Honda BF150DXCRA 150HP Outboard – 25in Shaft, Counter Rotation, VTEC

Run the Honda BF150DK1XCRA 150HP Outboard on a properly rated twin-engine offshore boat that needs a 25-inch X-long shaft and port-side counter-rotation. Its 2,354 cc inline four-cylinder DOHC engine uses 16 valves and VTEC technology, producing 150 HP at 5,500 RPM. Honda BF150DK1XCRA is a Signature Silver 4-stroke outboard with Programmed Fuel Injection, electric starting, remote mechanical control, and Power Trim & Tilt. The model is listed for traditional mechanical twin installations.

The 485-lb dry weight should be counted twice when planning a twin-engine setup, along with fuel, rigging, batteries, and passengers. A 5,000–6,000 RPM full-throttle range helps guide propeller selection after installation, while the 2.14:1 gear ratio supports standard forward, neutral, and reverse operation. The 40-amp alternator provides 30 charging amps for supported equipment. Engine oil capacity is listed at 6.7 L with filter; gearcase lubricant service should follow Honda’s applicable documentation.
