Description
Place Honda BF90D5XRTA on a deep-V aluminum boat or coastal center console when 90 HP and a 25-inch X-long shaft are required. Its 1,496 cc inline four-cylinder SOHC 4-stroke engine uses 16 valves and VTEC technology, producing 90 HP at 5,800 RPM. Honda BF90D5XRTA is a Signature Silver outboard with Programmed Fuel Injection, electric starting, remote mechanical control, Power Trim & Tilt, and a 25-inch shaft. The X-long configuration suits compatible taller transoms.
The 366-lb dry weight should be included in transom, trailer, repower, and boat-balance calculations. Its 5,300–6,300 RPM full-throttle range provides a reference for propeller selection, while the 2.33:1 gear ratio supports forward, neutral, and reverse operation. A 44-amp alternator supplies 35 charging amps for supported navigation equipment, pumps, lighting, and accessories. The listed 4.4 L oil capacity should be serviced according to the applicable Honda owner’s manual.
