Operate Honda BF225DK1UDA when a digital offshore center console or cruiser needs 225 HP, a 30-inch U-long shaft, and iST control at the helm. Its 3.6-liter, 60-degree V6 engine uses 24 valves and SOHC operation, producing 225 HP at 5,500 RPM. Honda BF225DK1UDA is a Signature Silver 4-stroke outboard with Programmed Fuel Injection, electric starting, Intelligent Shift and Throttle, and Power Trim & Tilt. The high-transom configuration is intended for compatible digital-ready boats.

At 622 lbs dry, the engine should be included in transom, repower, trailer, and total boat-balance calculations. The 30-inch U-long shaft provides the reach required by the listed high-transom application, while the 5,000–6,000 RPM full-throttle range helps guide propeller selection and setup. Its 90-amp alternator supplies 60 charging amps for supported electronics, lighting, pumps, batteries, and communication systems. The listed oil capacity is 7.8 L with filter, with gearcase and iST service following the Honda manual.
