Description
Put Honda BF250DUDA on a high-transom offshore center console or cruiser when 250 HP, a 30-inch U-long shaft, and iST drive-by-wire control are needed. Its 3.6-liter, 60-degree V6 engine uses 24 valves and SOHC operation, producing 250 HP at 5,800 RPM. Honda BF250DUDA is a VTEC 4-stroke outboard with Programmed Fuel Injection, electric starting, Intelligent Shift and Throttle, and Power Trim & Tilt. The configuration is intended for digital-ready offshore applications.
The 622-lb dry weight should be included in transom, repower, trailer, and total boat-balance calculations. Its 30-inch U-long shaft provides the reach identified for high-transom boats, while the 5,300–6,300 RPM full-throttle range helps guide propeller selection. The 90-amp alternator supplies 60 charging amps for supported navigation displays, pumps, lighting, batteries, and communication equipment. The listed oil capacity is 7.8 L with filter, with gearcase service directed by the applicable Honda manual.
