Experience begets innovation. Not to mention peace of mind.
Just from a glance at their sleek
aerodynamic lines, you can see that
Honda outboards don't look like
anything else out there. As attractive
as they are, however, it's what's on the
inside that counts.
As you review these features, look for
the word "Exclusive." It means that
you won't find that particular feature
anywhere else.
Instant Acceleration.
EXCLUSIVE
A quick movement of the throttle
control activates the BLAST
™
system,
advancing the ignition curve aggressively.
"Hole Shot" is vastly improved as
more horsepower gets the hull up on
plane quicker.

Power And Fuel Economy —
The Best of Both Worlds.

VTEC
T echnology
EXCLUSIVE
Honda's Variable Valve Timing & Lift
Electronic Control (VTEC®) system
gives you a broader, flatter torque
curve and smooth power delivery
throughout the engine's operating
range. VTEC® is the "replacement for
displacement," providing outstanding
performance without the inferior low
rpm fuel economy of larger
displacement competitors. VTEC®
provides power where and when you
need it. It's all because VTEC® varies
the lift and duration of the intake
valves to deliver optimal performance
at both low and high rpm, resulting in
peak performance at all speeds. Check
out the following illustration to better
understand the smart thinking behind
VTEC® technology:
SYNCHRONIZING
PISTON
LOW SPEED
HIGH SPEED
LOW SPEED
uses two cam lobe profiles to
VTEC
®
operate the intake valves. The low-lift,
short duration cam lobes (shown in
red) provide strong torque at low rpm.
High rpm horsepower is achieved by
engaging the third rocker arm on a high-
lift cam (blue), resulting in a superior
combination of power, torque and fuel
economy.

NMEA 2000
®
NMEA 2000 is the
marine industry's
open-architecture
electronic protocol that allows on-
board data sources to interface with
helm displays. Honda outboards do
not require the added expense of
gateway devices, required by most
competitive proprietary systems, to
connect to a NMEA 2000 on-board
network. Lower cost and connectivity
to a wide variety of brand name
marine electronics is the advantage
of NMEA 2000.

Save Your Battery.
AMP+
EXCLUSIVE
At idle, when electrical loads demand
additional amperage, the electronic
control module
automatically increases
the engine RPM's by 100
to produce an additional
9 amps. AMP+ helps prevent battery
drain caused by simultaneously
running multiple accessories; a
concern when you're fishing miles
off shore.

Cooler Air, More Horsepower.
Dual Air Intake Circuits
EXCLUSIVE
The first circuit is
used to cool critical
engine components.
A top-mounted
cooling fan draws
cooling air over
the alternator. A cool
alternator produces
more amps.
