The Honda BF 150D LDU is a 4-stroke outboard marine engine designed for medium-sized fiberglass, aluminum, or inflatable boats, 5–7 meters in length, requiring a long shaft. It features a 150 HP / 110 kW, 2354 cc 4-cylinder DOHC PGM-FI engine. The BF 150D LDU, with its 2354 cc 4-cylinder DOHC engine, offers a quiet, efficient, and reliable power source to medium-sized boat users.

BF 150D LDU Engine Technology and Key Advantages

The DOHC (Dual Overhead Camshaft) design precisely controls valve movement with two camshafts. The 16-valve system prevents power loss at high RPMs. PGM-FI electronic injection ensures consistent power output and comfortable cold weather starting.

• 4 Cylinder DOHC PGM-FI Engine (2354 cc, 4 Cylinder): DOHC (Dual Overhead Camshaft) design precisely controls valve movement with two camshafts
• Long Shaft (508 mm (20")): perfect fit for medium-sized fiberglass transoms — propeller operates at optimal depth
• F–N–R Gear System: Forward, neutral, and reverse — full control in tight spaces, at docks, and during marina maneuvers
• Electric Start: Instant activation with key or button — comfortable and quick starting
• Electric Trim and Tilt: Adjust trim angle with a button — optimizes fuel efficiency and speed during navigation; full engine tilt capability

Long Shaft — What Boat Type is it Suitable For?

A long shaft (508 mm (20")) is suitable for the vast majority of inflatable boats, aluminum fishing boats, and small fiberglass boat models. For boats with a transom height of 381 mm, a short shaft model should be preferred.

Frequently Asked Questions

What boat size is the Honda 150 HP engine best suited for?

150 HP power is optimized for medium-sized boats 5–7 meters in length. The 4-cylinder design offers significant advantages over single and twin-cylinder alternatives in terms of load-carrying capacity and open sea conditions.

What difference does the DOHC system make in this power class?

Thanks to its two camshafts, DOHC precisely maintains valve timing even at high RPMs. The 16-valve design increases combustion efficiency — more power with the same fuel.

What is the advantage of electric trim?

Electric trim allows you to adjust the engine angle with a button according to boat speed and load. The correct trim angle can significantly reduce fuel consumption. The ability to make instant adjustments during navigation offers a great comfort difference compared to manual trim models.

Which boat and inflatable boat brands are compatible with the BF 150D LDU?

Honda outboard engines are compatible with the vast majority of Zodiac, Ribeye, Highfield, Bombard, Sea Eagle, and local brand inflatable boats, thanks to their universal transom clamp system. The only criteria are your boat's 508 mm (20") transom height and the maximum engine power approved by the manufacturer. You can get compatibility confirmation from Clever Marin by sharing your boat model.
