Tohatsu 150HP | BFT150DXCRA

Twin-engine boats that need opposing propeller rotation are the reason the Tohatsu BFT150DXCRA exists, a counter-rotating 150 HP four-stroke outboard on a 25-inch shaft.

Counter-rotation and controls

Counter-rotating lower units are typically paired on multi-engine installations to cancel out steering torque between motors; check with the boat's rigging plan that counter-rotation is what the application calls for before ordering. The motor uses a joystick-style throttle and shift control system for smooth, precise handling at the helm. Confirm with whoever handles the rigging that the helm's controls are compatible with the rest of the boat's electronics before ordering.

Engine specification

The 2354cc, EFI-fed four-cylinder engine tops out at full throttle somewhere between 5000 and 6000 RPM. Tohatsu lists this motor at 485 lbs, a number worth weighing against the transom and rigging of a multi-engine installation before ordering.

Standard equipment

Standard gear includes electric start and the counter-rotating lower unit up front, then trim and tilt, charging, a fuel line hose, and a stop-switch lanyard, finished off with an owner's manual and the five-year Tohatsu warranty.

Common questions

Does this motor rotate the same direction as a standard outboard? No, this is a counter-rotating lower unit meant to pair with a standard-rotation motor on multi-engine boats. What is the listed weight? 485 lbs.
