HP 4-Stroke Outboard when a 20-inch-transom boat needs more output, remote steering, and greater electrical capacity than a smaller midrange engine can provide. Its 2,354 cc DOHC four-cylinder, 16-valve engine produces 115 HP for properly rated center consoles, fishing boats, and other compatible recreational hulls. Honda BF115DK1LC uses Programmed Fuel Injection, electric starting, Power Trim and Tilt, and remote steering. The 20-inch shaft is intended for standard long-transom installations.

The 472-pound dry weight should be considered carefully during repower planning, particularly when replacing a smaller engine. Rated output is specified across a 4,500 to 6,000 RPM full-throttle range, with the final propeller selected around the boat’s hull, load, and operating requirements. The 55-amp alternator provides 40 amps of net charging output for supported electronics and accessories. BLAST, Lean Burn Control, and NMEA 2000 compatibility add specified functions for equipped installations.
