- Jet Drive Propulsion: No lower unit or propeller below the boat hull, allowing for operation in extremely shallow environments.
- VTEC® Technology: Provides an optimal blend of power, torque, and fuel efficiency at any speed.
- BLAST™ System: Boosts low-speed torque for a rapid "hole shot" to get your boat on plane almost instantly.
- Lean Burn Control: Maximizes fuel economy by leaning out the air-to-fuel ratio during cruising.
- Multi-Port EFI: Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI) ensures instant starts and superior throttle response in all weather conditions.
Go Where Others Can't
The Honda 65hp Jet is built for the adventurous boater. Because it lacks a traditional lower unit, it is significantly less prone to damage from underwater obstructions. The high-capacity 35-amp alternator ensures you have plenty of power for GPS, fish finders, and auxiliary lighting. Backed by Honda's legendary 5-year warranty, this jet outboard is the perfect choice for river running, fishing in skinny water, and professional utility use.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Why is it rated at 65hp instead of 90hp?
Jet drives experience a power loss of approximately 30% compared to propeller drives. While the engine head produces 90hp, the actual thrust delivered through the jet pump is 65hp.
2. Does it include remote controls?
This is a remote-style motor. Rigging components (control box, cables, gauges) are sold separately to ensure they fit your specific boat layout.
