Honda BF250DXCRC 250HP – Four Stroke 30-Inch Counter Rotation
The Honda BF250DXCRC pairs a 3.6L V6 VTEC powerhead with iST counter-rotation drive-by-wire controls, built for offshore catamarans on a 30-inch shaft. It spins a 2.00:1 gearcase.
- Counter-rotation lower unit balances dual-engine steering
- 3.6L V6 VTEC generates 250hp
- Drive-by-wire iST delivers seamless electronic shifting
- 30-inch shaft fits deep offshore transoms
Honda BF250DXCRC 250HP V6 iST
The Honda BF250DXCRC is a flagship 250HP Four Stroke VTEC engine designed for high-end US offshore vessel applications requiring digital control. Boasting a 3.6L V6 architecture and a dry weight of 631 lbs, this unit maintains an power-to-weight ratio for sustained maritime performance. The 30-inch extra-extra-long shaft configuration is specifically engineered for high-transom fiberglass hulls requiring a counter-rotation left-hand drive. Our dependable outboard propulsion systems provide the essential thrust for professional deep-sea sportfishing and commercial transit.
Peak performance of the Honda 250HP is maintained across the 5300-6300 RPM range for maximum fuel induction and thermal efficiency. Its 2.00:1 gear ratio is strategically tuned to translate a high-end torque curve into rapid hole-shot performance in rough coastal swells. Built with legendary Japanese engineering, this corrosion-resistant unit incorporates advanced vibration dampening for the comfort required during long-range salt-water excursions across North American coastal waters.
VTEC V6 Architecture
This 250HP Four Stroke V6 VTEC engine uses variable timing to maximize air intake at high operational RPMs. This creates a versatile power band that is ideal for both trolling and high-speed offshore transit. It provides the thermal efficiency that modern US mariners demand for long-range cruising.
30-Inch Counter Shaft
The 30-inch shaft is designed for high-transom offshore vessels requiring deep propeller immersion and hydrodynamic grip. Its counter rotation gearbox balances steering forces in multi-engine arrays for better tracking. This configuration helps support consistent performance on large fiberglass offshore fishing hulls and commercial craft.
PGM-FI Fuel System
The fuel induction system precisely manages the air-fuel mixture to optimize thermal efficiency and reduce overall fuel consumption. This helps support instant throttle response and consistent power delivery during high-speed runs through coastal inlets. It is specifically engineered for the rigors of high-performance American saltwater boating.
Honda Factory Warranty
Honda Marine protects this 250HP unit with a comprehensive 5-year limited warranty for American boat owners. This factory-backed coverage covers major components against manufacturing defects to helps support long-term maritime reliability. It reflects a commitment to quality that professional and recreational mariners depend on daily for their investment.
Maintenance & Longevity
Routine maintenance of the 8.0L oil capacity and wet sump lubrication system is vital for maintaining internal tolerances. Always flush the cooling system thoroughly after saltwater use to maintain the engine’s corrosion-resistant properties.Maintenance note: Follow the manufacturer’s service procedures and lubrication specifications for the engine and gearcase.
