The Australian Volunteer Coast Guard's national commodore, Chris Gillett, said the deal was a great step forward.
"This nationally-based agreement goes a long way to cementing the Australian Volunteer Coast Guard's lead position as the only volunteer marine search and rescue group that operates across five state boundaries," Gillett said.
"Honda has a strong reputation for powerful and reliable outboards and we know they are well suited to our demanding applications."
Honda Marine manager Tim Davies said Honda Marine was delighted to be associated with the coast guard.
"The Volunteer Coast Guard performs an outstanding service in making our waterways safer for all," Davies said.
"I'm confident our advanced four-stroke outboard engine range will perform well under demanding conditions and meet all challenges thrown at it by the coast guard."
