The Honda BF250 iST® represents the pinnacle of outboard engineering, combining a sophisticated 3.6-liter 60° V6 engine with Honda’s revolutionary iST® (Intelligent Shift and Throttle) drive-by-wire system. Drawing from Honda’s automotive engineering excellence shared with the Odyssey and Pilot, this powerhouse delivers 250 horsepower with exceptional reliability and fuel efficiency.

VTEC® technology provides variable valve timing that creates a broader, flatter torque curve, ensuring optimal power delivery across all RPM ranges. Whether accelerating from idle or maintaining cruising speeds, the engine responds with smooth, progressive power that makes every outing effortless. The BLAST™ system aggressively advances ignition timing for dramatically improved holeshots, getting your boat on plane faster than conventional outboards.

The iST® drive-by-wire system transforms boat control with intuitive digital precision, supporting up to four engines and dual control stations. This technology enables seamless integration with advanced systems like the Optimus 360 joystick for effortless docking and maneuvering. Key fob security, push-button starting, and programmable system defaults add convenience and peace of mind.

Honda’s Lean Burn Control technology maximizes fuel efficiency by optimizing the air-fuel mixture, delivering up to 20% better fuel economy than competitors. The high-output 90-amp alternator with AMP+® technology automatically provides an additional 9 amps at idle when electrical demands increase, ensuring reliable power for all onboard electronics.

Built to withstand harsh marine conditions, the BF250 iST® features Honda’s comprehensive corrosion protection system, dual air circuits for cleaner intake air, and a robust 60° V6 design that balances compact dimensions with exceptional durability. The 25″ extra-long shaft and standard rotation make this engine ideal for larger vessels and versatile installation configurations, whether single or multi-engine applications.
