The Honda BF250 - A new landmark for performance and consumption
With a unique synergy of automotive and marine engine technologies, the Honda BF250 is the embodiment of Honda's passion for engineering and technical excellence, making it truly worthy of flagship model status. With a striking new hood design incorporating a unique power intake air system and a new 3.6L V6 power plant, the BF250 is ready to provide the ultimate on water experience.
Design with power
With it's V6 3.6L VTEC driven power plant, the BF250 is prepared to set new standards in the 250Hp category with class leading top end performance with auperior levels of fuel efficiency. A striking new hood design incorporated a unique Power Intake Air System, seen for the first time in the outboard industry.
The new Power Intake Air System, in combination with Honda's BLAST and ECOmo technologies, creates a motor with a unique blend of power and economy.
The BF250 features and all new high performance gear case styling which provides enhanced levels of underwater hydrodynamic efficiency. This combined with a new gear reduction ratio (2:1) and a large range of propellers provide high levels of all round perfromance.
Shifting effort is made smoother by the introduction of a new Shift Load Reduction control system. Based on the boat user's operating characteristics, the ECU (Engine Control Unit) will modify the ignition timing, resulting in modified engine torque to lesses the shift load required.
A class leading battery charging system enables the BF250 to deal with the increasing customer demand for additional on board electrical power. during idle speed, a new Automatic Idle Charge system automatically adjusts engine speed via the ECU to raise the charging rate when an increased electrical load is detected.
The BF250 is NMEA2000 compliant, This compliance enables simplified connectivity to all other NMEA2000 devices on board such as chart plotters and fish finders.
Special Features
New large displacement V6
A new 60 degree, V6, 3.6L powerful, compact, 24 valve SOHC design, ensures superior performance, reliabilty and durability based on Honda's historical engineering excellence. The narrow engine concept allows for simplified installation, particularly in multiple engine installation packages.
Racing Technology
VTEC delivers more power, torque and efficiency at every speed. At 4500 RPM, VTEC engages a special high lift cam profile to provide more aire (through increased valve opening) into the combustion chamber, resulting in more engine power. In conjunction with VTEC to further inhance engine performance, VAIS (Variable Air Intake system) works to produce a longer, flatter torque profile; the ultimate in fine tuned performance.
New Power Air Intake System
This new dynamic design feature of the BF250 allows external air to be drawn directly into the engine, preventing increased air temperature associated with some conventional air intake systems. This subsequently develops more engine power.
New Gear Case
The all new gear case profile on the BF250 gently enhances the hydrodynamics of the engine, increasing under water efficiency resulting in less under water drag. A revised gear ration (2:1) has also been introduced. This ratio allows the propeller and engine combination to provide powerful thrust and propeller grip. These two features combined with a new large range of propellers provide high levels of all round performance.
New Shift Load Control
The Honda BF250 features and all new Shift Load control system which reduces operator gear shift effort, providing smoother gear changing. When shifting from forward, reverse and neutral the ECU will analyse the engine speed and throttle position and in turn changes the ignition timing, modifying engine torque.
New Automatic Idle Charge
The BF250 is equipped with a new automatic idle charge system that enables the engine to meet increasing demands to support the on board electronic equipment. At idle speed, if the electrical demand increases, the ECU detects this and increases the engine rpm which results in the alternator producing a higher output.
Boosted Low Speed Torque (BLAST)
Honda's BLAST technology is where ignition timing is advanced in such a manner that it develops more horsepower at low rpm enabling the hull to get on to the plane quicker. Hole shot and acceleration is significantly improved by ignition advance for best torque (MBT) trace control. This patented technology pioneers a new age in 4-stroke outboard engines and will be the benchmark for future Honda engine designs.
Lean Burn Control (ECOmo)
Inclusion of lean burn control offers further improved fuel consumption in cruising mode versus comparable 4 strokes and reduced running costs for boat users.
NMEA2000 Compliant
NMEA2000 compliancy allows the engine to communicate with onboard marine electronics to deliver a wide range of information to head unit displays. When networked with with a Garmin or Lowrance NMEA2000 device, for example, engine data such as speed, rpm, temperature, fuel usage and other data can be displayed on the unit's screen.
