Honda BF2.3 outboard motor review

First and foremost I loved making this video. Even though now "06/14/2020" I currently own a Tohatsu 6hp and no longer have the Honda I can say it was a great little motor. It is by no means a fast motor but it gets the job when you just want to troll around the lake or river at a leisurely pace. Keep in mind that if you're looking to go faster and higher hp outboard is needed. Thank you for watching and be safe in the water.

I live on a little houseboat and I row all over the place. Some neighbors gave me they're 2.3 Honda motor. They plan on getting a bigger one for their inflatable dinghy. God bless them, this will save me a lot of back pain. And the time. I enjoyed your video and it was encouraging. Thanks!

Hi Erick, I just wanted to say that your video is one of the most comprehensive I've seen on this little outboard motor. I just finished doing a short service on this model for a friend who had left it in his shed for the last 3 years. After a carb clean/oil change and new spark plug it's now running like new, absolutely bulletproof little motor. Thumbs up from Northern Ireland 🇬🇧 ATB... Billy.

There are some reasons. For one they are slow and second they make some noise. They are super reliable though that's for sure. For cruising around they are perfect.

@58landman 4 года назад

I got one of these things with my Twin Troller and I'll say it's a cute little thing. Then I got to the point of adding oil to the engine. You'd think a simple funnel would do but hell no...you have to have a funnel with a bendable neck. In short, it took me 45 minutes to get the right amount of oil into the thing with a lot of spillage for all of my efforts. I also read my simple directions and could find no comment in the book about the motor coming with gear oil in the lower unit and I need to check that before I try to run the friggin thing. Also, it's air cooled so from what I can tell there is not a water pee-hole like you see on most outboards. This motor has nothing but undignified reviews on Amazon and I hope that mine is an exception.

@ErickMartinSucre 4 года назад

It does come with gear oil. It is reliable but I ended up getting a 6hp Tohatsu and a 9.9 Merc. My main issue was the plastic propeller. The shear pin has a tendency to bend or break.

I got it for some work I did for a buddy who had it on his dinghy. All I had to do is rebuild the carburetor and it starts first time every pull Unless I run out of gas. Then it takes two or three. A great little outboard in my opinion. I call it my putt putt.

fun and cool review!

@ErickMartinSucre 2 года назад

Thank you! It was a very first little petrol outboard. I eventually sold it and got a 6hp Tohatsu.

Love my 6hp. I got a 9.8hp as well but I see myself using the 6hp more often.

220 pound, for a 2.hp? Sounds to be you're getting a 200hp model instead

Erick I just wanted to say when you shut off the fuel to run the engine dry, after the engine stops, choke the carburetor and then try to start it again, it might run a bit more to get all the fuel out of the carburetor, for long time storage, a marine mechanic told me that thanks good video

@ErickMartinSucre 5 месяцев назад

Yeah, been doing that since I got my 6hp Tohatsu, and my 12hp Hangkai. I remove the fuel line and allow the engine to burn the gas in the carb. Makes it easier for transport and storage.

@frankmayer1565 6 лет назад

I'm sold! Going to buy one for my 10' Twin - Troller.

@ErickMartinSucre 6 лет назад

Haha!! You're gonna love this little motor. Although I sold it and purchased a Tohatsu 6hp, that little motor took me everywhere. Even though it is not a fast motor, you can be sure that you'll have a small motor for literally decades. Those motors do not die

@johncollins7044 6 лет назад

Frank Mayer , Make sure to consider an extension throttle so you can sit in the middle of your TT. I have a TT also and the seats make it ackward (because you are sitting high) to steer the TT with your hand behind your back. The throttle will also hit the back of your seat, so you have to find the correct position to steer freely. I hated the struggle at first but I got use to it.

@ErickMartinSucre 6 лет назад

That's a good advice 8-)

@daviddysart8180 5 лет назад

I am heading out on the water today and just got this motor. I also have a TT and have been using a Lehr propane 2.5. It's an ok little motor but I am always smelling propane and now it is leaking oil. So I will keep it stowed away for now... can't wait to try this Honda motor out today... also the Lehr doesn't have much torque. we will see...

@DaveFer 4 года назад

Hey, very well-done and informative review! Thanks. What about shat length? It was sold to me as both/either 15” or 20” (configurable for either length). Is that true?

@ErickMartinSucre 4 года назад

To the best of my understanding you can buy it either 15 or 20. You'll want 15 inch for your average vessel. 20 for sail boats and things like that

@RC-bl2pm 4 года назад

Hey thank you for this very well done review. Helps me with my choice. I had a merc 3, it was a comparable engine. It had troubles with the carb like I needed to get the shop to clean it to prevent stalling every season because the ports are just so tiny. I tried to clean it my self but it was too small, the shop uses a vibratory cleaner. Any feedback as time has passed?

@ErickMartinSucre 4 года назад

Hello there and thanks for watching. The little motor served me well but I eventually sold it. I currently run with a Tohatsu 6hp with a 7.8x7 propeller.

@ErickMartinSucre 4 года назад

I always run the motor dry of gasoline. I unplug the fuel line and let the engine use up all the gasoline in the carb. Helps prevent gum up

@tedfinkenauer42 6 лет назад

Excellent demo. Top-notch video appreciate it. Two questions though one does it have a reverse to where did you find it for around $700 thank you

@ErickMartinSucre 6 лет назад

Ted Finkenauer Thank you! Yes it does, you just turn it around 180 degrees and it creates the reverse motion. I bought it at a local marine shop that was having a sale. With taxes and all was about 800

@LostCaper 6 лет назад

If honda has taken these bf off the market I wonder what they are selling now.

@ErickMartinSucre 6 лет назад

Thankfully there are plenty of alternatives that are just as good. You have Tohatsu, Coleman, Mariner, Nissan, Parsun and Yamaha.

@LostCaper 6 лет назад

Thanks. I will look into this. I am a honda man but I seen somebody wrote that the the new BF are having trouble so that is a last thing I want is to have trouble. I live in a very rural area and you are 1 hours away from a dealer.

@ErickMartinSucre 6 лет назад

I actually sold the BF2.3 mainly because I needed something faster. I purchased a Tohatsu 6hp outboard and I am very happy with it. Apparently Tohatsu is the one that makes the outboards below 50hp for both Nissan and Mariner.

@rapidoutdoors2570 4 года назад

You mentioned the engine was loud since it is air cooled. Is there any everyday item you could compare it to volume wise? I am considering it as a kicker motor on my boat for trolling but if its too loud i will not want to listen to it for 2-3 hours! From 5 feet away from the engine could 2 people have a conversation at a normal volume?

@ErickMartinSucre 4 года назад

You could have aconversation but you'll notice it without a doubt. At 5 feet it should not be bad.

Hello Eric how many feet is your ka boat? With Honda 2.3 motors on it.. planning to buy one this summer. I live in upstate New York so rounded by mountains and many small lakes.

@ErickMartinSucre 5 лет назад

Hello there and thanks for watching! This one is a SK396 Kaboat from Boatstogo.com and it is 12 feet long.

@glenngoodman2803 3 года назад

Nice video Erick. I have a 19 foot keelboat weighing around 1500lb, do you think this has the power to drive my boat in tidal waters? Also how much does the engine weigh? Thanks

@ErickMartinSucre 3 года назад

You'll probably need the kicker model that has a longer shaft
