Honda 225HP | BF225DXRA WT

The BF225DXRA WT is Honda's 225-horsepower four-stroke V6 on the 25-inch shaft option. Expect 617 lbs on the scale for this configuration. A mechanical steering cable ties this motor to the console rather than a tiller arm. This unit carries white cowling panels, a finish choice rather than a mechanical one. Rotation is standard rather than mirrored, so a single installation works fine, and a twin pairing needs a counter-rotating partner on the other side rather than a second unit like this one. 3583cc spread across six cylinders defines this block, fed by electronic fuel injection.

Rigging to double-check

Measure first, order second: this 25-inch shaft needs to match your transom, or the propeller won't sit where it should. Running wide open, this motor reaches 5000-6000 rpm. This output level suits boats already rated for it, most often as a replacement for a tired or damaged outboard.

Package contents

Rounding out the package, this engine ships with charging capability and a flush fitting for the cooling system, plus power trim and tilt; the package closes with the manual and a five-year term. The propeller is a separate line item here.

What's the benefit of standard rotation here? It's simpler and suits the majority of single-engine installs without needing a mirrored partner.

Does the crate for this motor include a propeller? No, order one separately.
