Description
Position Honda BF250DLRA on a high-performance bay boat, bass boat, or aluminum sport hull when 250 HP and mechanical remote controls are preferred with a 20-inch shaft. 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 BF250DLRA is a Signature Silver 4-stroke outboard with Programmed Fuel Injection, electric starting, remote mechanical control, and Power Trim & Tilt. The long shaft suits compatible standard transoms.
The 600-lb dry weight should be considered during repower work, trailer setup, transom planning, and total boat loading. 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. A 90-amp alternator provides 60 charging amps for supported navigation equipment, pumps, lighting, batteries, and accessories. The listed oil capacity is 7.8 L, with gearcase service directed by the applicable Honda manual.
