Overview
We’ve redesigned our flagship BF250, BF225, and BF200 models inside and out, adding features, updates and improvements that make these acclaimed V6 outboards better than ever. From easier maintenance to tougher corrosion resistance, the new BF250, BF225, and BF200 outboards take legendary Honda performance into new waters. The BF200, BF225, and BF250 feature Honda’s exclusive Intelligent Shift and Throttle, or iST. iST provides all the features boaters are looking for, including:
- Allows for up to 4 engines and 2 control stations
- Effortless 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
Of course, we’ve kept the famous technological advances Honda outboard owners love, many of which are shared with Honda’s renowned automobile engines. BF225 and BF250 models include VTEC® for explosive mid-range torque. All three models feature:
- BLAST™, for maximum holeshot performance
- Lean Burn Control for remarkable fuel efficiency.
- A best-in class, automotive-style 90 amp alternator and our AMP+® electronic control that automatically increases amperage as needed at idle.
- Multi-Port Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI) consistently delivers the ideal fuel/air mix to the cylinders, for impressive starts, response, performance, and efficiency.
- NMEA 2000® Certified, allowing the use of third-party electronic components without the expense of an additional gateway interface.
- Honda’s industry-leading True-5, five-year, non-declining warranty
