Support Honda BF225DK1XRA with a properly rated offshore center console when a 25-inch X-long shaft and traditional remote mechanical controls are part of the installation.

Honda BF225DK1XRA is a Signature Silver 4-stroke outboard with Programmed Fuel Injection, electric starting, Power Trim & Tilt, and remote mechanical control compatibility.

At 613 lbs dry, this engine should be included in the boat’s repower, transom, trailer, and balance calculations. The 5,000–6,000 RPM full-throttle range helps establish a reference for propeller selection, while the 2.00:1 gear ratio supports standard forward, neutral, and reverse operation. Its 90-amp alternator provides 60 charging amps for supported navigation equipment, pumps, lighting, batteries, and other accessories. The listed oil capacity is 7.8 L with filter.
