IMPORTANT SAFETY
INFORMATION
Operator Responsibility
OUTBOARD MOTOR SAFETY
It is the operator’s responsibility to
provide the necessary safeguards
to protect people and property.
Know how to stop the engine
quickly in case of emergency.
Understand the use of all controls.
Attach the emergency stop switch
lanyard securely to the operator.
Stop the engine immediately if
anyone falls overboard, and do not
run the engine while the boat is
near anyone in the water.
Always stop the engine if you
must leave the controls for any
reason.
Always wear a PFD (Personal
Flotation Device) while on the
boat.
Familiarize yourself with all laws
and regulations relating to boating
and the use of outboard motors.
Be sure that anyone who operates
the outboard motor receives proper
instruction.
Be sure the outboard motor is
properly mounted on the boat.
Do not remove the engine cover
while the engine is running.
The Honda BF115D outboard motor
is designed for use with boats that
have a suitable manufacturer’s power
recommendation. Other uses can
result in injury to the operator or
damage to the outboard motor and
other property.
Most injuries or property damage can
be prevented if you follow all
instructions in this manual and on the
outboard motor. The most common
hazards are discussed in this chapter,
along with the best way to protect
yourself and others.

Carbon Monoxide HazardRefuel With Care
OUTBOARD MOTOR SAFETY
Gasoline is extremely flammable,
and gasoline vapor can explode.
Refuel outdoors, in a well-
ventilated area, with the engine
stopped. Never smoke near
gasoline, and keep other flames
and sparks away.
Refuel carefully to avoid spilling
fuel. Avoid overfilling the fuel
tank.
After refueling, tighten the filler
cap securely. If any fuel is spilled,
make sure the area is dry before
starting the engine.
Exhaust contains poisonous carbon
monoxide, a colorless, odorless gas.
Breathing carbon monoxide can
cause loss of consciousness and may
lead to death.
If you run the engine in an area that
is confined, or even partly enclosed,
the air you breathe could contain a
dangerous amount of exhaust gas.
Never run your outboard inside a
garage or other enclosure.

The power tilt switch will operate
without turning the ignition switch
ON.
The power tilt switch is located on
the engine pan. It is a rocker switch
with UP and DN (down) positions
for changing the angle of the
outboard motor. When the boat is to be moored for a
long time, tilt the outboard motor up
as far as it will go. Then move the tilt
lock lever to the LOCK position, and
gently lower the outboard motor until
the lever contacts the stern bracket.
The tilt lock lever is used to support
the outboard motor in the fully-raised
position.
Check that nobody is under the
outboard motor before opening the
manual relief valve. If the manual
relief valve is loosened (turned
counterclockwise) when the outboard
motor is tilted up, the outboard motor
will suddenly tilt down.
The outboard motor can be tilted
manually after opening the manual
relief valve. This allows the outboard
motor to be tilted up or down when
no battery is connected.

IMPORTANT SAFETY
INFORMATION
BEFORE OPERATION.
To safely realize the full potential of
this outboard motor, you need a
complete understanding of its
operation and a certain amount of
practice with its controls.
Before operating the outboard motor
for the first time, please review the
on page and the
chapter titled
Proper break-in operation allows the
moving parts to wear in smoothly for
best performance and long service
life. Avoid continuous operation at a
steady speed.
Run the engine up to a maximum of
4,000 to 5,000 rpm, which is about
50% to 80% of maximum throttle
opening. Operating at maximum
4,000 5,000 rpm should be limited
to 50% of the 60 minutes.
For your safety, do not start or run
the engine in a confined or partly
enclosed area. Your engine’s exhaust
contains poisonous carbon monoxide,
a colorless, odorless gas that can
collect rapidly. Breathing carbon
monoxide can cause loss of
consciousness and may lead to death.
Run the engine up to a maximum of
2,000 to 3,000 rpm, which is about
10% to 30% of maximum throttle
opening. Operating at maximum
2,000 3,000 rpm should be limited
to 50% of the 45 minutes.
Run the engine at trolling speed. Use
the minimum throttle opening
necessary to operate the boat at a safe
trolling speed.
Do not run the engine at full throttle
for more than 5 minutes at a time.
For boats that plane easily, bring the
boat up on plane, and then reduce the
throttle opening to the recommended
rpm range.
30-second full-throttle bursts are OK,
but do not operate the engine
continuously at full throttle.

