Honda BF5 LU 5hp four stroke outboard

Honda BF5

Honda BF5 LU outboard Motor

The Honda BF5 is an incredibly popular and user friendly engine, and we believe it offers the following advantages:

The Honda BF5 is a tried and tested engine that has been at the heart of the Honda marine line up for many years. The BF5 SU, BF5 LU, and BF5 LBU models are all well suited for use powering an inflatable tender, rigid tender, rowing boat and even small river cruisers (please call for advice on suitability).

Honda do not make a Honda 4hp outboard motor, or Honda BF4, the Honda 5 is the next engine up from the Honda 2.3.

Being a four stroke the Honda 5 runs off standard unleaded fuel (the same as you put in your car), so no more mixing of fuel, a smoky exhaust and high fuel consumption.

Honda offer a class leading 5 year warranty for domestic use (subject to getting the engine serviced each year at any Honda marine dealer).

How do I buy one?

How do I mail order a Honda 5hp outboard?

Ely Boat Chandlers are a Honda marine sales, service and repair dealership, buying an engine from us means you are getting the benefit of our experience of outboard engines new and old, so you can be confident we will advise you to the best of our ability on which Honda product will best meet your needs.

1) Give us a call on 01353 663095, our opening times are shown on the website. If we aren't open then leave us a message or email us and we would be more than happy to call you back as soon as possible, or put an order through on the website leaving your full details, we will then contact you . 2) We will talk you through any questions you may have or any further information you require. 3) We can take safe and secure payment over the phone using a debit or credit card. 4) We take down your details and organise a courier to deliver the outboard to the address you specify.

What checks are made before your outboard is delivered?

1) We pre-delivery-inspect the engine. This involves filling the engine with oil and fuel, running it to ensure everything is set up and working exactly right. Then we suck the fuel and oil out as it can't remain in the engine during courier delivery. 2) We register the outboard motor to you, so your warranty is up and running straight away. 3) We re-box the outboard.

What will I need to do when it arrives?

You will simply need to refill the oil sump (how to do this is detailed in the user manual, but we can talk you through this should you require help). We can supply you with a tub of relevant oil for delivery with the engine upon request. It is important that the correct grade of oil (SAE 10W-30) is used in your Honda 5. It is no more expensive than other grades, and is the oil your engine was designed to use (failure to use the correct oil may invalidate your warranty).

Servicing and Warranty

You will be able to get your Honda 5hp outboard motor serviced or repaired at any Honda Marine dealer.
