Honda BF115JK1XDA 115HP – iST 25″ Shaft Standard Rotation

Honda BF115JK1XDA 115HP iST Digital Silver

The Honda BF115JK1XDA 115HP iST is a high-torque powerhouse featuring a 2.4L DOHC inline 4-cylinder architecture, delivering the highest displacement in the 115HP class. This 25-inch extra-long shaft model is specifically designed for high-transom offshore bay boats and deep-V cruisers requiring advanced digital marine engines for a premium operating experience. Its 16-valve DOHC design helps support smooth power delivery and reduced vibration, providing a refined operating experience that 4-stroke boaters have come to expect from Honda’s world-class Japanese engineering.

Operational peak performance is managed through the Intelligent Shift & Throttle (iST) system, offering surgical fly-by-wire command across a wide 4500-6000 RPM range. The BF115JK1XDA features a specialized 2.14:1 gear ratio and a high-output 55-amp alternator, making it the ideal choice for vessels with high-draw electronics and multi-battery systems. US boaters consistently choose this 2.4L iST model for its mid-range torque, digital engine synchronization, and the durability of its wet sump lubrication system in harsh saltwater environments.

2.4L DOHC Displacement

The BF115JK1XDA utilizes a large 2.4-liter block to provide significantly higher torque and smoother power delivery than standard 115HP competitors with smaller displacements. This balanced architecture reduces mechanical stress and vibration throughout the vessel while providing the torque needed for rapid response under heavy tournament loads. Operators may notice a refined four-stroke quietness with the mid-range pulling power essential for navigating unpredictable coastal inlets or large lake environments.

Intelligent Shift & Throttle (iST)

The iST system provides the captain with a smooth and cable-free operating experience at the helm station through high-speed digital signal processing. This fly-by-wire interface allows for precise vessel positioning and synchronization across multiple engines, ensuring the outboard reacts instantly to every input. You gain the tactile control necessary for safe navigation through busy harbors or narrow coastal channels with the reliability of modern digital electronics instead of traditional mechanical cables.

Extra-Long 25-Inch Shaft Authority

The BF115JK1XDA is specifically calibrated for vessels with 25-inch transom heights, ensuring the lower unit remains deep enough to prevent ventilation in heavy following seas. This extra-long shaft configuration provides superior traction and steering authority for specialized offshore bay boats and deep-V aluminum hulls. US offshore This can provide stable hydrodynamic tracking and improved propeller grip, making the management of high-transom vessels safer and more efficient in rough water.

Advanced BLAST Torque Technology

Honda’s Boosted Low Speed Torque (BLAST) technology proactively advances ignition timing during rapid acceleration to get the boat on plane faster. This system eliminates the “dead zone” often found in 4-stroke outboards, providing a hole-shot that rivals many 2-stroke competitors in the 115HP class. Captains gain improved vessel authority, allowing them to carry heavier loads or pull skiers with the confidence of immediate, high-torque thrust from a dead stop even on heavier fiberglass hulls.

High-Output 55-Amp Charging

The BF115JK1XDA features a powerful 55-amp alternator (40 amps charging) that provides the highest electrical output in its class to keep all onboard electronics fully powered. This capacity easily supports modern navigation radar, large multi-function displays, and high-draw livewell pumps without draining the primary starting battery. Owners gain the confidence to run complex digital networks throughout the day, ensuring all critical safety and fish-finding gear remains operational during long transits.

Honda 5-Year Factory Warranty

Your investment is protected by Honda Marine’s high-pressure 5-year non-declining limited warranty, which remains consistent from the first day to the last. This warranty reflects the confidence Honda has in their Japanese-engineered components and provides US boaters with peace of mind during every launch.Maintenance note: Follow the manufacturer’s service procedures and lubrication specifications for the engine and gearcase.
