OUTBOARD MOTOR SAFETY
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Honda BF2D outboard motors are designed for use with boats that have a
suitable manufacturer’s power recommendation, and other uses can result in
injury to the operator or damage to the outboard motor and other property.
Most accidents can be prevented if you follow all instructions in this manual
and on the outboard motor. The most common hazards are discussed below,
along with the best way to protect yourself and others.
Operator Responsibility
l
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.
l
Stop the engine immediately if anyone falls overboard, and do not run the
engine while the boat is near anyone in the water.
l
Always stop the engine if you must leave the controls for any reason.
l
Attach the emergency stop switch lanyard securely to the operator.
l
Always wear a PERSONAL FLOTATION DEVICE (PFD) while on the boat.
l
Familiarize yourself with all laws and regulations relating to boating and the
use of outboard motors.
l
Be sure that anyone who operates the outboard motor receives proper
instruction.
l
Be sure the outboard motor is properly mounted on the boat.
l
Do not remove the engine cover while the engine is running.
l
I
Do not attempt to modify the outboard motor.
l
Do not remove any labels, covers, or safety devices; they are installed for
your safety.

Refuel With Care
l
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.
l
Refuel carefully to avoid spilling fuel. Avoid overfilling the fuel tank.
l
After refueling, tighten the filler cap securely. If any fuel is spilled, make sure
the area is dry before starting the engine.
Carbon Monoxide Hazard
Exhaust gas contains poisonous carbon monoxide. Avoid inhalation of
exhaust gas. Never run the engine in a closed garage or confined area.

CONTROLS
Engine Stop Switch
The engine stop switch has controls
for normal engine stopping and
emergency engine stopping.
In normal operation, press the engine stop button to stop the engine.
A clip and lanyard system stops the
engine automatically if the operator
falls away from the controls.
The switch clip must be inserted in the engine stop switch in order for the
engine to start and run. The other end of the lanyard attaches to the operator’s
wrist. If the operator falls away from the controls, the lanyard pulls the clip out
of the switch.
Always attach the lanyard to your wrist before operating the outboard motor.
A spare switch clip is supplied with the tool kit.

Tilt Lever
CONTROLS & FEATURES
STEERING FRICTION BOLT
The tilt lever enables the outboard
motor to be tilted for shallow water
operation, beaching, launching, or
mooring.
Tilt the outboard motor by holding
the carrying handles, as shown. The
spring-loaded tilt lever will automatitally move into position and hold
the outboard motor when it reaches
approximately 75”.
To return the outboard motor to the
normal running position, hold the
outboard motor and pull the tilt lever, then slowly lower the outboard
motor.

INSTALLATION
79
It is your responsibility to choose a boat suitable for the engine.
Do not exceed the boat manufacturer’s power recommendation.
Damage and injury may result.
Two shaft lengths are available for
your outboard motor, either long or
short, to match the transom height
of the boat.

INSTALLATION POSITION
Install at the stern, at the center line
of the boat.
INSTALLATION HEIGHT
For proper propeller depth and
engine cooling, the boat’s transom
height must match the motors shaft
length. This outboard motor is intended for use with boats that have
a transom height of:
15.0 in (380 mm) for the short shaft
motor
20.1 in (510 mm) for the long shaft
motor
STERNdENTER
TRANSOM HEIGHT
ANTICAVITATION PLATE
/ Y”
With the boat in the water, properly loaded, and the engine stopped, check the
installed depth of the outboard motor by looking at the anticavitation plate.
The anticavitation plate should be about 5.9 in (150 mm) below the surface of
the water.
Running the outboard motor without sufficient water will overheat the engine.
INSTALLATION

OUTBOARD MOTOR AlTACHMENT
Attach the stern bracket to the transom and tighten the clamp screws.
( NOTICE 1
l
Before operating the boat, check
the tightness of the clamp screws.
l
Tie a rope through the hole in the
stern bracket and secure the other
end of the rope to the boat. This
will prevent accidental loss of the
motor.
MOTOR ANGLE FOR CRUISING
Adjust the motor so the propeller shaft is parallel with the water surface.

CORRECT
MOTOR ANGLE ADJUSTMENT
If the propeller shaft is not parallel
with the water surface, adjust by
changing the transom angle adjusting bolt position.
There are four adjusting stages.
1. Loosen the wing nut to free the
adjusting bolt.
2. Adjust the angle of the motor,
and tighten the wing nut. Be sure
that the bolt head
are seated in one of the four
and wing nut
recesses on the adjustment slot.
To prevent damage to the motor or
boat, make sure the transom angle
adjusting bolt is locked.

BEFORE CWERATION
ARE YOU READY TO GET UNDERWAY?
Your safety is your responsibility. A little time spent in preparation will
significantly reduce your risk of injury.
Knowledge
Read and understand this manual. Know what the controls do and how to
operate them.
Familiarize yourself with the outboard motor and its operation before you get
underway. Know what to do in case of emergencies.
Familiarize yourself with all laws and regulations relating to boating and the
use of outboard motors.
Safety Apparel
Always wear a PERSONAL FLOTATION DEVICE (PFD) while on the boat.
IS YOUR OUTBOARD MOTOR READY TO GO?
For your safety, and to maximize the service life of your equipment, it is very
important to take a few moments before you operate the outboard motor to
check its condition. Be sure to take care of any problem you find, or have your
servicing dealer correct it, before you operate the outboard motor.
Improperly maintaining this outboard motor,
or failing to correct a problem before opera-
tion, could cause a malfunction in which you
could be seriously injured.
Always perform a preoperation inspection
before each operation, and correct any
problem.
22
BEFORE OPERATION
23
Safety Inspection
l
Look around for signs of oil or gasoline leaks. Make sure the fuel filler cap
and cap gasket are in good condition. Wipe up any spills before starting the
engine.
l
Check the stern bracket to be sure the outboard motor is securely installed.
l
Check that all controls are operating properly
l
Replace any damaged parts.
l
Check that all fasteners are in place and securely tightened.
Maintenance Inspection
l
Check the engine oil level (see page 43). Running the engine with a low oil
level can cause engine damage.
l
Check to be sure the propeller is undamaged, and secured with a cotter pin
(see page 52).
l
Check that the anode is securely attached to the anticavitation plate and is
not excessively worn (see page 51). The anode helps to protect the
outboard motor from corrosion.
l
Make sure the tool kit and spare parts are onboard (see page 38).
Replace any missing items.
l
Check the fuel level in the fuel tank (see page 40).
