Honda has revealed details of its all-new BF250 outboard engine, which combines a new 3.6-litre V6 EFI engine with the world's first direct air induction system in an outboard – designed to reduce intake air temperature and increase air volume to the engine.
Beneath its distinct, angular and streamlined cowl, the BF250 incorporates exclusive Honda technologies including: BLAST – an advanced ignition timing control system to improves hole-shot performance; ECOmo – a lean burn fuel control system to enhance fuel economy; and VTEC – variable valve timing technology originally developed for Formula One race cars.
The BF250 also features a new high-performance gear case, which enhances hydrodynamic efficiency. Combined with a new gear reduction ratio (2:1), the engine delivers even greater all-round performance, beyond just an increase in horsepower. Shifting effort is further enhanced by the introduction of a new Shifting Load Reduction control system.The Engine Control Unit modifies the ignition timing, resulting in reduced engine torque to lessen the shift load required for the engine to change gear.
