Description
Support Honda BF250DK1XRA on an offshore center console when traditional mechanical controls, a 25-inch X-long shaft, and 250 HP are required. Its 3.6-liter V6 engine uses a 60-degree layout, 24 valves, SOHC operation, and VTEC technology, producing 250 HP at 5,800 RPM. Honda BF250DK1XRA is a Signature Silver 4-stroke outboard with Programmed Fuel Injection, electric starting, remote mechanical control, and Power Trim & Tilt. The configuration is intended for compatible conventional rigging.
At 613 lbs dry, the engine should be included in the boat’s transom, repower, trailer, and balance calculations. Its 5,300–6,300 RPM full-throttle range helps guide propeller selection, while the 2.00:1 gear ratio supports standard forward, neutral, and reverse operation. The 90-amp alternator provides 60 charging amps for supported electronics, pumps, lighting, and batteries. The listed oil capacity is 7.8 L with filter, while gearcase service should follow the applicable Honda owner’s manual.
