2016 Honda Marine BF250

Redefining best in class.

With a unique blend of automotive and marine engine technologies, Honda's flagship, award winning BF250 is a showcase of engineering and technical excellence. With new technology like a unique air induction system, AMP+, a variable idle charging system, and a new gear case, youre looking at a first-class outboard like no other.

The BF250 also offers the option of Hondas exclusive Intelligent Shift and Throttle, or iST. iST provides all the features boaters are looking for, including:

• Allows for up to 4 engines and 2 control stations
• Effortless control
• Fine tuning of throttle settings at any speed
• Enhanced docking and slow speed control
• User-programmable system defaults
• Simple, easy to understand user interface

Of course, the BF250 also includes tried and true exclusive Honda technology. Like the BLAST system for a vastly improved hole shot, VTEC technology for more power where and when you want it, and Lean Burn Control for optimal fuel economy. These technologies deliver on Honda's promise of unparalleled performance, power and fuel efficiency.

Combine all this with Honda Marines True 5 Non-Declining Warranty, Honda's legendary quality and reliability, and our award winning dealer network, and youve got the right power plant for your boat.

Features May Include:

• Superb control and easy installation: iST Intelligent Shift and Throttle

Honda's exclusive iST (Intelligent Shift and Throttle) gives you effortless control of your outboard. iST offers multi-engine applications, with fine tuning of throttle settings at any speed, enhanced docking and slow speed control, and a simple, easy to understand user interface. Available on select BF250 models.

• Instant Acceleration: BLAST System

Boosted Low Speed Torque, or BLAST, improves acceleration at low speeds. A quick movement of the throttle control activates the BLAST system, advancing the ignition curve aggressively. "Hole Shot" is vastly improved as more horsepower gets the hull up on plane quicker.

• Smooth acceleration and power: VTEC Technology

Hondas 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 engines operating range. The result is a superior combination of power, torque and fuel economy. VTEC is the modern replacement for displacement.

• Superior fuel efficiency - Lean Burn Control

Lean Burn Control increases fuel efficiency by allowing combustion to operate on a leaner air/fuel mixture. At cruising speed, this engine runs on up to 30% less fuel* than others in its class.

*Based on EPA Specific Fuel Consumption Mode.

• AMP+ for additional charging at idle

The BF250 has an industry-first feature, AMP+. At idle, when the engine senses a need for additional amperage, AMP+ automatically increases the rpms by 100 to produce an additional 9 amps. This feature helps prevent the draining of critical battery power when using multiple accessories, a concern when youre fishing miles offshore.
