HONDA debuted its all-new flagship BF250 outboard last week at the 2011 Miami International Boat Show.
The manufacturer says the concept BF250 provides the first indication of the design direction for the new outboard, which is planned to be available in Australia towards the end of this year.
Based on a large-displacement 3.6L engine, the concept BF250 has been designed to deliver the optimum balance of performance and fuel efficiency, through exclusive Honda technologies including BLAST – air/fuel ratio linked ignition timing control technology; VTEC – variable valve timing and electronic control; and ECOmo – unique lean burn control system.
The concept engine is also NMEA 2000 compliant, allowing engine-to-electronics data communication to deliver engine management and performance data to compatible marine electronics displays.
