ohatsu 150HP | BFT150DXRA

This Tohatsu BFT150DXRA brings 150 HP from a four-cylinder, fuel-injected engine on a 25-inch shaft, with remote mechanical steering and electric start built for boats that need real power on a deep transom.

Shaft length and controls

Measure your transom first: 25 inches suits larger offshore and bay boats rather than smaller hulls, and the remote mechanical steering here needs a matching helm and cable setup rather than a tiller. Four cylinders displace 2,354 cc, fed by electronic fuel injection, with an operating range that tops out between 5,000 and 6,000 rpm, and the motor weighs 485 pounds.

Standard equipment

Electric start pairs with power trim and tilt as standard gear, along with a fuel line hose and an onboard charging system. A stop switch lanyard and an owner's manual round out the package, and Tohatsu stands behind the engine with a 5-year warranty. Boats already rigged with remote mechanical steering from a previous big outboard are the simplest match, since little beyond the motor itself needs to change.

Common questions

Does power trim and tilt come standard? Yes, both are standard features on this engine.

How long is the warranty term? Five years, covered directly by Tohatsu.

Is this engine suited to twin installs? The specification sheet doesn't note rotation options one way or the other, so confirm with us if you're pairing two motors.

Since steering is remote rather than tiller-based, confirm your helm and cable setup with us first if you're not certain it will match.
