Description
Place Honda BF250DXDA on a standard-rotation offshore center console when iST digital control, a 25-inch X-long shaft, and 250 HP are needed together. Its 3.6-liter, 60-degree V6 engine uses 24 valves and SOHC operation, producing 250 HP at 5,800 RPM. Honda BF250DXDA is a VTEC 4-stroke outboard with Programmed Fuel Injection, electric starting, Intelligent Shift and Throttle, and Power Trim & Tilt. The standard-rotation configuration suits compatible digital helm systems.
The 613-lb dry weight should be included in the boat’s transom, repower, trailer, battery, and balance calculations. Its 5,300–6,300 RPM full-throttle range provides a reference for propeller selection, while the 2.00:1 gear ratio supports standard forward, neutral, and reverse operation. The 90-amp alternator supplies 60 charging amps for supported navigation displays, pumps, lighting, and communication equipment. The listed engine oil capacity is 7.8 L with filter, with gearcase service directed by the Honda manual.