CRUISING
Engine Speed
Trim
OPERATION
Excessive trim/tilt angle during
operation can cause propeller
ventilation, overheating, and water
pump damage.
For rough water conditions or large
waves, slow down to prevent the
propeller from rising out of the water.
Under normal conditions, the boat
will perform best when the
antiventilation plate is level with the
water surface.
When cruising into a high wind, trim
the outboard motor down slightly to
level the boat and improve stability.
With a tail wind, trim the outboard
motor up slightly.
For best fuel economy, limit the
throttle opening to 80%. Use the
throttle friction control (p. ) to
help you hold a steady speed.
Use the power trim/tilt switch to trim
the outboard motor for the best
performance and stability.
You can use the power trim/tilt
switch at any time, whether the boat
is underway or stopped.
Press the UP or DN (down) side of
the switch to adjust the angle of the
outboard motor.
It is necessary to trim the angle of the
outboard motor to compensate for
changes in boat load, weight
distribution, water conditions, or
propeller selection.
The engine is equipped with a rev
limiter to prevent the possibility of
mechanical damage from excessive
engine speed.
If, for example, the outboard motor
is tilted excessively or propeller
ventilation occurs during a sharp turn,
the engine may overrev, activating
the rev limiter.
If engine speed becomes unstable at
high speed due to activation of the
rev limiter, reduce speed and check
the trim angle of the outboard motor.
Refer to the trim meter (p. ) for an
indication of whether the outboard
motor is trimmed high or low.

MAINTENANCE SAFETY Safety Precautions
Burns from hot parts.
Injury from moving parts.
Carbon monoxide poisoning
from engine exhaust.
SERVICING YOUR OUTBOARD MOTOR
Some of the most important safety
precautions follow. However, we
cannot warn you of every
conceivable hazard that can arise in
performing maintenance. Only you
can decide whether or not you should
perform a given task.
Make sure the engine is off before
you begin any maintenance or
repairs. This will eliminate several
potential hazards:
Read the instructions before you
begin, and make sure you have the
tools and skills required.
To reduce the possibility of fire or
explosion, be careful when
working around gasoline. Use only
a nonflammable solvent, not
gasoline, to clean parts. Keep
cigarettes, sparks, and flames away
from all fuel-related parts.
Wear gloves when handling the
propeller to protect your hands
from sharp edges.Let the engine and exhaust
system cool before touching.
Do not run the engine unless
instructed to do so.
Do not start or run the engine in
a confined or partly enclosed
area.

If uncompensated, torque steer would
make the outboard motor tend to turn
to one side.
When the trim tab is correctly
adjusted, steering effort is equal in
either direction.
If steering effort is unequal, loosen
the trim tab bolt and adjust the angle
of the trim tab. Retighten the trim tab
bolt securely.
If less effort is required to make left

