Support Honda BF225DXCRA when a twin-engine offshore vessel needs a port-side counter-rotation unit with a 25-inch X-long shaft and conventional mechanical controls. Its 3.6-liter, 60-degree V6 engine uses 24 valves and SOHC operation, producing 225 HP at 5,500 RPM. Honda BF225DXCRA is a Signature Silver VTEC 4-stroke outboard with Programmed Fuel Injection, electric starting, remote mechanical control, and Power Trim & Tilt. The configuration is intended for mechanical twin installations.

The 613-lb dry weight should be counted within the complete twin-engine load, including batteries, fuel, rigging, passengers, and onboard equipment. Its 5,000–6,000 RPM full-throttle range helps guide propeller selection, while the 2.00:1 gear ratio supports standard forward, neutral, and reverse operation. A 90-amp alternator provides 60 charging amps for supported electrical systems. The listed oil capacity is 7.8 L with filter, with gearcase and counter-rotation service directed by the Honda manual.
