Features

EASY HANDLING

For increased control and reduced steering effort, the BF8 features a large gear shift lever located at the front of the engine. This convenient Forward Mount Shift Lever allows fingertip shifting, while a Twist Grip Throttle and Tensioner ensures superior throttle friction, minimising driver fatigue and enhancing manoeuvrability.

REVERSE EXHAUST RELIEF

Exhaust gases are diverted away from the propeller while in reverse, allowing the propeller to run in clean water.

POWER THRUST OPTION (UPGRADED FOUR BLADE PROPELLER)

A Power Thrust propeller is also available for the BF8. This propeller has been matched to ensure the BF8 can be installed on and be more suited for use on heavier, slower moving displacement type craft.

 LIGHTWEIGHT DESIGN

  • The BF8 is one of the lightest four-stroke engine in its class. This allows convenient transport and easy mounting to any hull.
  • Convenient foldaway handle positioned at the exact balance point of each engine makes it easy to carry the outboard in a level position.
  • Convenient Forward Mount Shift Lever allows fingertip shifting, while a Twist Grip Throttle and tensioner ensures superior throttle friction, minimising driver fatigue.
  • High Output Charging – 12amp (electric start) and 6amp (manual start) outlets maintain battery charge and keep electronics powered, even at trolling speed.
  • 4-Front Corrosion Protection. A patented, ‘double-sealed’ multi-layered paint process. Sacrificial anodes and stainless steel technology, along with waterproof connectors, all enhance corrosion protection.