Engine Oil Recommendations
SERVICING YOUR OUTBOARD MOTOR
Use only a Honda Genuine oil
f ilter or a f ilter of equivalent
quality specif ied f or your model.
Using the wrong f ilter, or a non-
Honda f ilter which is not of
equivalent quality, may cause
engine damage.
Running the outboard motor
without suf f icient cooling water
will damage the water pump and
overheat the engine.
Oil is a major factor affecting
performance and service life. Use
4-stroke detergent oil.
Start the engine and check for
leaks (be sure the water level is at
least 2 inches (5 cm) above the
antiventilation plate).
OIL FILTER TIGHTENING
TORQUE:
Clean the oil filter mounting base,
and coat the rubber seal of the new
oil filter with clean engine oil.
If you are changing the oil filter
while the outboard motor is out of
the water, use commercially
available ear muffs and water hose
to supply water.
Stop the engine, and check the oil
level as described on page . If
necessary, add oil to bring the oil
level to the upper limit mark on the
dipstick.
Return the outboard motor to the
vertical position, and fill the
crankcase with the specified
amount of the recommended oil.
Screw on the new filter by hand
until it contacts the engine, then
use a suitable tool to tighten the
filter an additional 3/4 turn.
Honda 10W-30 FC-W outboard
motor oil is recommended for
general use.
If Honda 10W-30 FC-W oil is not
available, Honda recommends that
you use API service category SG, SH
or SJ oil. The SAE oil viscosity and
service category are in the API label
on the oil container.

ANODE
(stern bracket)
Removal
Painting or coating the anodes will
def eat their purpose and will lead to
rust and corrosion damage to the
outboard motor. The anodes must be
exposed to the water in order to
protect the outboard motor.
The anodes are located on each side
of the gear case and on the stern
bracket. They are made of a
sacrificial material that helps to
protect the outboard motor from
corrosion.
Before replacing the propeller,
remove the emergency stop switch
clip from the emergency stop switch
to prevent any possibility of the
engine being started while you are
working with the propeller.
Inspect the propeller shaft for any
fishing line or debris.

Proper storage preparation is
essential for keeping your outboard
motor trouble-free and looking good.
The following steps will help to keep
rust and corrosion from impairing
your outboard motor’s function and
appearance, and will make the engine
easier to start when you use the
outboard motor again.
Thoroughly clean and flush the
outboard motor with fresh water after
operation in dirty water or salt water.
Touch up any damaged paint, and
coat areas that may rust with Honda
Corrosion Inhibitor, or equivalent.
Lubricate controls with a silicone
spray lubricant.

Gasoline will oxidize and deteriorate
in storage. Old gasoline will cause
hard starting, and it leaves gum
deposits that clog the fuel system. If
the gasoline in your fuel tank and
vapor separator deteriorates during
storage, you may need to have the
vapor separator and other fuel system
components serviced or replaced.
The length of time that gasoline can
be left in your fuel tank and vapor
separator without causing functional
problems will vary with such factors
as gasoline blend, your storage
temperatures, and whether the fuel
tank is partially or completely filled.
The air in a partially filled fuel tank
promotes fuel deterioration. Very
warm storage temperatures accelerate
fuel deterioration. Fuel deterioration
problems may occur within a few
months, or even less if the gasoline
was not fresh when you filled the
fuel tank.
Tilt up the outboard motor and
move the tilt lock lever to the

If oil pressure becomes low, the oil
pressure indicator will go off, and the
engine protection system limits
engine speed. If you are at cruising
speed, engine speed will decrease
automatically.
The oil pressure indicator is also
equipped with a buzzer that sounds
when the oil pressure indicator goes
off.
Low oil pressure may be the result of
a low engine oil level, or there may
be a problem with the engine
lubrication system.
If the engine protection system
remains activated after 30 seconds,
return to the nearest boat landing, and
have the outboard motor inspected by
an authorized Honda Marine dealer.
With the engine oil at the
recommended level, restart the
engine. If the lubrication system is
OK, the oil pressure indicator should
come on within 30 seconds, and the
engine will respond normally to
throttle control lever operation.
If low oil pressure activates the
engine protection system, stop the
engine, check the engine oil level
(p. ), and add oil if needed.
If the throttle is closed suddenly after
full throttle operation, engine speed
may drop below the specified idle
rpm, and that could activate the

