Honda BF225DXCDA 225HP Outboard – 25in Shaft, Counter Rotation, iST

Pair Honda BF225DXCDA with a compatible twin-engine offshore boat when a 25-inch shaft and port-side counter-rotation are required for an iST digital configuration. Its 3.6-liter, 60-degree V6 engine uses 24 valves and SOHC operation, producing 225 HP at 5,500 RPM. Honda BF225DXCDA is a VTEC 4-stroke outboard with Programmed Fuel Injection, electric starting, Intelligent Shift and Throttle, and Power Trim & Tilt. The counter-rotation designation must correspond with the vessel’s approved twin-engine rigging.

At 613 lbs dry, the engine should be included in the combined weight of both engines, batteries, fuel, rigging, passengers, and equipment. Its 25-inch X-long shaft suits compatible tall transoms, while the 5,000–6,000 RPM full-throttle range provides a reference for propeller selection. The 90-amp alternator supplies 60 charging amps for supported navigation displays, pumps, lighting, and communication equipment. The listed engine oil capacity is 7.8 L with filter, while gearcase and iST service should follow the applicable Honda owner’s manual.
