Performance and Efficiency
Stroke design, based on the Honda Accord - Based on the Honda Accord engine platform, the BF115 benefits from years of proven Honda engineering and reliability.
Dual Overhead CAM (DOHC) - A powerful, compact 16-valve DOHC design creates more valve lift to pull in more air for increased horsepower. Low-maintenance design allows easy adjustment of the rocker arms. No multiple shims or trial-and-error adjusting needed.
BLAST<sup>®</sup> System - Boosted Low Speed Torque, or BLAST<sup>®</sup>, improves acceleration at low speeds. A quick movement of the throttle control activates the BLAST<sup>®</sup> system, advancing the ignition curve aggressively. "Hole Shot" is vastly improved as more horsepower gets the hull up on plane quicker.
Multi-Port Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI<sup>®</sup>) - Programmed Fuel Injection delivers the precise amount of fuel/air to each cylinder. The result is easy starts and instant throttle response with superior fuel efficiency.
Lean Burn Control<sup>®</sup> - Lean Burn Control<sup>®</sup> increases fuel efficiency by allowing combustion to operate on a leaner air/fuel mixture. At cruising speed, this engine runs on up to 19% less fuel* than its predecessor.
- *Based on EPA Specific Fuel Consumption Mode.
Largest Displacement Engine - At 2,354 cc (144 cubic inches), the BF115 iST® has 21% more displacement than any competitor in it's class. The long-stroke design increases torque to deliver outstanding performance and efficiency.
Balanced Engine - Twin counter-rotating balancing shafts help minimize internal engine vibrations, thus providing smooth operation throughout the entire rpm range.
LAF & Knock Sensors - Linear Air Fuel (LAF) and knock sensors help determine correct fuel flow and ignition curve to maximize performance and fuel efficiency.
Engine Command System - The Engine Command Module receives constant input from 18 sensors located throughout the engine. It determines the correct fuel flow and ignition curve, providing optimum performance.
New Intuitive Drive-by-Wire System - The Honda iST® command and control system provides superb control and plug-and-play installation. The system offers all of the features boaters are looking for, including control of multiple engines and two control stations; effortless shift and throttle control; fine tuning of throttle settings at any speed; virtual positioning and anchoring, enhanced docking and slow speed control; return-to-port capability; and simple, easy-to-understand user interface.

Reliability and Durability
3-Way Cooling System - Three separate cooling systems keep the cylinder heads running cooler for long-term durability.
Engine Alert System - Uses visual, audio and rpm reduction circuits to alert the operator of overheating, low oil PSI, over-revving, water in fuel, battery condition, and critical engine functions.
Four-Front Corrosion Protection - A patented, "Double Sealed" multi-layered paint process. Sacrificial anodes and stainless steel technology, along with waterproof connectors and painted interior cooling passages, all enhance corrosion protection.
Fresh Water Flushport - Flushes debris and saltwater out of the engine, extending the life of the outboard.
Stainless Steel (Steering Arm, Tilt Tube and All Shafts) - Stainless steel components provide durability with long-term corrosion resistance.
Warranty - As a testament to their quality and reliability, all Honda engines come with a three-year, non-declining, non-commercial warranty or a one-year commercial warranty.

Convenience and Ease of Use
NMEA 2000 Protocols - NMEA 2000 protocols allow engine data to be interfaced with on-board systems and systems displays, such as sonar or GPS.
High-Output Charging - The system develops 55 total amps, which after self consumption, delivers 40 “charging” amps. 30 amps at 1000 rpm and 40 amps above 2000 rpm.
Variable Speed Trolling - Another great advantage for fisherman is the 115’s optional push-button variable speed trolling control. Simply push up or down in 50 rpm increments from 650 rpm to 900 rpm.
Easy Maintenance - An easy "screw-type" valve adjuster system requires no shims and reduces maintenance costs. Front-mounted oil filter and oil filler make for easy maintenance.
Built-in Pitot Tube (optional built-in Pitot Tube kit required) - Built-in pitot tube in the gear case eliminates the need to drill holes in your boat for installation.