Engine overheating may be the result
of restricted water intake screens, or
there may be a problem with the
cooling system thermostat or water
pump.
All types are equipped with a buzzer
that sounds when the overheat
indicator comes on.
If the engine overheats, the overheat
indicator will come on, and the
engine will stop in 20 seconds after
the engine protection system limits
engine speed. If you are at cruising
speed, engine speed will decrease
automatically.
If the engine is stopped after running
at full throttle, and then restarted
soon afterward, that could activate
the engine protection system
momentarily.
If overheating activates the engine
protection system, idle the engine in
neutral, and check the cooling system
indicator.
If water is flowing from the cooling
system indicator, continue idling for
30 seconds. If the cooling system is
OK, the overheat indicator should go
off within 30 seconds, and the engine
will respond normally to throttle
control lever operation.
If there is no water flowing from the
cooling system indicator, stop the
engine, and tilt the outboard motor to
inspect the water intake screens. If
restricted, clean the water intake
screens, return the outboard motor to
the running position, restart the
engine, and check the cooling system
indicator again.
If there is still no water flowing from
the cooling system indicator, or if the
engine protection system remains
activated after 30 seconds, return to
the nearest boat landing, and have the
outboard motor inspected by an
authorized Honda Marine dealer.

TAKING CARE OF UNEXPECTED PROBLEMS
Running the outboard motor without
suf f icient cooling water will damage
the water pump and overheat the
engine.
Change the engine oil and oil filter
as described on p. . If
there was water in the engine
crankcase, or if the used engine oil
showed signs of water
contamination, then a second
engine oil change should be
performed after running the engine
for half an hour.
Remove the spark plugs (p. ).
Operate the starter to expel water
from the engine’s cylinder.
If the engine fails to start, remove
the spark plugs and dry them, then
reinstall the spark plugs and
attempt to start the engine again.
If the engine starts, and no
mechanical damage is evident,
continue to run the engine for a
half hour or longer. Be sure the
water level is at least 2 inches (5
cm) above the antiventilation plate
to avoid overheating and water
pump damage.
As soon as possible, take the
outboard motor to an authorized
Honda Marine dealer for
inspection and service.If you are changing the oil filter
while the outboard motor is out of
the water, use commercially available
ear muffs and water hose to supply
water.
Attempt to start the engine (be sure
the water level is at least 2 inches
above the antiventilation plate).
If the engine was running when it
submerged, there may be
mechanical damage, such as bent
connecting rods. If the engine
binds when cranked, do not
attempt to run the engine until it
has been repaired.
Pour a teaspoon (p. ) of engine
oil into each spark plug hole to
lubricate the inside of the cylinders.
Reinstall the spark plugs.

Source of Emissions
Be caref ul to avoid connecting the
battery in reverse polarity, as this
will damage the battery-charging
system in the outboard motor.
Do not disconnect the battery
cables while the engine is running.
Disconnecting the cables while the
engine is running will damage the
outboard motor’s electrical system.
Battery cable extension: Extending
the original battery cable will
cause the battery voltage to drop
due to the increased length of the
cable and number of connections.
This voltage drop may cause the
buzzer to sound momentarily when
engaging the starter motor and
may prevent the engine f rom
starting. If the engine starts and
the buzzer sounds momentarily,
there may be barely suf f icient
voltage reaching the engine.
For complete information, refer to
the battery manufacturer’s
instructions.
Battery posts, terminals,
and related accessories contain lead
and lead compounds.
The combustion process produces
carbon monoxide, oxides of nitrogen,
and hydrocarbons. Control of
hydrocarbons and oxides of nitrogen
is very important because, under
certain conditions, they react to form
photochemical smog when subjected
to sunlight. Carbon monoxide does
not react in the same way, but it is
toxic.
Honda utilizes appropriate air/fuel
ratios and other emissions control
systems to reduce the emissions of
carbon monoxide, oxides of nitrogen,
and hydrocarbons.

