They were the second U.S. company to build a four-stroke marine outboard engine. They manufactured the first marine engine in 1964. Many of the engine concepts and technologies are taken from their automotive engines used in popular vehicles such as the Accord and Odyssey. The BF115, 130, and 150 engines uses a power head based on the same 2.4L K24 VTEC engine used in the Honda Accord. The BF200, 225, and 250 use engines derived from Honda's J35A series of engines used in larger vehicles such as Pilot, Odyssey, and Ridgeline. Honda offered a five-year no-declining warranty on their engines.
