Honda BF25DK3SHGC 25HP Outboard – 15in Shaft, Tiller

Give Honda BF25DK3SHGC a place on a small inflatable, shallow-water skiff, or Jon boat when a 15-inch shaft, 25 HP, and power tilt are required. Its 552 cc inline three-cylinder SOHC engine uses six valves and produces 25 HP for properly rated small boats. Honda BF25DK3SHGC is a Signature Silver outboard with three carburetors, accelerator-pump fuel delivery, electric starting, tiller steering, and a 15-inch short shaft. The power-tilt system lets the operator adjust engine position without manually lifting the motor.

At approximately 157 lbs dry, the outboard should be included in the boat’s transom and balance calculations. The 5,000–6,000 RPM full-throttle range provides a reference for propeller selection, while the 2.09:1 gear ratio supports standard forward, neutral, and reverse operation. Its 10-amp alternator supplies electrical output for supported fishing electronics, lighting, and small accessories. Confirm the boat’s horsepower rating, transom height, battery requirements, total loading, and propeller setup before installation.
