About this engine

The BF60 is all about being the best. The best maneuverability and highest speed in its class. The best fuel economy. Best in class high output charging. And of course, best time out on the water. Available in two versions, the BF60 and the BFP60 Power Thrust offer powerful performance and exhilarating acceleration. The BFP60 offers a unique gear case and larger propeller that’s ideal for pontoons and larger hulled boats. The BFP60 also features Easy Dock Steering™; offering 50° of steering from port and to starboard, simplifying maneuvering in the marina. Add in features like BLAST, Programmable Fuel Injection, a high performance heavy-duty gear case, Lean Burn Control, and variable speed trolling, and you’ve got a legendary motor that’s truly best in class.

  • Additional Corrison Resistance: Sacrificial anodes and stainless steel technology, along with waterproof connectors, and internally painted cooling passages, all enhance corrosion protection.
  • Fresh Water Flushport: Fresh water flushport flushes debris and saltwater out of the engine.
  • Simplified maintenance: The little things make a big difference.
  • On-board connectivity: NMEA 2000 protocols allow engine data to be interfaced with on-board systems and systems displays, such as SONAR or GPS.
