Honda BF250DK1XCRA 250HP – 25″ Shaft Counter Rotation Remote Mechanical

Honda BF250DK1XCRA 250HP Mechanical V6

The Honda BF250DK1XCRA pairs a 3.6L 24-valve SOHC V6 VTEC engine with counter-rotation gearing and traditional remote mechanical controls, at 631 lbs dry. The 25-inch extra-long shaft is a staple for dual-engine offshore fishing boat installs, part of Mulmarine’s outboard propulsion systems lineup that favors mechanical simplicity and ruggedness.

Peak output holds between 5300-6300 RPM, using PGM-FI fuel induction for thermal efficiency. The 2.00:1 gear ratio gives a hydrodynamic advantage for a fast hole-shot and efficient hull planing in heavy offshore swells. Built to Japanese standards, this corrosion-resistant unit includes vibration dampening for a quiet, comfortable ride.

Technical Specifications of Honda BF250DK1XCRA

• The 3.6L V6 SOHC design provides the low-end torque required for heavy offshore boat loads.
• Counter-rotation left-hand rotation enables balanced handling in dual-engine deep-sea configurations.
• VTEC optimizes intake valve timing for both low-speed efficiency and high-speed power.
• The 90-Amp alternator maintains battery charge for a full suite of offshore marine electronics.
• Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI) ensures precise combustion for reliable cold starts and throttle response.
• Remote mechanical control compatibility offers a traditional, durable feel for experienced captains.
• Power Trim and Tilt allows rapid engine positioning to maximize hydrodynamic efficiency.

V6 VTEC Reliability

This mechanical V6 uses VTEC to maximize air intake at high RPM, giving a versatile power band for both trolling and high-speed offshore transit.

Fuel Induction Efficiency

The fuel induction system manages the air-fuel mixture to optimize thermal efficiency, giving instant throttle response during high-speed runs through coastal inlets.

Propulsion Shaft Engineering

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

NMEA 2000 Certified

NMEA 2000 certification communicates fuel flow, battery voltage, and RPM data digitally to the vessel’s helm displays.

Five Year Coverage

Honda Marine backs this unit with a 5-year limited warranty covering structural and mechanical defects.

Dual Engine Match

This counter-rotation V6 pairs with a standard-rotation engine on offshore center consoles and walkarounds, delivering high-torque thrust for coastal inlets and heavy swells.

Maintenance & Longevity

Consistent maintenance of the 3.6L V6 oil level and filter quality is essential for long-term engine health. Pro Tip from the Shop: inspect and lubricate the mechanical counter-rotation shift linkage every 100 hours to prevent cable binding.
