Support Honda BF60AK1LHTC when a heavy aluminum tiller boat or bay skiff needs 60 HP and direct control from the motor. Its 998 cc inline three-cylinder SOHC 4-stroke engine uses 12 valves and produces 60 HP. Honda BF60AK1LHTC is a 20-inch tiller outboard with Programmed Fuel Injection, electric starting, Power Trim and Tilt, and 17 net charging amps. BLAST, Lean Burn Control, NMEA 2000, and trolling control are listed features.

The 253-lb dry weight should be included in transom, battery, trailer, and balance calculations. Its 5,000–6,000 RPM full-throttle range provides a reference for propeller setup, while the 2.07:1 gear ratio supports standard forward, neutral, and reverse operation. Power Trim and Tilt allows engine-angle adjustment from the tiller arrangement. Confirm the boat’s 20-inch transom, horsepower rating, steering clearance, electrical requirements, and propeller selection before installation.
