BF225
Model Overview
Honda's revolutionary V6 four-stroke BF225 V6 outboard motor is the largest displacement in the 225 HP category and certainly the most technologically advanced. The BF225 features our exclusive VTEC (Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control) system, delivering a unique combination of optimum performance and outstanding fuel economy. The 60° V6 offers a powerful, compact 24-valve SOHC design that optimizes intake charge and exhaust gases to maximize combustion efficiency, thus allowing you to go a lot further on a tank of gas. In fact, Honda's advanced four-stroke technology delivers a superior blend of power, torque, rpm, and fuel economy, all with emissions so low, it exceeds 2006 EPA standards and has received a CARB 3-Star rating.
Extremely Quiet
Because of our precision manufacturing techniques, the Honda BF225 is so quiet, we don't even have to put sound dampening insulation in the cowling like the competition does.
Fuel Efficiency
Honda's advanced four-stroke technology delivers outstanding fuel efficiency because fuel is burned more thoroughly. This means lower emissions and lower fuel costs.
Engine Command System
Our exclusive "Engine Command Module" (ECM) receives constant input from 18 sensors located throughout the engine to provide optimum overall performance along with superior fuel efficiency and long-term durability.
Worry-Free Operation
Honda's Engine Alert System monitors vital engine functions and helps prevent engine damage by alerting the operator of overheating, low oil pressure, over-rev, battery condition and water in fuel.
Compact V6 Design
Honda's compact 60° V6 design makes it possible to maintain the same spacing for twin installations as required by competitors V-6 2-cycle engines.
VTEC
Honda's Variable Valve Timing & Lift Electronic Control (VTEC) uses two cam lobe profiles to operate the intake valves. The result is a superior combination of power, torque, rpm, and fuel economy at any RPM.
Dual Stage Induction System
This is a Honda exclusive, designed to maximize combustion efficiency for increased torque and superb fuel economy throughout the entire RPM range.
"On Demand" 60 Amp Alternator
This unique alternator uses less crankshaft horsepower, reduces heat build-up, and provides superior battery charging capability, producing 48 amps at a trolling speed of 1,000 RPM.
Excellent Warranty
The BF225 Honda Outboards carry a full three-year, non-declining manufacturer's warranty (parts & labour).
