Tohatsu 250HP | BFT250DUCRA

Weighing 635 lbs on a 30-inch shaft, the Tohatsu BFT250DUCRA puts 250 hp through a counter-rotating, six-cylinder block, steered from a console with an electric starter aboard. Why counter-rotation matters A counter-rotating lower unit spins opposite to a standard engine, built for pairing with a standard-rotation motor on a twin-engine boat to cancel out steering pull at speed; run it alone on a single-engine boat and the counter-rotation simply goes unused without costing other performance anywhere. A longer shaft for deeper transoms This is the longest shaft Tohatsu builds at 250 hp, intended for boats with a deep transom setback; confirm that measurement before ordering, since this length on a shallower transom would run inefficiently in the water. Power and equipment Displacement is 3583cc across six cylinders, with the throttle climbing from 5,300 rpm to 6,300 at the top of its range. The crate brings the counter-rotating lower unit, power trim and tilt, the charging system, an electric starter, a fuel line hose, the owner's manual, and a lanyard clipped to the kill switch. Tohatsu's warranty on this engine runs 5 years. Q: Can this run alone without a matching standard-rotation engine? Yes, though counter-rotation is built with twin-engine pairing in mind from the start. Q: What's the full-throttle rpm range on this engine? 5,300 up to 6,300 rpm, across 3583cc and six cylinders.
