Support Honda BFP15D3XRT when a heavy sailboat or pontoon needs 15 HP, an ultra-long shaft, and Power Thrust gearing with remote control. Its 350 cc inline two-cylinder SOHC 4-stroke engine produces 15 HP at 5,000 RPM and uses a single carburetor with accelerator pump. Honda BFP15D3XRT is an electric-start outboard with manual backup, remote controls, Power Tilt, a 25-inch ultra-long shaft, and a 12-amp alternator. The setup is intended for heavier displacement hulls.

The 129-lb dry weight should be included in the boat’s transom, battery, rigging, trailer, and balance calculations. Remote controls keep throttle and steering at the helm, while the 2.33:1 high-thrust gear ratio supports the listed Power Thrust arrangement. Power Tilt allows engine-position changes during launching, docking, shallow-water travel, and storage. Confirm transom height, remote rigging, battery requirements, horsepower rating, and propeller selection before installation.
