AquaTrax F-12 Features:
- An ECU-controlled off-throttle steering system (OTS) is provided
to help the AquaTrax turn in certain conditions when the handlebars
are turned and the throttle is closed.
- Unique AquaTrax hull design combines excellent handling performance
with exciting maneuverability.
- Electronic keyless ignition system prevents unauthorized use.
- The AquaTrax’s selectable Limit Mode restricts maximum speed for
first-time and inexperienced users.
- Excellent storage with 97 litres of usable capacity.
Engine/Drivetrain:
- Lightweight, liquid-cooled, DOHC 16-valve 1235cc dry-sump
four-cylinder engine features a one-piece upper-crankcase/cylinder
block engineered to withstand the rigors of marine duty. The
inherently efficient, low-emissions four-stroke design consumes
less fuel than a comparable two-stroke engine and meets all
current CARB and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) emissions
standards.
- Side-mounted cam chain and ultra-narrow cylinder-sleeve
spacing reduce engine size and weight.
- Crankshaft main bearings feature a micro-grooved bearing
surface to improve oil retention and bearing durability as lateral
loading occurs throughout a broad range of operating conditions.
- DOHC-actuated valves use a simple, lightweight and direct
cam-over-bucket design.
- Four-valve cylinder head design with a narrow, 30 degree
included valve angle creates a compact combustion chamber for
optimum efficiency and power output at all rpm levels.
- Silent-type cam chain reduces engine noise, while an automatic
chain tensioner virtually eliminates maintenance.
- Idle screw adjustment conveniently located on front side
of engine for ease of adjustment.
- Unique gear-driven dual engine-balancer system virtually
eliminates high-frequency engine vibration.
- Oil jets located on the crankcase main journal castings
continually cool piston undersides, ensuring consistent operating
temperatures and even better engine life under maximum power.
- Forged pistons and connecting rods are designed to withstand
the rigors of turbocharging. The top piston ring land is anodised,
and a chrome-plated top ring further enhances durability.
- Honda Ignition Control System (ICS) protects the engine
from abnormal operating conditions.
- Air intake system features an intake port mounted centrally
in the hull and a labyrinth airbox construction with paper air
filter. Together they keep water out of the engine during normal
operation and if the craft is accidentally overturned.
- High-pressure programmed fuel injection (PGM-FI) delivers
fuel at 43 psi to four injectors, each mounted in a 38mm throttle
body. Fuel is delivered through four laser-drilled nozzle holes
in each injector, producing a highly combustible air/fuel charge
for maximum combustion efficiency and power.
- The ECU provides two digital 3-D fuel injection maps for
each cylinder, creating the ideal fuel mixture and spark advance
settings. A sophisticated throttle sensor and advanced fuel
injection mapping combine to produce smooth and linear throttle
response, responding precisely to minor throttle and waste gate
adjustments to maximize driveability, acceleration and drive
pump performance.
- A unique fast-idling system uses an electric stepping motor
to maintain a stable idle speed when the engine is cold. An
automatic fuel-enriching system is integrated into the PGM-FI
module, eliminating the need for a manual choke.
- Four waterproof transistorized direct-ignition coils integrate
the spark plug cap and the high-tension lead to produce a high-voltage,
long-duration spark, providing maximum performance at high engine-output
levels.
- Iridium-tip spark plugs produce maximum spark performance
and minimal carbon build-up for consistent engine operation
and long spark plug life.
- Powerful, compact oil-cooled alternator contributes to the
engine’s lightweight design.
- Oil pump is driven by the alternator, further contributing
to the engine’s lightweight design.
- Engine cooling system allows water from the jet pump to
circulate through two separate circuits to cool the engine and
exhaust manifold, ensuring consistent operating temperatures
for each system.
- Unique three-way coolant coupler and specially designed
discharge outlet reduce engine coolant flow during idling and
low-speed operation to prevent over-cooling, assuring smooth
operation and low emissions. A one-way valve permits simplified
coolant system flushing.
