Honda BF225DUCDA 225HP in White iST 30″ Shaft Counter Rotation

Honda BF225DUCDA 225HP iST V6

The Honda BF225DUCDA pairs a 3.6L 24-valve SOHC V6 with counter-rotation gearing and iST digital control, finished in white at 642 lbs dry. The 30-inch extra-extra-long shaft is essential for hydrodynamic balance in multi-engine arrays, part of Mulmarine’s outboard propulsion systems lineup.

Peak output runs at 6000 RPM, featuring VTEC for thermal efficiency. The 2.00:1 gear ratio is tuned to optimize hole-shot performance and hold cruising stability in heavy offshore swells. Engineered in Japan, this corrosion-resistant unit includes vibration dampening for a quieter, smoother ride.

Technical Specifications of Honda BF225DUCDA

• The 3.6L V6 SOHC architecture delivers strong displacement for low-end torque.
• iST provides drive-by-wire precision for effortless vessel management.
• Counter-rotation left-hand drive balances steering torque in dual- or triple-engine setups.
• VTEC optimizes valve timing at high RPM for stronger power and offshore speed.
• The 90-Amp alternator delivers charging power for radar and sonar suites.
• Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI) ensures precise fuel delivery for reliable cold starts.
• NMEA 2000 certification allows full engine data integration with digital helm screens.
• Power Trim and Tilt facilitate rapid hull leveling in rough coastal inlets.

V6 VTEC Performance

This iST outboard uses VTEC to shift cam profiles at high RPM, holding a flat torque curve for consistent acceleration under heavy offshore loads.

iST Digital Control

The iST system removes mechanical cables for drive-by-wire control, giving smooth gear engagement critical for maneuvering large vessels in coastal harbors.

30-Inch Counter Rotation

The 30-inch shaft is built for high-transom vessels needing deep propeller grip, with the counter-rotation gearbox balancing steering forces in multi-engine setups.

Marine Digital Interface

NMEA 2000 certification communicates all engine data digitally to the helm station in real time.

Five Year Warranty

Honda Marine backs this unit with a 5-year limited warranty covering major components against manufacturing defects.

Premium Vessel Application

This white iST V6 fits luxury center consoles and high-transom offshore cruisers, delivering sustained thrust through heavy swells.

Maintenance & Longevity

Routine maintenance of the 3.6L V6 cooling system prevents internal salt corrosion. Pro Tip from the Shop: apply marine wax to the white finish periodically to maintain UV resistance.
