BF225

Honda innovation combined with a powerful, large-displacement V6 engine, the BF225 offers the most technologically-advanced power available…


Features

WORLD FAMOUS QUALITY
By sharing many components with the Honda Odyssey and Honda Pilot, the BF225 gains years of proven Honda engineering, precision manufacturing and reliability.

LARGE DISPLACEMENT V6
A powerful, compact 24-valve SOHC design. Lacking the bulk and weight of long intake runners and multi-camshafts, the narrow V6 design offers top performance and durability, based on Honda automotive engineering excellence.

ENGINE COMMAND SYSTEM
The ECM receives constant input from 18 different sensors to deliver instant starts, smooth operation, strong performance and excellent fuel efficiency.

BLAST™
A quick movement of the throttle control activates the BLAST™ system, advancing the ignition curve aggressively. 'Hole shot' is vastly improved as more horsepower gets the hull up on plane quicker.

ECOmo
Along with Honda’s Programmed Fuel Injection, the BF225 incorporates Lean Burn Control technology, which allows combustion to operate on a leaner air/fuel ratio than stoichiometric air/fuel. An O2 sensor, together with the ECM, precisely controls the air/fuel mixture for the best fuel economy at cruise setting. The mode in which lean burn control is used during cruising to achieve higher fuel economy is referred to as ECOmo (Economy Controlled Motor).

VTEC™
Variable Valve Timing & Lift Electronic Control system achieves the best of both worlds, by utilising mild cam lobes to operate the intake valves at low rpm – then, at 4500rpm, engaging a 'high output' cam lobe for high rpm operation. VTEC™ offers a superior blend of power, torque and fuel efficiency. VTEC™ racing technology combined with our exclusive dual stage induction, produces a longer, flatter torque curve for max power at every speed.

DUAL STAGE INDUCTION
Most four-strokes use long manifolds to deliver air into the cylinder head. Honda’s variable intake system utilises a plenum chamber with twin butterfly valves to control the volume of intake air into the combustion chambers. The result is a simple, compact design that improves overall operation.

DUAL ENGINE APPLICATIONS
Easy for re-powers. 26" centre-to-centres. Many competitors have to mount on 28" centre. Ensures maximum performance and manoeuvrability.

ENGINE ALERT SYSTEM
With Honda’s Engine Alert System, the ECM monitors vital engine functions and prevents engine damage by alerting the operator of overheating, low oil PSI, over-rev, water in fuel, battery condition, and critical engine functions.

HIGH PERFORMANCE GEARCASE
Designed to get you going faster,this all new gearcase reduces drag, reduces hull porpoising and minimises spray, thus increasing acceleration and top speed.

TUNED DUAL EXHAUST
The competition’s exhaust track goes through the middle of the oil pan, pre-heating the oil. Honda’s dual exhaust headers wrap around the outside of the oil pan, which not only reduces heat build-up, but also increases engine efficiency and performance!

2-PASS COOLING SYSTEM
The unique cooling system maintains an even temperature on all cylinders. The incoming water passes through each aluminum exhaust manifold, then through the cylinder heads and back around the exhaust manifolds before entering the exhaust. This results in increased cooling efficiency and longterm durability!

60AMP BATTERY CHARGING POWER
Honda introduces a proven 'on demand' 90amp belt-driven alternator that reduces heat buildup and provides superior battery charging capability.

POSITIVE LUBRICATION
A crankshaft-driven, automotive-style trichoid oil pump ensures the long-term durability of critical engine components.

SINGLE LATCH COWL
Four securing points to ensure a water-tight seal, along with a convenient front-mounted single latch.

SEALED STARTER
The starter motor is inverted into a sealed chamber that protects the starter bendix drive from the elements.

CORROSION PROTECTION SYSTEM
A patented, 'double sealed' multi-layered paint process. Sacrificial anodes and stainless steel technology, along with waterproof connectors, all enhance corrosion protection.

FRESH WATER FLUSHPORT
Flushes debris and saltwater out of the engine, extending the life of the outboard.

STAINLESS STEEL
Steering Arm, Tilt Tube and all Shafts. Durability with long-term corrosion resistance!

BUILT-IN PILOT TUBE
Built-in pitot tube in the gear case eliminates the need to drill holes in your boat for installation.

NMEA2000 COMPATIBLE
The BF225 can communicate with onboard electronics to deliver a wide-range of information to head-unit displays. When networked with a Lowrance HDS unit, for example, engine data such as speed, revs, temperature, fuel usage and other data can be displayed on the unit’s screen.
