Honda BF150DJRA Jet Drive Outboard - 20" Shaft | Remote Control | Electric Start | Power Tilt | 105 Jet HP | Silver

Overview

The Honda BF150DJRA is a jet-drive outboard built for shallow-water operation where a traditional prop isn’t practical. While based on Honda’s 150 platform, this jet configuration produces 105 jet horsepower and uses a jet pump system to move water instead of a propeller. The result is an engine designed for rivers, sandbars, rocky shallows, and debris-heavy waterways.

This configuration is remote-controlled and includes electric start and power tilt, making it easy to operate from the helm. Power tilt is especially useful in shallow-water environments, allowing quick adjustments when approaching skinny water, loading onto a trailer, or navigating variable depths.

Jet drive setups trade top-end speed for access and control. Where this model shines is in confidence: running in places you’d never risk a prop, maintaining steady control in current, and operating with reduced exposure to submerged hazards. If your waterway is shallow by nature, the BF150DJRA is purpose-built for it.

Key Features

FAQs

Q: Why does this engine list “105 Jet HP” instead of 150 HP?
A: Jet pumps reduce delivered horsepower compared to prop systems; 105 Jet HP is the output rating for the jet configuration.

Q: Does this engine use a propeller?
A: No. This is a jet-drive outboard and uses a jet pump system instead of a prop.

Q: What boats is this best suited for?
A: Jet boats and shallow-water rigs running rivers, sandbars, rocky shallows, or debris-heavy water.

Q: Is a jet drive good for open-water speed?
A: Jet drives can run open water, but they’re optimized for shallow-water access and control rather than maximum top-end speed.
