The Honda BF 10 DK2 SHSU is a 4-stroke outboard marine engine designed for inflatable boats, small aluminum boats, and sailboat auxiliary motor applications requiring a short shaft. It features a 10 HP / 7.4 kW, 222 cc 2-cylinder OHC water-cooled engine. The 2-cylinder OHC configuration offers smoother power delivery, less vibration, and quieter operation compared to single-cylinder alternatives.
The 222 cc 2-cylinder OHC (Overhead Camshaft) engine reduces vibration and balances power output with more frequent ignition. The water-cooled system ensures stable operating temperatures during extended use. At 45.5 KG, it offers a balanced power-to-weight ratio in the short shaft category.
A short shaft (381 mm / 15") is suitable for standard inflatable boats and small aluminum boat transom heights. It should not be confused with the long shaft model — an incorrect choice will prevent the propeller from reaching the correct depth.

The impeller of the water-cooled system should be checked every 100 hours or every two seasons. After each use in saltwater, freshwater flushing is mandatory. The 4-stroke design requires oil changes — we recommend an oil change after the first 50 hours.

It is suitable for all inflatable boat and aluminum boat models with a transom height of 381 mm (15"). It provides the most efficient use for inflatable boats ranging from 2.5–4 meters in length. Confirm your boat's transom height from the manufacturer's brochure.
The BF 10's 2-cylinder OHC structure provides less vibration and smoother power delivery with more frequent ignition intervals compared to the BF 6's single-cylinder OHV engine. The 222 cc versus 127 cc displacement difference offers a noticeable advantage in carrying capacity and against headwinds.
The electric start system engages the starter motor with a turn of the key. The battery load is lower than a fully electric system. A rope-pull manual backup is available — allowing for reliable starting if the battery dies.
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 manufacturer-approved maximum engine power.
Share your boat model, transom height, and intended use — let's verify together if the Honda BF 10 DK2 SHSU engine is suitable for your boat and ensure the correct shaft selection.
Honda's BLAST (Boosted Low Speed Torque) system optimizes ignition timing at low revs, generating extra torque during takeoff and acceleration. This allows for faster recovery, especially when maneuvering under load. This results in a safe and controlled ride in both fishing boats and long-hulled fiberglass vessels.
With Lean Burn Control
Intelligent Fuel Management
Lean Burn Control measures the engine's required combustion mixture in real time at cruising speed, applying a more refined combustion profile. This significantly reduces fuel consumption on long journeys, while also keeping the engine cooler and more stable. It offers a noticeable advantage in terms of range, especially for summer boaters and commercial vessels.
Multilayer Honda
Corrosion Protection
Honda Marine hulls are protected by a multi-layer electroplating system developed to withstand saltwater and humid environments. The aluminum alloy block, zinc anodes, and special surface coatings work together to delay corrosion for years. Even in boats that spend a lot of time at sea, the engine's exterior and internal components remain durable, extending maintenance intervals.
