Support Honda BF225DURA when a large offshore hull needs a 30-inch U-long shaft and traditional mechanical rigging for a single-engine or approved application. Its 3.6-liter, 60-degree V6 engine uses 24 valves and SOHC operation, producing 225 HP at 5,500 RPM. Honda BF225DURA is a Signature Silver 4-stroke outboard with Programmed Fuel Injection, electric starting, remote mechanical controls, and Power Trim & Tilt. The extended shaft is intended for boats with a taller transom requirement.

The 622-lb dry weight should be included in transom, repower, trailer, and balance planning before installation. Its 5,000–6,000 RPM full-throttle range provides a reference for propeller setup, while the 2.00:1 gear ratio supports standard forward, neutral, and reverse operation. The 90-amp alternator supplies 60 charging amps for supported offshore electronics, lighting, pumps, and batteries. Engine oil capacity is listed at 7.8 L with filter, with gearcase service directed by the Honda manual.
