The Honda BF25D3SHG represents Honda’s proven mid-range outboard engineering, delivering robust 25 horsepower through a sophisticated 3-cylinder SOHC 6-valve engine designed for diverse marine applications. The 15″ short shaft configuration with center mount tiller handle makes this outboard ideal for boats with higher transoms and shallow water applications, including bass boats, aluminum boats, and smaller vessels where direct operator control and optimal propeller positioning are essential.
The ergonomically designed center mount tiller handle provides superior control and reduced steering effort while minimizing driver fatigue. The tiller features convenient up-front controls including a forward mount shift lever for fingertip shifting, twist grip throttle with friction adjustment for precise control, and integrated engine alert lamps for enhanced safety and convenience. The longer tiller handle design offers improved handling and easier maneuvering in tight spaces.
Built upon Honda’s proven marine engineering foundation, the BF25D3SHG features the innovative 3-to-3 induction system – a lightweight, compact design that utilizes one carburetor per cylinder. This configuration is more responsive than competitive throttle bodies with long intake runners, resulting in smooth, quiet operation with instant throttle response and superior performance characteristics that make it whisper quiet among the lightest engines in its class.
Honda’s legendary reliability shines through with consistent performance and dependable operation. The advanced PGM ignition system features a reliable microprocessor that accurately controls ignition timing during start-up and across the entire RPM range, providing optimum overall operation. The autostart enrichment system automatically adjusts the air-fuel mixture for quick, easy starting and warm-up.
The robust 10-amp alternator provides reliable charging power for essential electronics and onboard systems. The patented non-linear rubber mounting system provides smoother operation at all engine speeds, reducing vibration for enhanced comfort during operation.
The classic Aquamarine Silver finish provides excellent corrosion resistance while maintaining Honda’s distinctive marine aesthetic that has defined quality marine propulsion for decades. Standard features include a crankshaft-driven automotive-style trochoid oil pump for positive lubrication ensuring long-term durability, engine alert system with visual and audio alerts for overheating and low oil pressure prevention, 3-inlet cooling system for optimal temperature control, and Honda’s comprehensive corrosion protection system featuring sacrificial anodes and water-resistant connectors designed to withstand harsh marine environments.
Perfect for bass boats, aluminum boats, and smaller vessels requiring 15″ shaft length with tiller handle operation, the Honda BF25D3SHG combines proven 3-cylinder reliability with responsive carburetor technology and ergonomic tiller design, delivering the dependable performance that recreational anglers and small boat enthusiasts demand for their marine adventures where direct control, shallow water capability, and proven operation are valued.
