Choose the Honda BF115DK1XC 115HP 4-Stroke Outboard when a center console or other recreational hull needs 115 horsepower with a 25-inch extra-long shaft. The 2,354 cc DOHC four-cylinder, 16-valve engine provides the output for properly rated boats carrying passengers, fishing equipment, and normal cruising loads. Honda BF115DK1XC uses Programmed Fuel Injection, electric starting, remote steering, and Power Trim and Tilt. The 25-inch shaft addresses the mounting requirement for boats with a taller transom.

At 478 pounds dry, this X-long-shaft model requires careful attention to transom strength, boat balance, and repower weight. The engine operates within a 4,500 to 6,000 RPM full-throttle range, which helps guide propeller selection after the installation is complete. Its 55-amp alternator produces 40 amps of net charging output for supported electronics and onboard accessories. BLAST, Lean Burn Control, and NMEA 2000 compatibility provide additional functions for properly equipped vessels.
