What Makes the 2017 Honda 20 HP BF20D3LHT Outboard Motor Special
Legendary Honda 4-Stroke Reliability
The 2017 Honda 20 HP BF20D3LHT outboard motor is built on Honda’s proven 350cc inline twin architecture — the same engineering philosophy that powers millions of Honda motorcycles, generators, and automotive engines worldwide. When you buy a Honda BF20D3LHT, you are buying into a maintenance and parts ecosystem that will outlast most boats. The 20 HP rating delivers noticeably more torque and top-end speed than the 15hp variant, making the 2017 Honda 20 HP BF20D3LHT outboard motor the smarter choice for heavier loads and deeper hulls.
New Old Stock — Zero-Hour Condition
This 2017 Honda 20 HP BF20D3LHT outboard motor has never been bolted to a transom, never ingested saltwater, and never been subjected to a load cycle. It was stored in a climate-controlled wholesale facility from 2017 until our acquisition. Before sale, our Honda-trained technicians perform a complete pre-delivery inspection: carburetor cleaning (due to long-term storage), fresh oil and filter, new spark plugs, fuel line inspection, cooling system flow test, and a tank-run verification under load.
20-Inch Long Shaft for Deep Transoms
The defining feature of the 2017 Honda 20 HP BF20D3LHT outboard motor is the 20-inch long shaft. This is essential for:
- Sailboats with high freeboard and deep transoms
- Aluminum fishing boats with 20-inch transom heights
- Fiberglass skiffs and center consoles requiring extra immersion
- Any hull where a 15-inch short shaft would leave the propeller too close to the surface, causing cavitation and ventilation
Our San Francisco rigging team measures your transom height before recommending the 2017 Honda 20 HP BF20D3LHT outboard motor to ensure the long shaft is the correct fit for your vessel.
Electric Start Convenience in a Portable Package
Unlike many 20hp competitors that offer only manual pull-start, the 2017 Honda 20 HP BF20D3LHT outboard motor features factory electric start with a manual rope backup. Connect to a single 12V marine battery and start instantly — no yanking, no flooding, no frustration on cold San Francisco Bay mornings. Yet at approximately 106 pounds, the Honda BF20D3LHT remains manageable for two-person lifting or solo loading with a transom saver.
Tiller Handle Precision
The 2017 Honda 20 HP BF20D3LHT outboard motor includes a tiller handle with twist-grip throttle and forward-neutral-reverse gear selection integrated into the handle. This puts complete control in one hand — ideal for fishing, docking, and tight maneuvering in marina slips or kelp beds.
Shallow-Water Drive Protection
The manual 4-position tilt system on the 2017 Honda 20 HP BF20D3LHT outboard motor allows you to raise the gearcase in shallow water, near rocky shorelines, or when beaching your boat. This simple, mechanical system has no hydraulic pumps to fail — just lift, click, and lock.
Best Applications for the 2017 Honda 20 HP BF20D3LHT Outboard Motor
The 2017 Honda 20 HP BF20D3LHT outboard motor is purpose-built for small-to-mid craft propulsion across San Francisco Bay, the Sacramento Delta, and Northern California lakes:
- 14–16 foot aluminum fishing boats — Extra power and long shaft for deeper transoms and heavier loads
- Jon boats and utility skiffs with high sides — Long shaft ensures proper propeller depth
- Small fiberglass center consoles — Reliable 20hp power for bay fishing and light offshore work
- Sailboat auxiliary / kicker engines — 20-inch shaft ideal for deep transom sailboats; manual tilt for kick-up
- Inflatable dinghies and RIBs on larger yachts — Electric start and long shaft match yacht tender davits
- Small pontoon boats — 20hp thrust for 4–6 passenger leisure cruising on calm waters
Our San Francisco rigging team measures your transom height and calculates hull displacement before recommending the 2017 Honda 20 HP BF20D3LHT outboard motor — we do not sell you an engine that does not fit.
