Why the Honda BF2.3 S Type Stands Out

The BF2.3 is designed around simplicity and portability. When you need auxiliary power without hauling around a larger, heavier outboard, this compact Honda is an excellent solution.

Key Features & Highlights

• 2.3HP Honda four-stroke engine
• Compact, lightweight portable design
• S Type short-shaft configuration
• Easy to carry, transport, and store
• No gasoline/oil premixing required
• Simple tiller steering
• Direct, predictable throttle control

• Excellent choice for dinghies, tenders, inflatables, and small boats
• Convenient option for recreational and auxiliary applications

Compact Honda Four-Stroke Power

The BF2.3 brings Honda four-stroke technology to one of the smallest outboard categories.

For boaters, that means straightforward operation without the need to mix gasoline and two-stroke oil. Fill it with the appropriate fuel, maintain the engine according to Honda's recommendations, and you have a compact power source designed for dependable recreational use.

Its modest horsepower also makes it especially well suited to lightweight boats where portability and maneuverability matter more than outright speed.

Built for Portability

Portability is one of the biggest reasons to choose the BF2.3.

A small outboard is often removed from the boat after use, carried between a vehicle and the water, or stored when not needed. The BF2.3's compact dimensions and lightweight design make those everyday tasks considerably easier than with larger outboards.

Great Applications for the BF2.3

The BF2.3 can be an excellent choice for appropriately rated:

• Dinghies
• Tenders
• Inflatables
• Small jon boats
• Lightweight utility boats
• Car-top boats
• Sailboat auxiliary applications
• Campground and marina use

Always confirm your boat manufacturer's horsepower, transom, shaft-length, and engine-weight requirements before selecting an outboard.

S Type Short-Shaft Configuration

The S Type is the short-shaft version of the BF2.3, designed for compatible boats requiring that configuration.

Choosing the correct shaft length is important because the outboard's propeller and lower unit need to sit at the proper depth relative to the hull.

If you aren't sure which shaft length your boat requires, Heartland Honda can help you evaluate the transom and application before you purchase.

Simple Tiller Control

Small boats benefit from simple controls, and the BF2.3 keeps operation straightforward with a tiller-style setup.

Direct steering makes maneuvering around docks, marinas, coves, and other confined areas intuitive. It also eliminates the complexity and space requirements of a remote steering system, which makes sense for the lightweight boats this motor is designed to power.

An Excellent Tender & Dinghy Motor

The BF2.3 is particularly attractive for boaters looking for a small tender or dinghy outboard.

Its portability makes it easier to move between the boat and storage, while its four-stroke design eliminates fuel mixing. For boaters who primarily need reliable transportation between a larger vessel and shore, those characteristics can be more valuable than additional horsepower.
