Weight:217.000 Kgs
The Honda BF135DK1XCRU is a 135 HP four-stroke outboard with a counter-rotating gearcase, allowing the propeller to turn in the opposite direction to a standard-rotation engine. It is intended primarily for twin-engine installations alongside a standard-rotation BF135, helping balance propeller torque and improve boat stability and handling.
The XCRU version features a 635 mm (25″) extra-long X shaft, electric starting and mechanical remote control. It is equipped with electro-hydraulic Power Trim & Tilt and a 12 V/40 A alternator.
It is suitable for twin-engine RIBs, powerboats, leisure craft and sport-fishing boats with high transoms, typically around 6–9 m long.
*The control box, cables, gauges, steering system and counter-rotating propeller must be selected according to the boat and the supplied package.
Quick Buy
The Honda BF135DK1XCRU is a dependable 135 HP four-stroke outboard designed primarily for twin-engine installations. Its counter-rotating gearcase turns the propeller in the opposite direction to a standard-rotation BF135. Pairing both rotation directions reduces steering pull, balances propeller torque and improves control during acceleration, manoeuvring and higher-speed operation.
The 2354 cc inline four-cylinder engine features a 16-valve DOHC cylinder head and Honda PGM-FI electronic fuel injection. It delivers smooth running, strong torque and efficient performance at cruising speed.
The XCRU version has a 635 mm (25″) extra-long X shaft for boats with a matching high transom. Mechanical remote control uses a helm-mounted control lever and conventional cables for throttle and gear selection. Electro-hydraulic Power Trim & Tilt allows the operating angle to be adjusted and the engine to be raised when required.
The 12 V/40 A alternator charges the battery and supports standard navigation electronics, lighting and other onboard equipment. Engine protection functions monitor oil pressure, temperature and engine speed.

Application and additional equipment
The BF135DK1XCRU is best suited to twin-engine RIBs, powerboats and sport-fishing boats with 25″ transoms, typically around 6–9 m long. It should be paired with a compatible standard-rotation engine. Combined output, weight and installation must comply with the boat manufacturer’s requirements.
Installation may require a dual-engine control box, mechanical control cables and wiring, gauges, twin-engine hydraulic steering, batteries, fuel system, fuel/water separators and a correctly sized counter-rotating propeller. Exact package contents should be confirmed before ordering.
Who it’s for
For boats rated for a 135 HP engine with a compatible transom and permitted engine weight. Configuration: extra-long X shaft; remote steering. Check the exact variant before ordering.
FAQ
Which configuration does the Honda BF135DK1XCRU offer?
135 HP; extra-long X shaft; remote steering; electric starting.
Are throttle and shift electronic or mechanical?
This version uses mechanical remote throttle and shift. Select compatible controls and cables for the installation.
Will it fit my boat?
Check maximum permitted engine power and weight, transom height and installation requirements in the boat documentation. Hull length alone does not establish compatibility.
What should I confirm for installation?
Provide the boat model and exact product code. Confirm the propeller and fuel system, remote controls, cables, instruments and steering system, plus the required starting battery. Delivery contents must be checked for the specific SKU.
How should the propeller be selected?
Selection depends on hull design, loaded boat weight and the engine operating range. Do not choose diameter and pitch by horsepower alone; confirm suitability for the specific installation.
Which details should I send before ordering?
Provide your boat model, rated maximum engine power and weight, transom height and preferred steering arrangement. Refer to the selected variant and order confirmation for availability and lead time.
Is this a counter-rotating version?
Yes, it uses counter rotation. For a twin-engine installation, match rotation, propellers and controls; do not substitute a standard-rotation model based on horsepower alone.