- Dry-sump engine incorporates an oil reservoir mounted adjacent
to the cylinder bank. The tank shape and location, together
with a specially designed internal multi-baffle system, optimize
engine lubrication under a wide variety of marine operating
conditions.
- A uniquely designed crankcase breather system featuring
three breather chambers prevents oil from flowing out of the
engine or clogging the breather system if the hull is accidentally
overturned.
- Output end is directly coupled to the jet pump drive via
a rubber damper, providing shock-free, efficient power transfer
while minimising lateral crankshaft load forces.
- Engine power and pump characteristics are carefully matched
for maximum performance without the use of power-robbing gear-reduction
systems.
- Axial-flow single-stage Solas 155mm jet pump with three-blade
impeller is matched to the four-stroke power characteristics.
A proprietary Honda impeller design and ECU control of the turbocharger
waste gate minimize pump cavitation, resulting in quiet pump
operation and extended impeller life.
- Pump servicing features include easy-to-disassemble pump,
driveshaft, and driven coupling, and an easily accessible driveshaft
bearing grease fitting.

Hull:
- Unique AquaTrax hull design provides excellent overall stability
and exceptional low- and high-speed turning performance without
sacrificing the ability to perform low-speed maneuvers.
- Dry-sump design allows the engine to be mounted low in the
hull, resulting in a very low center of gravity that contributes
to the AquaTrax’s exceptional handling performance.
- Raised hull design aids in docking and provides excellent
splash protection.
- Sponson design further contributes to the AquaTrax’s low-speed
maneuverability and high-speed stability.
- Strong, lightweight fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP)
hull and deck are joined and permanently sealed at the gunwale,
providing the AquaTrax with a distinctive and attractive profile.
- The liner-type FRP inner hull increases hull rigidity more
than 200 percent compared to a single-hull design.
- AquaTrax hull is designed to be a stable platform for mounting
from deep water and to be easily uprighted in case of accidental
overturns.
- Footwell areas have an anti-slip surface to provide sure-footed
comfort when mounting, operating and dismounting the AquaTrax.
- Forward-located large-capacity, 62.8 litre polyethylene
fuel tank is attached to the hull with rubber-cushioned hold-down
straps. A two-way valve is provided to control internal tank
pressure and prevent water incursion or fuel leakage if the
hull is accidentally overturned.
- Abundant storage is available in two sealed compartments,
with a large, 87.4 litre front storage box located under the
front hood and a smaller, 9.5 litre compartment located in front
of the rider.

Additional Features:
- Honda Ignition Control System (ICS) senses low oil-pressure
and/or abnormally high coolant temperatures and acts to limit
or shut off engine operation as necessary. If oil pressure drops
below the optimum level, the ICS limits engine speed to 3000
rpm. Extremely low oil-pressure stops the engine. If high coolant
temperature is detected, a warning light and audible alarm are
activated. ICS also shuts off the engine after the hull is accidentally
overturned.
- AquaTrax’s selectable Limit Mode provides a lower top-speed
setting, ideal for beginning riders, borrowers and rental users.
The system displays “Limit Mode” on the multi-function display
when activated, and can be reset with push-button controls.
- Electronic keyless ignition system (ID mode) allows operator
to select from 999 possible identification numbers to effectively
deter unauthorised use.
- Waterproof instruments feature LCD digital displays for
GPScape, speed (kph), trip distance (kilometres), travel time
(hours and minutes) clock and engine hourmeter; LCD analog bar
graph display for engine speed and fuel level; flashing indicator
light and audible alarm for fuel level, battery charge, coolant
temperature, oil pressure and fuel injection.
- Self-diagnosing ECU cycles at start-up and operates continuously
during operation to provide immediate troubleshooting and warning
functions.
- Operational lanyard tethers the ignition button to the operator’s
wrist or personal flotation device (PFD) and stops the engine
if tether comes unplugged.
- The fully sealed fuel system is leak-free and vapor-free.
- Rubber engine-mounts feature two-phase damping to simultaneously
minimize engine vibration and engine shock when the AquaTrax
is traversing rough water.
