Description
Support Honda BF250DK1UCRA in a port-side twin offshore installation when a 30-inch U-long shaft and mechanical counter-rotation are needed. Its 3.6-liter, 60-degree V6 engine uses 24 valves, SOHC operation, and VTEC technology to produce 250 HP at 5,800 RPM. Honda BF250DK1UCRA is a mechanical-control 4-stroke outboard with Programmed Fuel Injection, electric starting, remote mechanical controls, and Power Trim & Tilt. The configuration is intended for compatible dual-engine offshore cruisers.
At 622 lbs dry, the engine must be counted within the combined weight of the twin installation, fuel, batteries, rigging, passengers, and equipment. The 30-inch U-long shaft addresses extended transom requirements, while the 5,300–6,300 RPM full-throttle range provides a reference for propeller selection. The 90-amp alternator supplies 60 charging amps for supported electronics. Engine oil capacity is listed at 7.8 L, with gearcase and counter-rotation service governed by the applicable Honda manual.
