Engine Alert System

The Engine Alert System monitors vital engine functions and prevents engine damage by alerting the operator of: overheating, water in fuel, low oil PSI, battery, over-rev, and critical engine function.

2-Pass Cooling System

The unique cooling system passes through each aluminum exhaust manifold, the cylinder heads, and once again through the exhaust manifolds. This results in increased cooling efficiency and long-term durability.

Intelligent Shift & Throttle

iST: Superb Control

Honda's exclusive Intelligent Shift and Throttle (iST) command and control system delivers superb control plus plug-and-play installation of Honda Marine products and third-party controls and devices.

Easy Ownership

Simplified maintenance

The little things make a big difference. The BF200, 225, and 250 are designed to reduce maintenance time for routine tasks like oil and filter changes.

3 latch lock & seal cover

Easy to remove and carry the cover, simplifying maintenance access.

On-board connectivity

NMEA 2000 protocols allow engine data to be interfaced with on-board systems and systems displays, such as SONAR or GPS.

Extra Charging Power

Save your battery with AMP+

At idle, when the engine senses a need for additional amperage, AMP+ automatically increases the rpm’s by 100 to produce an additional 9 amps. This helps prevent the draining of critical battery power when using multiple accessories.

High Output Charging for more usable power

The charging system features a 90 amp "On Demand" belt-driven alternator with 60 charging amps. This superior design reduces heat buildup and provides outstanding battery charging across the RPM range.