Tampering and AlteringPGM-FI System
Ignition Timing Control System
The U.S. and Calif ornia Clean
Air Acts
Tampering with or altering the
emission control system may increase
emissions beyond the legal limit.
Among those acts that constitute
tampering are:
Removal or alteration of any part
of the intake, fuel, or exhaust
systems.
Alterations that would cause the
engine to operate outside its design
parameters.
The PGM-FI system uses sequential
multiport fuel injection. It has three
subsystems: Air Intake, Engine
Control, and Fuel Control. The
Engine Control Module (ECM) uses
various sensors to determine how
much air is going into the engine. It
then controls how much fuel to inject
under all operating conditions.
The system constantly adjusts the
ignition timing, reducing the amount
of HC, CO, and NOx produced.
EPA and California regulations
require all manufacturers to furnish
written instructions describing the
operation and maintenance of
emission control systems.
The following instructions and
procedures must be followed in order
to keep the emissions from your
Honda engine within the emission
standards.

Maintenance
If you are aware of any of the
following symptoms, have your
engine inspected and repaired by
your servicing dealer.
Hard starting or stalling after
starting.
Rough idle.
Misfiring or backfiring under load.
Afterburning (backfiring).
Black exhaust smoke or high fuel
consumption.
The emission control systems on
your Honda engine were designed,
built, and certified to conform with
EPA and California emission
regulations. We recommend the use
of Honda Genuine parts whenever
you have maintenance done. These
original-design replacement parts are
manufactured to the same standards
as the original parts, so you can be
confident of their performance. The
use of replacement parts that are not
of the original design and quality
may impair the effectiveness of your
emission control system.
A manufacturer of an aftermarket
part assumes the responsibility that
the part will not adversely affect
emission performance. The
manufacturer or rebuilder of the part
must certify that use of the part will
not result in a failure of the engine to
comply with emission regulations.
Follow the maintenance schedule on
(p. and ). Remember that this
schedule is based on the assumption
that your machine will be used for its
designed purpose. Sustained high-
load operation, or use in unusual
conditions, will require more
frequent service.

material or workmanship of the product.
Installing parts and accessories on non-Honda products or
engines voids this warranty.
American Honda disclaims any responsibility for loss of
time or use of the outboard motor, or the boat on which
the product is installed, transportation, commercial loss,
or any other incidental or consequential damage. Any
implied warranties are limited to the duration of this
written warranty. Some states do not allow limitations on
how long an implied warranty lasts and/or do not allow
the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential
damages, so the above exclusions and limitations may not
apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal
rights, and you may also have other rights which vary
from state to state.

Emission Control System Warranty
YOUR WARRANTY RIGHTS AND OBLIGATION
California
MANUFACTURER’S EMISSION CONTROL
SYSTEM WARRANTY COVERAGE:
All States
TECHNICAL AND CONSUMER INFORMATION
Your new Honda outboard engine complies with both the
U.S. EPA and State of California emission regulations.
American Honda provides the same emission warranty
coverage for outboard engines sold in all 50 states.
The California Air Resources Board and American
Honda Motor Co., Inc. are pleased to explain the
emission control system warranty on your 2001 and later
Honda outboard engine. In California, new outboard
engines must be designed, built, and equipped to meet
California’s stringent anti-smog emission standards in
addition to the U.S. EPA emissions standards.
In all areas of the United States your outboard engine
must be designed, built, and equipped to meet the U.S.
EPA Emission Standard for spark ignited marine engines.
American Honda Motor Co., Inc. must warranty the
emission control system on your outboard engine for the
period of time listed below provided there has been no
abuse, neglect, or improper maintenance of your
outboard engine. Where a warranty condition exists,
American Honda Motor Co., Inc. will repair your
outboard engine at no cost to you including diagnosis,
parts and labor.
Your emission control system may include such parts as
the carburetor or fuel injection system and catalytic
converter. Also included may be hoses, connectors and
other emission-related assemblies.
Your 2010 and later outboard engine is warranted for a
minimum of five years or 250 hours of operation,
whichever comes first, or the length of Honda Marine
Distributor’s Limited warranty, whichever is longer.
However, warranty coverage based on the hourly period
is only permitted for outboard engines equipped with
appropriate hour meters. If any emission-related part on
your outboard engine is defective under warranty, the
part will be repaired or replaced by American Honda
Motor Co., Inc.

