Inspired by the same precision manufacturing and reliability that powers Honda automobiles, the new BF350 V8 outboard exemplifies Honda’s commitment to achieving high performance, fuel efficiency, and environmental excellence. The design of the newest 350-horsepower outboard boasts an ultra-slim silhouette that complements various hull shapes.
The BF350 offers a sleek design that is available in Aquamarine Silver and Grand Prix White. This new outboard, with its 302 cubic-inch displacement and VTEC variable valve timing and lift, delivers a broader, flatter torque curve, ensuring smoother power delivery across the entire operating range. Lean Burn Control automatically adjusts the air/fuel mixture according to speed and load, maximizing power throughout the acceleration range. The Honda iST (Intelligent Shift and Throttle) drive-by-wire command system incorporates an intuitive top-mount controller with five buttons for control of functions including trim support, automatic tilt, cruise control, and trolling mode. The BF350 V8 integrates with Dometic’s Optimus 360 joystick steering. Offered in Aquamarine Silver and Grand Prix White. MSRP $33,630 (25-inch, Aquamarine Silver). FS
