Run Honda BF20D3SRT when a short-transom fiberglass boat or inflatable needs 20 HP, remote steering, and electric starting. Its 350 cc inline two-cylinder SOHC 4-stroke engine uses four valves and produces 20 HP at 5,000 RPM for properly rated small-craft applications. Honda BF20D3SRT is a portable outboard with a 15-inch short shaft, single carburetor with accelerator pump, electric start with manual backup, and Power Trim & Tilt. The configuration keeps primary steering and throttle control at the helm.

The 116-lb dry weight should be included in transom, battery, and total boat-loading calculations. A 5,000–6,000 RPM full-throttle range provides a useful reference when checking propeller selection, while the 2.08:1 gear ratio supports standard forward, neutral, and reverse operation. The 12-amp alternator supplies charging output for supported accessories. Confirm the boat’s 15-inch transom, maximum horsepower, control compatibility, battery requirements, and propeller setup before installation.