WARRANTY COVERAGE:OWNER’S WARRANTY RESPONSIBILITY:
TECHNICAL AND CONSUMER INFORMATION
Contacting Honda
As the outboard engine owner, you are responsible for
the performance of the required maintenance listed in
your owner’s manual. American Honda Motor Co., Inc.
recommends that you retain all receipts covering
maintenance on your outboard engine, but American
Honda Motor Co., Inc. cannot deny warranty solely for
the lack of receipts or for your failure to ensure the
performance of all scheduled maintenance.
As the outboard engine owner, you should, however, be
aware that American Honda Motor Co., Inc. may deny
you warranty coverage if your outboard engine or a part
has failed due to abuse, neglect, improper maintenance,
or unapproved modifications.
You are responsible for presenting your outboard engine
to a Honda Marine dealer as soon as a problem exists.
The warranty repair should be completed in a reasonable
amount of time, not to exceed 30 days.
If you have any questions regarding your warranty rights
and responsibilities, you should contact American Honda
Motor Co., Inc., Marine Division Customer Relations
Office. Please see page 110 .
Honda outboard engines certified to the CARB and EPA
2010 regulations are covered by this warranty for a
minimum of five years or 250 hours of operation,
whichever comes first, or the length of the Honda Marine
Distributor’s Limited warranty, whichever is longer from
the date of delivery to the retail purchaser. This warranty
is transferred to each subsequent purchaser for the
duration of the warranty period.
Warranty repairs will be made without charge for
diagnosis, parts and labor. All defective parts replaced
under this warranty become the property of American
Honda Motor Co., Inc. A list of warranty parts is on page
121 . Normal maintenance items, such as spark plugs and
filters, that are on the warranted parts list are warranted
up to their required replacement interval only.
American Honda Motor Co., Inc. is also liable for
damages to other engine components caused by a failure
of any warranted part during the warranty period.
Only Honda approved replacement parts will be used in
the performance of any warranty repairs and they will be
provided without charge to the owner. The use of
replacement parts not equivalent to the original parts may
impair the effectiveness of your engine’s emission
control system. If such a replacement part is used in the
repair or maintenance of your engine, and an authorized
Honda Marine dealer determines it is defective or causes
a failure of a warranted part, your claim for your engine

may be denied. If the part in question is not related to the
reason that your engine requires repair, your claim will
not be denied.
You must take your Honda outboard engine, along with
your sales registration card or other proof of original
purchase date, at your expense, to any Honda Marine
dealer who is authorized by American Honda Motor Co.,
Inc. to sell and service that Honda Marine product during
his normal business hours. Claims for repair or
adjustment found to be caused solely by defects in
material or workmanship will not be denied because the
engine was not properly maintained and used.
If you are unable to obtain warranty service, or are
dissatisfied with the warranty service you received,
contact the owner of the dealership involved. Normally
this should resolve your problem. However, if you
require further assistance, write or call the Honda Marine
Customer Relations Office of American Honda Motor

Failures other than those resulting from defects in
material or workmanship are not covered by this warranty.
This warranty does not extend to emission control
systems or parts which are affected or damaged by owner
abuse, neglect, improper maintenance, misuse, misfueling,
improper storage, and/or collision, the incorporation of,
or use of, unsuitable attachments, or the unauthorized
alteration of any part.
This warranty does not cover replacement of expendable
maintenance items made in connection with required
maintenance service after the item’s first scheduled
replacement as listed in the maintenance section of the
product owner’s manual, such as: spark plugs and filters.
American Honda Motor Co., Inc. disclaims any
responsibility for incidental or consequential damages
such as loss of time or the use of outboard engine, or any
commercial loss due to the failure of the equipment; and
any implied warranties are limited to the duration of this
written warranty. This warranty is applicable only where
