- Boosted Low Speed Torque (BLAST) System advances ignition timing during "hammer-down" acceleration, resulting in explosive holeshots
- Lean Burn Control uses an oxygen (O2) sensor to adjust the air/fuel mixture according to speed and load, providing best-in-class fuel efficiency in "cruise mode" from 3,000 to 4,500 RPM
- 22-amp Alternator keeps the starting and dual-purpose battery banks charged all day, even when running multiple accessories. The system provides 17 amps of superior battery charging capability
- Four-Front Corrosion Protection uses a patented, multi-layer paint process and sacrificial anodes to fight corrosion in the harsh marine environment
- True 5-Year Warranty; Honda Marine's industry-best 5-year, non-declining, limited factory-backed warranty offers true Honda factory backing in comparison to the outsourced, extended service contracts offered by many other manufacturers. Standard on all Honda engines purchased for recreational use, coverage for the True 5 limited warranty is the same on the last day as it is on the first.
- Programmed Electronic Fuel Injection delivers precise amounts of air/fuel to each cylinder, resulting in quick starts, instant throttle response, and low fuel consumption
