Honda BF140AXDA 140HP Outboard – 25in Shaft, iST, Drive-by-Wire, VTEC

Choose the Honda BF140AK1XRA 140HP Outboard when a single-engine offshore hull needs a 25-inch shaft, traditional mechanical controls, and a Grand Prix White finish. Its 2,354 cc inline four-cylinder DOHC engine uses 16 valves and VTEC technology, producing 140 HP at 5,500 RPM. Honda BF140AK1XRA is a 4-stroke outboard with Programmed Fuel Injection, electric starting, remote mechanical control, and Power Trim & Tilt. The configuration is aimed at boats using conventional cable rigging.

The 485-lb dry weight should be included in repower, transom, trailer, and balance calculations before installation. Its 25-inch X-long shaft is intended for compatible tall transoms, while the 5,000–6,000 RPM full-throttle range provides a reference for checking propeller and hull setup. A 40-amp alternator produces 30 charging amps for supported navigation equipment, lighting, pumps, and accessories. Engine oil capacity is listed at 6.7 L with filter, while gearcase lubricant service should follow the Honda manual.
