Features

V6 Power with VTEC Technology

The BF225 comes with our V6 engine coupled with Honda VTEC technology (Variable Valve Timing and Lift electronic Control), providing superb performance and fully optimized power delivery throughout the rev range.

Blast Off

Honda BLAST™ hole shot technology with PGM-Fi electronic fuel injection delivers instant acceleration to get you up on to the plane as quickly as possible. It does this by using improved accurate ignition timing, which develops more torque at low rpm so you can rapidly reach cruising speed.

Plug and Play

The engine is NMEA2000® compliant, which makes it compatible with all other compliant electronic devices – like navigation and fishfinder systems. Engine data like rpm, temperature and fuel consumption can be displayed through multi-functional gauges.

Cruise more

Our unique lean-burn control ECOmo system adjusts the fuel to air ratio depending on load and speed to improve your fuel consumption when cruising. When your boat is up on the plane and cruising you’ll be saving up to 20% of your fuel by making the mixture leaner – saving you money.

4Front Corrosion Protection

A four layer coating process that protects against UV rays and salt water. It provides the best resistance to the harsh conditions found at sea.

Join the V6 revolution

We’ve brought Honda technology and innovation to our top-flight marine engines, and the result is outstanding performance and superb fuel economy. But to you out on the water, it’s just big, fast fun. These engines pack in many exclusive technologies that make them right at home with recreational, sport and commercial use. They’re NMEA2000® compliant and with Honda’s celebrated reputation for long-term reliability, they’re just what you need behind you when you take off into the blue.

Ride ahead

You’ll ride wave after wave of fun with these incredibly compact V6, 3.5 litre engines. High performance is built in, with innovations like VTEC™ – originally developed for Formula One race cars, BLAST™, ECOmo and an array of safety and engine protection features for extra peace of mind. They develop strong, smooth power with good torque delivery from low revs, right through the rev range.

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.
