Honda BF225DK1XCRA 225HP – 25″ Shaft Counter Rotation Remote Mechanical

Honda BF225DK1XCRA 225HP Mechanical V6

The Honda BF225DK1XCRA pairs a 3.6L 24-valve SOHC V6 with counter-rotation gearing and traditional remote mechanical controls, at 631 lbs dry. The 25-inch extra-long shaft is a critical component for balanced dual-engine setups, part of Mulmarine’s outboard propulsion systems lineup for professional coastal maritime tasks.

Peak output runs at 6000 RPM, using PGM-FI for fuel induction and thermal efficiency. The 2.00:1 gear ratio is tuned to maximize hydrodynamic thrust and ensure rapid hole-shot performance in heavy seas. Engineered to Japanese standards, this corrosion-resistant unit includes vibration dampening for enhanced comfort.

Technical Specifications of Honda BF225DK1XCRA

• The 3.6L V6 SOHC design provides the low-end torque required for heavy offshore boat loads.
• Counter-rotation left-hand drive balances steering torque in multi-engine configurations.
• VTEC maximizes air intake at high RPM for superior high-speed power and efficiency.
• The 90-Amp alternator delivers high-output charging to keep radar and navigation systems operational.
• Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI) ensures precise combustion for reliable cold starts and economy.
• Power Trim and Tilt allows rapid hull leveling and performance optimization at speed.
• Remote mechanical steering compatibility gives a durable, traditional helm feel.

V6 VTEC Reliability

This VTEC 225HP engine uses variable timing to give high-end speed without sacrificing low-end trolling performance.

PGM-FI Fuel Induction

The fuel induction system uses digital monitoring for the right air-fuel mixture, maximizing hole-shot performance while maintaining fuel economy.

Counter Rotation Shaft

The 25-inch extra-long shaft’s counter-rotation gearbox negates the sideways pull of a standard propeller, improving tracking on large dual-engine vessels.

NMEA Digital Certification

NMEA 2000 certification communicates fuel induction, RPM, and battery level data in real time.

Honda Factory Coverage

Backed by a 5-year limited warranty, giving long-term security for US boat owners.

Multi-Engine Craft Match

This counter-rotation V6 pairs with a standard-rotation engine on offshore center consoles and walkarounds.

Maintenance & Longevity

Consistent maintenance of the 3.6L V6 oil levels and filter quality is essential for engine health. Pro Tip from the Shop: inspect and lubricate the mechanical shift linkage and counter-rotation gearbox seals annually.
