Description
Set the Honda BF100A1XRT 100HP Outboard on a compatible 25-inch transom when a center console or pontoon needs 100 horsepower for fishing, cruising, and regular recreational use. Its 1,496 cc inline four-cylinder engine provides practical output for passengers, equipment, and normal boating loads. Honda BF100A1XRT is a VTEC 4-stroke outboard with Programmed Fuel Injection, electric starting, remote control compatibility, and Power Trim & Tilt. The X-long shaft is the main fitment detail for boats designed around a taller transom.
At 379 lbs dry, this model should be included in transom, balance, and total loading calculations before rigging. Rated power reaches 100 HP at 5,900 RPM, while the 5,500–6,300 RPM full-throttle range provides a useful reference for checking propeller setup. The 44-amp alternator supplies 35 charging amps for supported navigation displays, lighting, pumps, fish finders, and other onboard equipment. The listed engine oil capacity is 4.4 L, while gearcase lubricant service should follow the applicable Honda owner’s manual.
