Honda 250HP | BF250DURA

250 horsepower flows through the BF250DURA's four-stroke V6, which rides a 30-inch shaft. Weight-wise, Honda lists 628 lbs for this unit. This motor's steering is handled by a console-mounted cable setup, with no tiller fitted. This engine's lower unit rotates the conventional direction; pair it with a counter-rotating partner for a twin install, or run it alone without issue. Six cylinders totaling 3583cc make up the block, with EFI handling fuel delivery.

Measuring before you order

Measure your transom before you order; this 30-inch shaft is built for a specific depth range, and guessing gets expensive. Wide-open throttle on this unit sits at 5300-6300 rpm. This engine skips the counter-rotating gearcase found on the DUCRA in the same family. This is a common choice when a boat's existing rating calls for this much power on a repower.

Equipment list

Rounding out the package, included equipment covers charging capacity and a freshwater flush fitting, with trim and tilt worked electrically; a manual and five years of Honda coverage close out the list. This unit comes prop-less, so plan a separate purchase.

Is this compatible with a counter-rotating partner engine? Yes, that's exactly how Honda intends these to be paired on a twin transom.

Does a propeller ship with this engine? No, it's ordered separately.

Is this engine carbureted? No, it runs EFI electronic fuel injection instead.
