Tohatsu BFT225DXCRA 225HP 25″ Mechanical Counter Motor
The Tohatsu BFT225DXCRA combines a 3.6L V6 powerhead with counter-rotation mechanical steering, built for commercial catamarans on a 25-inch shaft. It spins a 2.00:1 gear ratio.
- Counter-rotation lower unit eliminates steering pull
- 3.6L V6 engine produces 225HP
- 2.00:1 gearcase turns large-diameter props
- 90A alternator supports heavy electrical demands
- 25-inch shaft suits deep offshore transoms
The Tohatsu BFT225DXCRA is a 225hp counter rotation outboard designed with a 25-inch shaft for multi-engine offshore boats. This 3.6-liter 60-degree V6 platform produces immense structural density through its 3583 cc displacement while maintaining an optimized dry weight of 600 lbs to maximize pure marine performance. Engineered explicitly for mid-transom configurations, the 25-inch shaft length helps support ideal propeller depth and balanced tracking across heavy-duty fiberglass hulls navigating rough open ocean waters.
The 5000 to 6000 RPM operating range should be matched to the boat, load, propeller, and intended use. The 2.00:1 gear ratio should be matched with an appropriate propeller and boat setup. under heavy loads. This Japanese-built outboard leverages advanced block harmonics to eliminate low-frequency hull vibrations during severe long-range deep-sea operations.
Maximum Acceleration Fuel Induction
Programmed fuel injection sprays gasoline straight into the intake tracks for clean combustion cycles on 87 octane fuel. This delivery system is designed to support immediate throttle response and flawless cold starts during changing early morning coastal marine conditions.
Heavy Duty Diameter Gearcase
Oversized internal gears and a 5-inch diameter lower unit housing maximize hydrodynamic thrust while canceling out heavy steering pull. This mechanics minimizes lower-unit chatter while ensuring steady propeller tracking when backing down on game fish.
Cowling Access And Lubrication
Fast access to critical checking points is provided by a multi-piece outer cowling structure that cuts service times down significantly. Changing the internal fluid volume remains completely clean thanks to an engineered drain plug location that prevents spoiling oil.Maintenance note: Follow the manufacturer’s service procedures and lubrication specifications for the engine and gearcase.
