Pair Honda BF250DK1XCRA with a port-side twin-engine offshore installation when a 25-inch X-long shaft and mechanical counter-rotation are required. Its 3.6-liter, 60-degree V6 engine uses 24 valves and SOHC operation, producing 250 HP at 5,800 RPM. Honda BF250DK1XCRA is a counter-rotation VTEC 4-stroke outboard with Programmed Fuel Injection, electric starting, remote mechanical controls, and Power Trim & Tilt. The configuration is intended for twin systems using conventional cable rigging.

At 613 lbs dry, each engine should be included in the complete weight of the twin installation. The 5,300–6,300 RPM full-throttle range helps owners evaluate propeller selection, 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. Engine oil capacity is listed at 7.8 L with filter, while gearcase and counter-rotation service should follow the Honda manual.

Reasons to Choose the Honda BF250DK1XCRA

The counter-rotation design gives this model a defined position in twin mechanical-control systems. Its 25-inch shaft addresses tall-transom fitment, while the 250 HP V6 provides the output for properly rated offshore boats using traditional remote rigging.

- Counter-rotation supports listed port-side twin use
- Mechanical controls fit conventional rigging
- 250 HP suits approved offshore boats

Applications & Use Cases

Honda BF250DK1XCRA is intended for port-side twin installations on offshore fishing boats and larger recreational hulls using 25-inch transoms. It can support offshore fishing, coastal cruising, harbor travel, and repower work when the vessel accepts the combined weight and counter-rotation arrangement.

- Port-side twin offshore configurations
- Mechanical boats with tall transoms
- Large hulls requiring 250 HP

Warranty, Support & Maintenance

The supplied product information lists a 5-year non-declining standard warranty. Follow the Honda owner’s manual for the 7.8 L oil capacity with filter, gearcase lubricant, filters, spark plugs, cooling-system checks, mechanical controls, Power Trim & Tilt, and counter-rotation service. Confirm twin-engine compatibility, registration, service intervals, and dealer support before installation.
