Tohatsu 250HP | BFT250DXCRA

Weighing 626 lbs on a 25-inch shaft, the Tohatsu BFT250DXCRA spins a counter-rotating, six-cylinder block at 250 hp, a mid-length shaft among the options Tohatsu builds at this horsepower, run from a console-mounted control with an electric starter. Mid-length shaft, counter-rotating lower unit This shaft length suits a mid-depth transom, shorter than the longest shaft Tohatsu offers at 250 hp but longer than the base option; measure your transom before ordering to match the right length for your boat. Running opposite to a standard engine, the counter-rotating lower unit here is meant to sit alongside a standard-rotation motor in a twin-engine install, where the two offset each other's steering pull. Power and standard equipment Across six cylinders, this engine displaces 3583cc, with full throttle landing somewhere between 5,300 and 6,300 rpm. An electric starter, the counter-rotating lower unit, a fuel line hose, the charging system, the owner's manual, a cord for the kill switch, and power trim and tilt make up the standard kit here. Q: Does this need to run paired with another engine? Not necessarily, but counter-rotation is designed with twin-engine installs in mind from the outset. Q: How long is this engine covered? Tohatsu provides 5 years of warranty coverage on it. Q: What's the overall weight with the lower unit fitted? 626 lbs, as equipped with the counter-rotating gear and power trim and tilt.
