The Honda BF 20 DK2 SHU is a 4-stroke outboard marine engine designed for small fiberglass, aluminum, or inflatable boats (2.5–4.5 meters) that require a short shaft. It features a 20 HP / 14.7 kW, 350 cc, 2-cylinder OHC carburetor engine. The BF 20 DK2 SHU, with its 350 cc 2-cylinder OHC engine, offers smoother power delivery and less vibration compared to single-cylinder alternatives.
BF 20 DK2 SHU Engine Technology and Key Advantages
The 2-cylinder OHC design reduces vibration and balances power output with a more frequent firing interval. With a portable weight of 46.5 KG, it provides a balanced power-to-weight ratio in this power class.
- 2-Cylinder OHC Carburetor Engine (350 cc, 2 Cylinders): The 2-cylinder OHC structure reduces vibration and balances power output with a more frequent firing interval.
- Short Shaft (381 mm (15")): Perfectly matches the transom height of small fiberglass boats — the propeller operates at an optimal depth.
- F–N–R Gear System: Forward, neutral, and reverse — complete control for maneuvering in tight spaces, docks, and marinas.
- Manual Pull Start: Independent of battery and electricity — mechanical reliability, ready to operate in all conditions.
- Manual Trim: Manually adjust the transom angle — simple and reliable mechanical structure, independent of electricity.
- 12-Liter Internal Tank: Sufficient capacity for medium-distance routes; option for external tank connection for longer voyages.
Short Shaft — What Boat Type Is It Suitable For?
The short shaft (381 mm (15")) is suitable for the vast majority of standard inflatable boats, small fiberglass, and aluminum boat transom heights. It should not be confused with the long shaft model — an incorrect choice will place the propeller at the wrong depth.

Maintenance and Longevity
Honda 4-stroke engines operate trouble-free for many years with regular oil changes and end-of-season maintenance protocols. The impeller of the water-cooled system should be checked every 100 hours or every two seasons. After every use in saltwater, freshwater rinsing is mandatory.

Frequently Asked Questions
What boat size does the Honda 20 HP engine fit?
20 HP power is the optimized range for 2.5–4.5 meter inflatable boats and small aluminum boats. The most efficient performance is achieved in boats with a total weight between 200–400 kg.
How much better is a 2-cylinder OHC engine compared to single-cylinder alternatives?
Two cylinders produce less vibration and smoother power output due to a more frequent firing interval. This difference is noticeable, especially at full throttle and in headwind conditions. The 4-stroke design, which does not require oil-gas mixture, provides low maintenance costs.
How does the Manual Pull Start system work?
The manual pull start does not require a battery or electrical system. It provides mechanical reliability, ready to operate in all conditions.
Which boat and inflatable boat brands is the BF 20 DK2 SHU compatible with?
Honda outboard motors 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 381 mm (15") transom height and the maximum engine power approved by the manufacturer. You can get compatibility confirmation from Clever Marin by sharing your boat model.
