Tohatsu 200HP Outboard | BFT200DXRA

The Tohatsu 200 HP BFT200DXRA is a new 6-cylinder, four-stroke outboard displacing 3471cc, built for boats that need big power without added weight. Tohatsu lists it as lightweight and quiet for its output class, with construction meant to handle towing duty as well as day-to-day running.

What it is for

At 200 HP, this motor targets larger fishing and pleasure boats that need real towing reserve and the ability to push a bigger hull onto plane quickly. A joystick-style throttle control is built in for smooth speed adjustment, and dual tanks help extend time on the water between fill-ups.

What to check before buying

• Shaft length: sized for a 25-inch transom.
• Steering: remote mechanical steering, not tiller.
• Starter and electrical: electric start with a built-in charging system for onboard accessories.

What comes with it

Standard equipment includes electric start, power trim and tilt, a fuel line hose, the charging system, a stop switch lanyard, and the owner's manual. The lower unit uses an aluminum propeller shaft with rigid stainless steel shafts and bearings, and a rubber belt pulley drive system.

What is the full-throttle range? 5000 to 6000 rpm.

How much does it weigh? 595 pounds.

What is the warranty? Tohatsu backs this model with a 5-year warranty.

This engine suits commercial-leaning or heavy-use boaters as much as weekend cruisers, given the construction and the dual-tank setup aimed at longer days away from the dock. Tohatsu outboards
