Honda BF250DUCDA 250HP Outboard – 30in Shaft, Counter Rotation, iST, V6, VTEC

Pair Honda BF250DUCDA with a multi-engine offshore cruiser when a 30-inch U-long shaft, iST control, and counter-rotation are required on the port side. Its 3.6-liter, 60-degree V6 engine uses 24 valves and SOHC operation, producing 250 HP at 5,800 RPM. Honda BF250DUCDA is a VTEC 4-stroke outboard with Programmed Fuel Injection, electric starting, Intelligent Shift and Throttle, and Power Trim & Tilt. The listed configuration is intended for compatible digital twin installations.

At 622 lbs dry, this engine should be included in the combined weight of the twin setup, batteries, fuel, rigging, passengers, and equipment. Its 30-inch U-long shaft provides the listed reach for high-transom boats, while the 5,300–6,300 RPM full-throttle range helps guide propeller selection. A 90-amp alternator supplies 60 charging amps for supported offshore electronics. The listed oil capacity is 7.8 L, with gearcase and iST service following the applicable Honda manual.
