Honda BF60A1JRTA Outboard Motor
20" Shaft | Remote Control | Electric Start | Power Tilt | 40 Jet HP | Silver
Overview
The BF60A1JRTA is a jet-drive outboard designed specifically for shallow-water operation. While based on Honda’s 60 HP platform, this jet drive configuration produces 40 jet horsepower and replaces the traditional propeller with a water jet pump—allowing the engine to run in areas where props simply can’t.
This model is ideal for rivers, rocky shallows, sandbars, and debris-filled waterways. Remote steering, electric start, and power tilt make operation easy from the helm, while the jet drive provides safer operation in shallow or obstacle-prone water.
Unlike propeller-driven engines, jet drives trade top-end speed for access and control. The BF60A1JRTA shines in environments where water depth is limited and reliability matters more than maximum speed.
Key Features
- Jet Drive Propulsion – Allows operation in shallow, rocky, or debris-filled water.
- 40 Jet Horsepower Output – Tuned for jet performance rather than prop speed.
- 20" Shaft Configuration – Designed specifically for jet drive mounting.
- Remote Control Operation – Helm-based steering and throttle control.
- Electric Start & Power Tilt – Easy operation and shallow-water positioning.
- Honda Reliability – Proven durability in demanding conditions.
FAQs
Q: Why does this engine produce 40 jet HP instead of 60 HP?
A: Jet drives lose horsepower through the pump system; this is normal and expected.
Q: What water depths can a jet drive operate in?
A: Jet drives can run in significantly shallower water than prop-driven outboards.
Q: Is this engine suitable for lakes and open water?
A: It can be used, but jet drives are best suited for shallow rivers and restricted waterways.
Q: Does this model use a propeller?
A: No. This is a jet-drive outboard and does not use a prop.
