Honda’s True 5 Warranty is the best in the business. This transferable, non-declining warranty is the same on the first day as it is on the last.
4-FRONT CORROSION PROTECTION SYSTEM – FIGHTS THE ELEMENTS
A patented, “Double Sealed” multi-layered paint process. Sacrificial anodes and stainless steel technology, along with waterproof connectors, all enhance corrosion protection.
DOUBLE ALERTS PROTECT YOUR ENGINE
A Low Oil Alert combined with an RPM reduction feature protects the engine from severe damage if the oil reaches a low pressure.
SHALLOW WATER DRIVE
An innovative shallow water drive feature lets you tilt the motor up, allowing you to easily operate in shallow areas. Shallow water drive greatly reduces the risk of engine damage.
F-N-R GEARSHIFT
The BF5 features full forward, neutral, and reverse shifting. A safety lockout system allows the engine to be started in neutral gear only.
POSITIVE LUBRICATION – BETTER DURABILITY
A crankshaft-driven, automotive-style trochoid oil pump ensures the long-term durability of critical engine components.
