Honda’s BLAST is designed to improve acceleration at low speed.

When you move the throttle quickly, BLAST advances the ignition timing to its maximum. At the same time the air/fuel ratio becomes richer to prevent knock. Torque is greatly increased.

The result? Strong acceleration when you need it. And “hole shot” is vastly improved, as more horsepower gets the hull up on plane quicker.

This feature increases fuel efficiency by allowing combustion to operate on a leaner air-to-fuel mixture. At cruising speed, Honda engines run on up to 20% less fuel than other comparably sized outboards.

Honda’s Variable Valve Timing & Lift Electronic Control (VTEC^®) system provides power where and when you need it.  VTEC gives you a broader, flatter torque curve and smooth power delivery throughout the engine’s operating range. The result is a superior combination of power, torque and fuel efficiency.

BF250
The BF250 features an industry first advance in technology: separate dual air circuits. This system provides for cooler, denser air for better combustion as compared to conventional under-cowl induction systems.

The first is used to cool the engine where air is drawn into the front of the engine and circulated around critical engine components. A top mounted cooling fan draws cooling air over the alternator.

The second intake circuit directs cool air from the upper intake vents, separates out any moisture, and then inducts it into the throttle body.

Honda’s patented 4-Front corrosion paint process creates a tight barrier between the engine and environment. This double sealed, multi-layered process helps to keep your engine looking and performing like new.

Sacrificial anodes protect the engine from galvanic corrosion.

AMP+ helps prevent critical battery power drain, a concern when you’re fishing miles offshore.

At idle speeds, AMP+ automatically increases the rpms by 100 to produce an additional 9 amps when the engine senses a need for additional amperage.

This feature works best when accessories such as Sonar, GPS, Lighting, Stereo, Live Wells and Trolling Motors are all operating simultaneously.
