Power Honda BF225DK1URA when an offshore vessel needs 225 HP, a 30-inch U-long shaft, and traditional mechanical cable rigging. Its 3.6-liter, 60-degree V6 engine uses 24 valves and SOHC operation, producing 225 HP at 5,500 RPM for properly rated high-performance bass boats, aluminum sport hulls, and larger recreational vessels. Honda BF225DK1URA is a Signature Silver 4-stroke outboard with Programmed Fuel Injection, electric starting, remote mechanical control, and Power Trim & Tilt. The U-long shaft is intended for boats with extended transom requirements.

At 622 lbs dry, this V6 outboard should be included in transom, trailer, repower, and total boat-balance calculations. The 5,000–6,000 RPM full-throttle range provides a reference for propeller selection, while the 2.00:1 gear ratio supports standard forward, neutral, and reverse operation. Its 90-amp alternator supplies 60 charging amps for supported navigation equipment, pumps, lighting, and batteries. The listed engine oil capacity is 7.8 L with filter, while gearcase lubricant service should follow the applicable Honda owner’s manual.
