Tohatsu 150HP BFT150AXA Outboard Motor

This used Tohatsu BFT150AXA is the 25-inch-shaft version of Tohatsu's inline four-cylinder 150 HP four-stroke, built with remote mechanical steering and electric start.

Longer shaft, same engine family

Like the shorter-shaft BFT150ALA, torque delivery here is broadened by Tohatsu's valve timing and lift control technology rather than tuned for one specific RPM range, with a 2354cc EFI powerhead and a full throttle range of 5000 to 6000 RPM. This is the same inline four-cylinder engine as the shorter-shaft ALA, just rigged with more length between the mounting bracket and the propeller. A taller transom is the reason to pick this 25-inch shaft over a shorter build in the same engine family, so measure before ordering.

Buying used

Request the hour count and any service records before committing, since this is a used unit and condition varies from new. Photos of the powerhead and lower unit are worth asking for before paying on any used outboard in this class. Tohatsu puts this model's weight at 485 lbs, and a five-year warranty term applies.

Fit notes

Weigh the 25-inch shaft against the boat's actual transom depth rather than assuming it matches a boat previously rigged for the shorter version of this engine.
