Run the Honda BF115JLDA 115HP Outboard on a modern bay boat or sport hull when Intelligent Shift and Throttle control is preferred with a 20-inch long shaft. Its 2,354 cc inline four-cylinder DOHC engine uses 16 valves and produces 115 HP at 5,250 RPM. Honda BF115JLDA is an iST drive-by-wire 4-stroke outboard with Programmed Fuel Injection, electric starting, and Power Trim & Tilt. The 20-inch shaft suits compatible standard long-transom boats and digital-ready helm installations.

The 472-lb dry weight belongs in the transom and repower calculations before rigging. A 4,500–6,000 RPM full-throttle range provides a useful setup reference for selecting and checking the propeller. The 40-amp alternator supplies 30 charging amps for supported navigation systems, lighting, pumps, and other equipment. Engine oil capacity is listed at 6.7 L with filter. Gearcase lubricant capacity, flush procedures, and service intervals should be verified through the correct Honda manual.
