Honda 350 HP V8 Electronic Steering Ultra Long Shaft White Outboard Motor

The Honda BF 350A UDU is a 4-stroke outboard marine engine designed for large fiberglass or aluminum boats, yachts, and professional commercial vessels that require an ultra-long shaft. It features a 350 HP / 257.4 kW and 4952 cc V8 SOHC VTEC PGM-FI engine. The BF 350A UDU, with its 4952 cc V8 SOHC VTEC engine, is optimized for large boats, dual-engine configurations, and professional marine applications.

BF 350A UDU Engine Technology and Key Advantages

The V8 VTEC system prevents power loss at high RPMs, while the PGM-FI electronic injection precisely controls fuel dosage. The 32-valve SOHC structure combines a wide power band with low fuel consumption.

• V8 SOHC VTEC PGM-FI Engine (4952 cc, 8 Cylinders): The V8 VTEC system prevents power loss at high RPMs, while the PGM-FI electronic injection precisely controls fuel dosage.
• Ultra-Long Shaft (635 mm (25")): perfectly matches the transom height of large fiberglass or aluminum boats — the propeller operates at an optimum depth.
• F–N–R Gear System: Forward, neutral, and reverse — full control in tight spaces, docking, and marina maneuvers.
• Electric Start: Instant engagement with a 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 motor lift capability with tilt.
• External Fuel Tank: Range is determined by user needs — comfort for long journeys with an external tank connection.
• White Coating: Absorbs less solar heat compared to standard black alternatives; provides aesthetic harmony.

Ultra-Long Shaft — Which Boat Type is it Suitable For?

The ultra-long shaft (635 mm (25")) keeps the propeller at an optimum water depth on large yachts and professional vessels with deep transom designs. Incorrect shaft selection can either leave the propeller out of the water or cause it to scrape the bottom — confirm your boat's transom measurement before installation.

Maintenance and Longevity

4-stroke Honda engines run problem-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. In saltwater use, freshwater rinsing after each use is mandatory.

Frequently Asked Questions

What boat size is the Honda 350 HP engine suitable for?

350 HP V8 power is generally suitable for large fiberglass or aluminum boats 8 meters and above. In a dual-engine configuration, the total power is doubled. Always check your boat's maximum engine power plate.

What advantages does the PGM-FI injection system offer over a carburetor?

PGM-FI electronic injection provides easy starting in cold weather, consistent power output, and low fuel consumption. Compared to carbureted alternatives, it does not require choke adjustment, and maintenance intervals are longer.

What do electric trim and tilt do?

Electric trim adjusts the boat's angle in the water with a button, optimizing fuel efficiency and cruising comfort. Tilt is used to fully lift the engine — essential for entering shallow waters, docking, and storage.

Which boat and inflatable boat brands are compatible with the BF 350A UDU?

Honda outboard motors are compatible with most 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 635 mm (25") transom height and the maximum engine power approved by the manufacturer. You can get compatibility confirmation from Clever Marin by sharing your boat model.
