HONDA Outboard BF 225 XCU iST X long Shaft 183.9 kW 250 Hp 3583 cm³

This incredible outboard provides a host of exclusive technologies that make it the best for both recreational and commercial use. NMEA 2000® compliant and featuring a host of racing innovations, the BF250 is a sleek and versatile motor that gives you exactly what you need, when you need it. Long-term reliability is important too, especially if you depend on the water to make a living. Remember, if your engine isn’t working – then neither are you.

Explosive performance

A PGM-Fi fuel injected, 24 valve, SOHC, 3.5 litre, V6 engine – you better hold on to your hat.
If it sounds to you like an engine that should be in a fast car, then you would be half right. Most of our engineering ideas and creations are born out of the vast knowledge and commitment to developing power – and race winning performance – for over 60 years. VTEC™, for example, was first used commercially in the awesome Honda NSX sports car. With innovative additions especially for marine like BLAST™ and ECOmo, this engine with its unique dual air-intake system is the very best in class for economy – and low emissions too.

Slow ahead, and back again
Precise control at slow speed is just as important as high-speed, especially if you’re fishing or negotiating tight spots on a river or lake. The BF250 may be a big V6 engine, but it performs equally as well when you need to make slow speed manoeuvres.

Functional design

Sleek, aerodynamic styling combines nicely with a superior hydrodynamic designed gear case – which gives you better underwater performance at high speed. All wrapped up in bright silver bodywork, these engines not only look fantastic reflecting sunlight off the water, they also look great out of the water too, just hanging off the back of your boat.

Four lines of defence

We first anodise the aluminium casing with our patented ‘Double Seal’ process. Then an epoxy primer is applied before the shimmering silver paint. For further protection from UV rays, we apply a clear resin topcoat to finish. And to be doubly sure, a sacrificial anode is fitted and all connectors are waterproof. Corrosion doesn’t stand a chance.

Introducing Honda Marine’s new iST Intelligent Shift & Throttle

Introducing the new Honda Intelligent Shift and Throttle (iST). Superb control and easy installation are hallmarks of Honda’s new command and control system. iST provides all the features boaters are looking for, including:
-Control of up to 4 engines and 2 control stations
-Effortless shift and throttle control
-Fine tuning of throttle settings at any speed
-Enhanced docking and slow speed control
-User-programmable system defaults
-Simple, easy to understand user interface
-Multi-Engine Applications

For multi-engine installations, the system provides one switch trim control on the throttle handle, trimming all engines simultaneously. Individual trim switches allow for fine tuning each engine’s trim position. The system also provides engine speed synchronization, and single handle control of all engines while synchronized.

Simple Installation

Honda has also made iST easy to install. No programming or special tools - just connect one communication cable between the engine and the helm mounted control head, and you’re done. Adding a second station can be done just as easily. Simply install the second control head and connect cable to the existing system.

-Plug and play, requires no programming or special tools to install
-Stylish modern binnacle control box
-Compact, under the cowl design
-Up to four engine installations
-Near effortless shifting under all conditions
-Intelligent engine RPM synchronization with one handle throttle control
-Master trim control on throttle handle, individual trim controls on head unit for dual engines, and auxiliary panel for triple and quads
-"Slow"" mode for increased throttle control while maneuvering at slow speeds, such as around the dock or a crowded marina
-"Trolling"" mode for incremental RPM adjustments at any speed
-Easy helm control transfer up to two stations

6 years warranty for domestic use, 2 years for professional use.
