Honda Marine presents improved V6 and four-cylinder outboards at the Paris Nautic Show 2025.

Honda Marine will be presenting its latest outboard engines at the first edition of the Paris Nautic Show at the Parc des Expositions du Bourget from 26 to 30 November 2025. On an exhibition area of almost 1,000 square metres, the Japanese engine manufacturer will be showcasing its latest product innovations together with ten boatbuilding partners.

Honda Marine optimises all models

The focus is on the revised V6 outboards in the power classes BF200 to BF250 and the improved four-cylinder in-line engines BF115, BF135 and BF150, all of which have been optimised in terms of performance, durability, comfort and fuel efficiency and given a new design language inspired by the flagship BF350 V8.

The improved four-cylinder and V6 engines are now equipped with electronic drive-by-wire control, which was previously reserved for the flagship BF350 V8. This technology enables an automatic trim function and cruise control, which makes operation easier, especially on longer journeys. The electronic control system is characterised by an intuitive user interface and can be adapted for configurations with up to four engines.

Sporty character

The new V6 outboards are available in three typical Honda colours: Aquamarine Silver, Grand Prix White and Sporty White. The latter colour variant is now also available for the most powerful engine in the range, the BF350 V8. The white and red colour combination is inspired by the Honda Racing Corporation and underlines the sporty character of the 257 kW (350 hp) eight-cylinder engine.

Technical data

  • BF350 V8: 5.0-litre V8 engine with 60-degree V-angle, 257 kW (350 hp), VTEC technology (Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control)
  • V6 outboard engine: BF200 to BF250, new electronic control unit with automatic trim function and cruise control
  • Four-cylinder in-line engines: BF115, BF135, BF150, also with new electronic control unit
