Honda BF115JXRA 115HP in White 25″ Shaft Standard Rotation Remote Mechanical

Honda BF115JXRA 115HP 4-Stroke VTEC White

The Honda BF115JXRA 115HP represents the pinnacle of mid-range offshore engineering, combining a robust 2.4L inline 4-cylinder architecture with world-renowned VTEC technology in a premium Grand Prix White finish. This 25-inch extra-long shaft model is explicitly designed for high-transom bay boats and offshore skiffs requiring high-performance 4-stroke marine engines with a familiar tactile feel. Its 16-valve DOHC design ensures smooth power delivery and reduced vibration, providing a refined operating experience for US boaters who prefer traditional mechanical controls on high-transom fiberglass or aluminum hulls.

Operational peak performance is managed through the PGM-FI system and Honda’s VTEC technology, providing a “best of both worlds” power curve across a wide 4500-6000 RPM range. The BF115JXRA features a specialized 2.14:1 gear ratio and a high-output 55-amp alternator, making it the ideal choice for offshore vessels with high-draw electronics and multi-battery systems. US boaters consistently choose this Grand Prix White model for its simplified mechanical rigging, massive displacement torque, and the elite aesthetic match for modern saltwater and freshwater vessel designs.

Grand Prix White Custom Aesthetic

The BF115JXRA features the iconic Grand Prix White finish, providing a high-end aesthetic match for modern fiberglass and aluminum hulls. This premium coating is engineered to withstand the most aggressive saltwater environments and UV exposure, preventing galvanic corrosion on critical components. You gain a sophisticated and aggressive look for your vessel that matches the high-output performance and innovative Japanese engineering under the cowling for a standout appearance at the dock.

VTEC Variable Valve Technology

Honda’s exclusive VTEC system provides a specialized camshaft profile that optimizes valve lift and timing for both low-speed torque and high-speed performance. This technology ensures a smooth, stable idle and massive mid-range power, allowing your vessel to reach its top speed faster while maintaining thermal efficiency. Owners benefit from an engine that acts like a high-torque workhorse at low speeds and a high-performance racing engine at the top end, all within a robust 2.4L block.

Extra-Long 25-Inch Shaft Propulsion

The BF115JXRA is specifically calibrated for vessels with 25-inch transom heights, ensuring the lower unit remains deep enough to prevent ventilation in heavy following seas. This extra-long shaft configuration provides superior traction and steering authority for specialized offshore bay boats and deep-V aluminum hulls. US offshore boaters gain stable hydrodynamic tracking and improved propeller grip, making the management of high-transom vessels safer and more efficient in rough water.

Advanced BLAST Torque System

Honda’s Boosted Low Speed Torque (BLAST) technology proactively advances ignition timing during rapid acceleration to get the boat on plane faster. This system eliminates the “dead zone” often found in traditional 4-stroke outboards, providing a hole-shot that rivals many 2-stroke competitors in the 115HP class. Captains gain improved vessel authority, allowing them to carry heavier loads or pull skiers with the confidence of immediate, high-torque thrust from a dead stop even on heavier deep-V hulls.

Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI)

The BF115 utilizes a multi-port PGM-FI system that uses a series of sensors to deliver the exact amount of fuel and air required for current atmospheric conditions. This ensures instant, turnkey starts in cold weather and crisp throttle response throughout the entire power band from idle to wide-open throttle. US boaters gain the advantage of industry-leading fuel efficiency and reduced emissions, making it one of the most eco-friendly and cost-effective outboards for long-distance cruising.

High-Output 55-Amp Charging

The BF115JXRA features a powerful 55-amp alternator (40 amps charging) that provides the highest electrical output in its class to keep all onboard electronics fully powered. This capacity easily supports modern navigation radar, large multi-function displays, and high-draw livewell pumps without draining the primary starting battery. Owners gain the confidence to run complex digital networks throughout the day, ensuring all critical safety and fish-finding gear remains operational during long trips.

Honda 5-Year Limited Warranty

Your investment is protected by Honda Marine’s industry-leading 5-year non-declining limited warranty, which remains consistent from the first day to the last. This warranty reflects the confidence Honda has in their Japanese-engineered components and provides US boaters with peace of mind during every launch. Pro Tip: Utilize Honda’s Genuine 10W-30 marine oil and regular fresh-water flushing to protect the internal 2.4L block and maintain peak cooling system integrity for years of reliable service.
