Tohatsu 250HP | BFT250DURA

The Tohatsu BFT250DURA turns the standard six-cylinder rotation at 250 hp, the conventional counterpart to the counter-rotating build at the same 30-inch shaft length, weighing 635 lbs with console steering and an electric starter.

Standard rotation, long shaft

Turning the conventional direction, this engine suits a single-engine install, or pairs as one half of a twin setup alongside a counter-rotating unit elsewhere in the lineup. The shaft here is the longest Tohatsu builds at 250 hp, meant for boats with a deep transom setback.

Power and equipment

Six cylinders share 3583cc of displacement, and the throttle tops out at 6,300 rpm, running as low as 5,300 at that upper band. This one carries an electric starter, power trim and tilt, the charging system, a fuel hose for the line, the owner's manual, and a cord tied to the kill switch.

Q: Is a counter-rotating version of this build available? Yes, Tohatsu offers a counter-rotating equivalent at the same shaft length elsewhere in the 250 hp lineup.

Q: What does Tohatsu cover on this engine? A 5-year factory warranty from the date of purchase.

Q: How many cylinders and what's the displacement? Six cylinders totaling 3583cc, the same block used across the standard and counter-rotating 250 hp builds.

Q: Does the 30-inch shaft suit most boats at this horsepower? It's built for boats with a deep transom setback specifically, not the standard-depth transoms the shorter-shaft 250 hp builds are sized for.
