HONDA 65HP JET
The Honda 65 Jet lets boaters go where prop-driven boats can’t thanks to a low-profile foot design that eliminates the risk of propeller damage in rough or shallow water. Built on the proven BF90 platform, the 65 Jet combines Honda’s most advanced mid-range technology with jet drive versatility, including VTEC for a strong balance of power, torque, and fuel efficiency, and a powerful 1.5L, 4-cylinder SOHC design. BLAST improves low-speed acceleration and holeshot, while a high-performance gearcase reduces drag and hull porpoising for better speed and handling. Multi-port fuel injection and Lean Burn Control deliver up to 20% better fuel economy than competitors at cruising speed, and a 3-way cooling system keeps cylinder heads running cooler for long-term durability.
Reliability is backed by Honda’s proven automotive-grade engineering, the transferable, non-declining True 5 Warranty, and a comprehensive Engine Alert System that monitors for overheating, fuel contamination, low oil pressure, battery issues, and over-revving. Honda’s corrosion protection system — multi-layered paint, sacrificial anodes, and waterproof connectors — helps the engine hold up over time in demanding conditions.
For everyday use, the 65 Jet offers a high-output 44-amp alternator (35 charging amps) to keep battery banks charged even with multiple accessories running, simplified maintenance for routine tasks, and NMEA 2000 connectivity for GPS or sonar integration. Anglers benefit from a 3-position tiller handle, push-button variable speed trolling (750–1000 RPM in 50 RPM increments), and an ergonomic, center-mounted tiller with adjustable throttle and steering friction for precise control.
