The Honda BF 6 DH LHNU is a 4-stroke outboard marine engine designed for inflatable boats, small fiberglass or wooden boats, and 2-3.5 meter boats that require a long shaft, featuring a 6 HP / 4.4 kW and 127 cc 1-cylinder OHV water-cooled carbureted engine. With its 127 cc OHV engine, the BF 6 DH LHNU offers reliable 4-stroke power to small boat and inflatable boat users with its simple and proven mechanical structure.
The OHV (Overhead Valve) design ensures efficient combustion by positioning the valves in the cylinder head. With a weight of 27.5 KG, single-person transport and transom mounting are possible. The 1.5 L internal tank eliminates the need for an external fuel tank for daily use.
The 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.

Honda 4-stroke engines run smoothly 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.

Yes, the Honda BF 6 DH series comes standard with an F–N–R (Forward / Neutral / Reverse) gearbox. It offers a significant control advantage in narrow dock maneuvers and docking compared to gearless alternatives.
With a 6 HP engine in a 2.5–3 meter inflatable boat, a speed of approximately 8–14 knots is expected. Boat weight, number of occupants, and wind conditions directly affect the speed. In economical use, fuel consumption is below 1 liter per hour.
It is sufficient for short-distance and daily use. It offers approximately 1 hour of autonomy at full power. At half throttle, it generally suffices for daily fishing trips. For long routes, an external tank connection is recommended.
Honda outboard engines are compatible with the vast majority of inflatable boats from brands like Zodiac, Ribeye, Highfield, Bombard, Sea Eagle, and local brands, thanks to their universal transom clamp system. The only criteria are your boat's transom height of 508 mm (20") and the maximum engine power approved by the manufacturer. You can get compatibility confirmation from Clever Marin by sharing your boat model.
Share your boat model, transom height, and intended use — let's verify together if the Honda BF 6 DH LHNU engine is suitable for your boat and the correct shaft choice.
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.
