BFT250D

Description

Looking for super power? Our largest, highest horsepower four stroke outboard, the BFT250D, brings a large displacement 3.6 liter V6. This narrow v6 design offers top performance and durability, as well as great fuel economy. The high output alternator provides a 90 amp alternator with 60 charging amps.

The new BFT250D provides a broader torque range and smoother power throughout the engine’s operating range. With an innovated exterior, the improvement of corrosion resistance and water intrusion makes BFT250D the right choice.

FEATURES


Variable Valve Timing and Lift Control

system provides power where and when you need it. This gives you a broader, flatter torque curve and smooth power delivery throughout the engine’s operating range. The result is a superior combination of power, torque and fuel efficiency.

Large Displacement V6

A poweful compact 24 valve Single Overhead Cam [SOHC] design. The narrow V6 design offers top performance and durability as well as great fuel economy.

Separate Dual Air Circuits – Cooler air, more horsepower

The BFT250 has another industry-first; separate dual air circuits. The first is used to cool the engine where air is drawn into the front of engine and circulated around critical engine components. A top mounted cooling fan draws cooling air over the alternator. The second intake circuit directs cooling air from the upper intake vents, separates out moisture, and then inducts it into the throttle body. This system provides for cooler, denser air for better combustion as compared to conventional under-cowl induction systems.

4-front Corrosion Protection System

A patented, “Double Sealed” multi-layered paint process, sacrificial anodes and stainless steel technology, along with waterproof connectors, all enhance corrosion protection.
