INSTALLATION
Propeller Selection
Select the adequate propeller so that
the engine speed at full throttle is
BFT115A: 4,500 min
-1
(rpm) to
6,000 min
-1
(rpm). BFT150A: 5,000
min
-1
(rpm) to 6,000 min
-1
(rpm)
when the boat is loaded.
Engine speed varies according to the
propeller size and the boat condition.
Use of the outboard motor outside the
full throttle speed range will
adversely affect the engine and cause
serious problem. Use of the correct
propeller assures powerful
acceleration, top speed, excellency in
terms of economy and cruising
comfort, and it assures longer engine
life as well.
Consult with your authorized
TOHATSU outboard motor dealer for
proper propeller selection.
