Honda 25HP Outboard | BF25D3LRG

The BF25D3LRG is a 25 HP, three-cylinder Honda four-stroke with remote mechanical steering, a 20-inch shaft, and a manually operated gas-assisted tilt strut rather than powered trim. At 178 pounds it is the lighter of Honda's two remote-steer 25 HP rigs in this lineup. New.

What to check before ordering

Because steering is remote and mechanical, the boat needs to already be rigged with a console, cable steering, and remote throttle controls rather than a tiller handle. The gas-assisted tilt relies on a manual strut rather than an electric system, which keeps installed weight down but means the angle is adjusted by hand at the transom instead of from the helm. Full throttle lands between 5000 and 6000 rpm, and triple carburetors feed the 552cc, three-cylinder block.

What comes with it

Every unit ships with the propeller, the gas-assisted tilt strut, an onboard charging system, and the printed owner's manual, so there is nothing extra to source before the first trip.

A five-year factory warranty covers the motor. Electric starting is standard on this unit, so no pull cord is needed to get it running.

Q: Does this have power trim? No, tilt here is gas-assisted and manual; Honda offers a power trim-and-tilt version of this same 25 HP block under a different suffix.

Q: Is steering by tiller? No, this is remote mechanical steering built for a console-steered boat.
