Honda 225HP | BF225DXCRA WT

At 225 horsepower, the BF225DXCRA WT is a four-stroke V6 specced with a 25-inch shaft. The scale reads 617 lbs for this unit. This unit steers via a mechanical cable to a console, with no tiller option. This unit carries a white cowling, swapped in purely for appearance rather than performance. This gearcase spins the opposite direction from Honda's standard setup, intended to offset the torque pull of a matching standard-rotation engine mounted beside it. At 3583cc across six cylinders, this block runs electronic fuel injection rather than a carburetor.

Before you order

Check this 25-inch figure against your own transom depth first; mounting too high or too low changes propeller performance either way. Full throttle falls between 5000-6000 rpm on this configuration. At this horsepower, buyers are often matching a transom's rated capacity rather than building out a brand-new rig.

What's in the box

Beyond the counter-rotating gearcase, included with this engine are the charging system and a freshwater flush fitting, alongside trim and tilt; finished off by the manual and Honda's five-year coverage. No propeller is bundled with this configuration.

Do I need this exact rotation for my repower? Only if you're pairing it with a standard-rotation partner; for a single engine, rotation direction doesn't matter much.

Does white cowling cost anything in performance? No, it's a finish option only; output and gearing match the standard-color BF225DXCRA.
