We are in Yorkshire, where we live in back-to-back houses and work all hours in the dark mill. Our only hobby is wippett racing (and whippets don't eat much !!!!). Joking apart, as anybody who has been here will testify, we have a modern and very well organised facility. Secondly we are one of the biggest outboard engine dealerships in the UK, so we are able to buy in bulk, which gives us a significant discount. Being from Yorkshire, we pass these savings onto our customers, thus giving you the best prices on new Honda outboard engines.

The very popular Honda 4hp, 5hp and 6hp outbioard engine is steered and controlled by the tiller handle. There are no remote steering versions of the Honda 4hp, 5hp and 6hp outboard engines.
 
This Honda 4hp, 5hp and 6hp outboard engine is a manual pull-start engine. There are no electric start options of the Honda 4hp, 5hp, 6hp engines: not that you will need one because they are so easy to start. 
 
This lightweight 4hp to 6hp Honda outboard engine is "probably" the most popular ranges of outboard engine model for sale in the UK today.
 
For good and practical customer reviews of the Honda 4hp, 5hp and 6hp outboard engine, please see websites such as E-bay, Boat and Outboards, various blue-water crusing blogs and Ribnet
 
On the Honda BF4 to BF 6 outboard range there are the full range of features that you would expect on such a well-made Japanese small outboard. There a simple lever-operated system on the side of this outboard engine for putting it into and out of gear. There is a reverse gear on the side of the Honda engine, thus allowing the whole boat and engine to go astern easily. Therefore you can you can drive your boat smartly astern with this Honda  outboard in complete safety and basically using the same controls and power settings as you would use when normally driving forward. 
 
The one and a half (1.5l) litre built-in fuel tank on the Honda outboard engine gives a better than normal range for a small outboard engine:  this being about 50% larger than its most typical competitors 4hp to 6hp engines. Given the good fuel economy that these types of modern four-stroke engines now give, this internal tanks is almsot always a more-than-adequete range and tank size for a small 4hp to 6hp engine.
 

The key feature of the Hondai BF4, BF5 to BF6 range is that all models weighs in at only about 27kg (note: short shaft / lightest model) - thus making it one of the lightest range of this size outboard engines on the UK market today Therefore this Honda model outboard 4-stroke engine is so light that you'll forget that it's a 4-stroke! With a big and very ergonomical carrying handle, this Honda outboard engine is easily lifted on and off a tender or pontoon.
 
The Honda BF4 to BF6 range has water-cooling
 
The tilt positions (4no) ensure that you can set this Honda engine to match your boat's requirements.
