The best engine for DINGHY - Honda BF 2.3 SCHU
Im very happy with the Honda BF 2.3 SCHU. Its lightweight, easy to carry and store on board, and starts reliably. For tender use its ideal smooth and predictable in operation, with enough power for short trips to shore and easy maneuvering around the yacht. The built-in fuel tank is convenient and the overall build quality feels excellent. Highly recommended if you want a compact, dependable outboard for a dinghy.

Perfect for my annex
Fast dispatch within 3 days of vacation. The engine is well packed, very light and is perfect for my 2.60 m and 40 kg tender. The price is well placed because some ships sell it up to 1200 €

Reception of a 2.3 HP Honda engine
Hello, Ordered Tuesday and received Saturday morning SVB is still my favorite partner. Parcel received and very well packaged. DHL is on top. I found the documentation in French on the HONDA manufacturer's website, so everything is fine. I often recommend the SVB address to all my friends at the Club Nautique de la Marine in TOULON. Good day Michel Duffour

Robust outboard motor
I've had the AB for 3 years now. It is light and robust and pushes our dinghy vigorously even with 3 people and shopping. The engine starts perfectly as promised. Only with a cold start you have to take into account that the screw can give a little pleasure and thrust due to the choke. The air cooling makes it maintenance-free but also loud. This means that it can be dammed quickly without the hassle of cooling water. The next time I would take the long shaft version, as the shaft for the higher stern of our dinghy is a bit short and therefore does not have an optimal flow.

Meets my expectations
Satisfied! surprised by the air cooling and that's a positive point. The water pump will not clog sand in the shallows. Nevertheless, the minimum and maximum indicator for the oil are difficult to read for my 59-year-old eyes.

The promotion we received SVB is a great deal. The engine, perfectly packaged, arrived within the announced deadline, is a material of which many retailers have boasted the qualities (Grand Pavois 2017). I was looking for a sailing boat engine as light as possible (easier to set up on rough seas). Perfect, it is carried with one hand.

In the small outboarder class this one is superior. 12 kg. Very easy to store when sailing.
