If your marine activities are incredibly diverse and you need the greatest level of flexibility possible, these are the engines you know you can rely on.
MANOEUVRABILITY AT YOUR FINGERTIPS - The BF8 is equipped with a large gear-shifting lever located in the engine front, an easy to use throttle friction knob and a tool-less steering friction lever that allow very easy operation. Also, a unique shock absorber system with pendulum motion eliminates vibrations to let you cruise in total comfort.
ALWAYS REST-ASSURED - You need an engine that won’t fail you, especially when you’re far from shore. The BF8 gives you a range of valuable alert systems, including overheating, oil pressure and an over-rev limiter. So you’ll always be sailing with confidence, no matter where your nautical adventures take you.
