Move Honda BF225DURC into a compatible 20-inch U-long installation when a high-performance bass boat or sport fishing hull needs iST control and 225 HP. Its 3,583 cc, 60-degree V6 engine uses 24 valves and VTEC technology, producing 225 HP for properly rated performance hulls. Honda BF225DURC is a 4-stroke outboard with Programmed Fuel Injection, electric starting, Intelligent Shift and Throttle, Power Trim and Tilt, and integrated iST features. The U shaft configuration should be verified against the boat before ordering.

The 622-lb dry weight belongs in the boat’s transom and repower calculations, along with the battery, rigging, fuel, and passenger load. Its 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. The 90-amp alternator provides 60 charging amps for supported electronics and accessories. The listed oil capacity is 7.8 L with filter, with gearcase lubricant and service intervals determined by the applicable Honda manual.
