Engine compatibility and applications
- Tohatsu BFT175, BFT200, BFT225 and BFT250 four-stroke outboards using the listed starter reference.
- Honda BF175, BF200, BF225 and BF250 V6 four-stroke outboards using the listed Honda/Mitsubishi starter family.
- Year alone does not prove fitment; Tohatsu BFT engines are based on Honda platforms but model suffix and serial range must still be checked.
Compatibility rule: model and horsepower are not sufficient on their own. Confirm the engine year/serial range, electrical specification, pinion, rotation, mounting points and an OEM reference before ordering.

Before fitting: isolate the battery, photograph and label the cables, compare the old and new units side by side, inspect the flywheel ring gear and clean the electrical connections.
Installation: use the engine manufacturer's torque procedure and reconnect cables with clean, tight terminals. Professional installation is recommended for marine starting systems.
Package contents: one new replacement starter motor. Mounting hardware and cables are not included unless visible and explicitly stated.
Frequently asked questions
Does this fit both Tohatsu BFT and Honda BF engines?
It fits only the selected V6 applications that use the same starter family. Confirm the exact engine model, serial and OEM reference.
Is it suitable for every 175-250HP outboard?
No. It is specific to the listed Tohatsu/Honda four-stroke V6 platforms and is not a universal horsepower-based part.
What must match on the original unit?
Confirm 12V voltage, clockwise rotation, 9-tooth pinion, mounting points, terminals and one of the stated OEM references.
Is professional installation recommended?
Yes. Large-outboard starter circuits carry high current; installation and cable condition should be checked by a competent marine technician.
Important: OEM names and part numbers are supplied only as compatibility references. This is a replacement component unless the listing explicitly states otherwise.
