Pair Honda BF250DK1LRA with a high-performance bay boat, bass boat, or aluminum sport hull when 250 HP and mechanical remote controls are preferred with a 20-inch shaft. Its 3.6-liter V6 engine uses a 60-degree cylinder layout, 24 valves, SOHC operation, and VTEC technology. Honda BF250DK1LRA is a Signature Silver 4-stroke outboard with Programmed Fuel Injection, electric starting, remote mechanical control, and Power Trim & Tilt. The 20-inch long shaft suits compatible standard transoms.

At 600 lbs dry, this engine should be included in transom, trailer, repower, and boat-balance calculations. Its 5,300–6,300 RPM full-throttle range helps guide propeller setup, while the 2.00:1 gear ratio supports standard forward, neutral, and reverse operation. A 90-amp alternator provides 60 charging amps for supported marine electronics, lighting, pumps, and batteries. The listed oil capacity is 7.8 L, with gearcase lubricant specifications and service timing determined by the applicable Honda documentation.
