Honda BF20D3SRT Outboard - 15" Shaft | Remote Control | Electric Start | Power Tilt | Silver

Overview

The BF20D3SRT is a short-shaft 20 HP outboard configured for remote control—built for boats that want helm-based steering and clean console rigging, while still using a 15" shaft transom height. This setup is a great match for small fishing boats and skiffs that run a short transom but are laid out like a “mini big boat” with steering and controls at the helm.

At 20 HP, you gain a more confident feel under load. The boat responds quicker, holds speed more easily, and doesn’t feel like it’s working overtime when you add a second person, a full cooler, or extra gear. Electric start pairs naturally with remote operation, giving you quick turn-key starting from the helm. Power tilt adds another big convenience factor—trim the engine for shallow water, trailering, or dialing in ride attitude without getting up and wrestling the motor by hand.

Honda’s mid-range four-stroke character shows up here in the best way: stable idle, smooth cruising, and a controlled throttle response that’s easy to manage around docks. It’s a refined engine that fits well on boats that see regular use and want simple, dependable operation.

If you’re rigging a small console boat with a short transom and you want a feature-complete 20 HP (electric start + power tilt), the BF20D3SRT is a clean, capable package.
