Honda Marine Outboard Motors
BF225

Amongst the most powerful 4-stroke engines ever built. Honda's BF225 features a V6, 3.5 litre engine with 24 valve, Multi Point sequential fuel injection and Variable Air Intake System.

For the first time in the marine industry, Honda's VTEC (Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control) system has been applied. Its use in the BF225 ensures optimum performance for smooth power delivery and flatter torque curve. The result is consistent acceleration and power in all conditions, and the elimination of flat spots.

The heart of the BF225 is the Engine Control Module (ECM). It manages all engine functions such as the VTEC, the Variable Air Intake, ignition timing and idling speed. It also pilots the Engine Alert System in case of low oil pressure, over heating, over revving or water contamination in the fuel, for total worry free operation.

Honda's Programmed Fuel Injection uses information provided by 18 different engine parameters to ensure the lowest fuel consumption possible. This gives it more powerful performance with less fuel consumption and reduces hydrocarbon emissions to meet the highest levels of EPA and CARB regulations. In fact it is the only engine in the world from this class to receive a 3 star (Ultra-low emissions) rating for CARB 2008 regulations.

The BF225 is equipped with Honda's exclusive Variable Air Intake System. This varies the volume of the air intake into the manifold to provide clean and efficient operation at all engine speeds. Even at trolling speed, these engines will not foul plugs or produce engine smoke.

The use of Linear rubber mounts combined with the design features that locates the flywheel below the power head, ensures vibration levels are very low. Not only does this increase user comfort, it also improves boat stability and handling.

Alternator output is the highest amongst it competitors. It provides "on demand" 60 amps, enough to run all necessary electronic equipment on board, while using less crankshaft horsepower.

Thanks to the 60º V6 engine, it’s sleek and streamline design, the option of long, extra-long and ultra-long shaft lengths and counter rotating models, the BF225 suits a broad variety of boats, in single or twin applications.
