Honda BF225DK1LRA 225HP – 20″ Shaft Standard Rotation Remote Mechanical

Honda BF225DK1LRA 225HP V6 VTEC

The Honda BF225DK1LRA pairs a 3.6L 24-valve SOHC V6 engine with standard rotation and mechanical control, at 613 lbs dry. The 20-inch shaft suits center consoles and professional fishing vessels needing standard rotation control, part of Mulmarine’s outboard propulsion systems lineup.

Peak output runs at 6000 RPM, using PGM-FI for fuel induction and thermal efficiency. The 2.00:1 gear ratio offers a hydrodynamic advantage for a fast hole-shot and stable high-speed performance. Engineered in Japan, this engine features vibration dampening and corrosion-resistant components for long-term endurance.

Technical Specifications of Honda BF225DK1LRA

• The 3.6L V6 24-valve SOHC engine architecture provides strong displacement for heavy-load acceleration.
• VTEC optimizes the torque curve for both low-end power and high-end speed performance.
• Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI) ensures precise fuel delivery for efficiency and instant throttle response.
• The 90-Amp total alternator output provides ample charging power for marine electronics.
• The 2.00:1 gear ratio is designed for high-speed hydrodynamic stability in rough offshore conditions.
• Power Trim and Tilt allows effortless engine adjustment to optimize hull planing at speed.
• NMEA 2000 certification allows integration with onboard digital displays and GPS systems.

VTEC Performance Tech

This V6 VTEC uses Honda’s Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control to shift the cam profile for power at high RPM while keeping smooth fuel induction at trolling speeds.

PGM-FI Fuel System

The PGM-FI system monitors atmospheric pressure and engine temperature to deliver the right air-fuel mixture, giving consistent cold starts and a flat torque curve.

Heavy Duty Shaft

The 20-inch shaft is built for mid-sized transoms with robust housing that minimizes vibration at high speed, the preferred choice for single-engine offshore configurations.

Advanced Marine Electronics

The 90-Amp alternator handles heavy draws from multiple fishfinders, radar, and livewell pumps, with NMEA 2000 reporting engine data accurately.

Five Year Warranty

This engine carries a 5-year limited warranty, giving American boat owners long-term security and access to factory-trained technicians.

Offshore Hull Match

This V6 fits large center consoles and walkaround boats used for deep-sea fishing, delivering sustained thrust to reach distant fishing grounds.

Maintenance & Longevity

Regular replacement of internal fuel filters prevents contamination within the PGM-FI high-pressure fuel lines. Pro Tip from the Shop: inspect the sacrificial anodes on the bracket and lower unit monthly.
