The Honda BFP15D3XRT is specifically engineered for heavy-duty applications that require extra "push" rather than top-end speed. Featuring the Power Thrust gearcase and a specialized large-diameter propeller, this 15hp engine provides 15% more thrust in forward and a massive 60% more in reverse. With its 25-inch extra-long shaft, it is the ultimate auxiliary motor for large sailboats, heavy pontoons, and displacement hulls that need maximum maneuverability.

Engineered for Maximum Displacement Power
- Power Thrust Gearcase: A heavy-duty gearcase designed to swing a larger propeller, significantly increasing low-speed maneuverability.
- Exhaust Relief System: Directs exhaust gases away from the propeller in reverse, providing superior bite and stopping power.
- PGM-IG Technology: Microprocessor-controlled ignition timing for reliable starts and smooth operation across all RPMs.
- High-Output Charging: The 12-amp alternator ensures batteries stay charged while running electronics or sailboat lighting.
- Power Tilt: Allows the operator to easily tilt the engine out of the water at the touch of a button.
The Ultimate Sailboat & Kicker Motor
The Honda BFP15 Power Thrust is the premier choice for sailors who need a dependable auxiliary engine. The 25-inch shaft ensures the propeller remains deep in the water even in rough swells, preventing cavitation. Unlike standard 15hp outboards, the Power Thrust model is tuned to provide immense low-end torque, making it much easier to dock heavy vessels or hold position against strong currents and winds.
