Tohatsu MFS20EEPTS 20HP Outboard – 15in Shaft, Power Tilt

Description

Luxury inflatable tenders gain incredible maneuverability when the Tohatsu MFS20EEPTS brings its 333cc displacement to the transom. The battery-less Electronic Fuel Injection system atomizes gas perfectly to deliver instant throttle response while navigating crowded marina basins. Verifying your exact transom geometry ensures this 15 inch short shaft power tilt outboard mounts securely without causing excessive lower unit hydrodynamic drag.

Avoid catastrophic propeller strikes in shallow anchorages by utilizing the integrated hydraulic power tilt system to adjust your running draft instantly. You elevate the 48 kg gearcase directly from your operating position to clear submerged oyster beds effortlessly. Engineers cast the lower unit housing using specialized anti-corrosion marine aluminum. This structural barrier stops rapid galvanic decay when repowering small fiberglass skiffs in harsh high-salinity coastal environments.

Key Features of Tohatsu MFS20EEPTS

• Hydraulic Power Tilt: Lifts the gearcase completely clear of mud flats mechanically, preventing gearcase drag and catastrophic shallow water propeller strikes.
• 15-Inch Standard Shaft: Matches low dinghy transoms perfectly exactly, preventing excessive drag from a deep gearcase and increasing top-end speeds drastically.
• Battery-Less EFI Technology: Atomizes fuel perfectly using internal magnetic power, guaranteeing reliable cold-weather pull starts if your primary 12-volt battery dies.
• Turn-Key Electric Start: Engages the flywheel instantly via 12-volt battery power, eliminating shoulder strain completely during freezing early morning boat launches.
• Versatile Steering Compatibility: Accepts standard mechanical remote cables or advanced tiller handles depending entirely on your specific boat layout requirements.
• 12-Amp Charging Alternator: Outputs constant electrical current at cruising speeds, keeping deep cycle house batteries fully charged for heavy-duty marine electronics.
• 333cc Inline-Two Block: Produces massive low-end torque internally, lifting heavy aluminum work boats and displacement pontoon hulls effortlessly onto plane.
• 2.15:1 Gear Ratio: Multiplies engine torque effectively, translating the 333cc displacement into relentless pushing force for heavily loaded commercial skiffs.
• Anti-Corrosion Finish: Blocks severe galvanic decay physically, protecting the aluminum powerhead block across decades of daily saltwater exposure.
• Clean Four-Stroke Combustion: Burns fuel with strict efficiency, guaranteeing peak performance while meeting modern clean-air environmental standards globally.

Why Choose Tohatsu MFS20EEPTS

Choosing this specific engine limits installation entirely to 15-inch transoms requiring power tilt capabilities. You cannot bolt this onto a tall 20-inch skiff safely without sacrificing water pump immersion. Correcting helm geometry is a key step when finding a reliable short shaft power tilt outboard replacement.

• Measure the vertical distance from your top transom edge to the keel bottom.
• Install corresponding mechanical control cables sized exactly for your specific boat length.
• Keep coastal waters clean by running highly regulated four-stroke engine configurations.

Ideal Application and Vessel Fitment

This 15-inch power-tilt outboard excels on premium inflatable tenders, low-profile fiberglass micro-skiffs, and luxury dinghies equipped with steering consoles. By integrating a 333cc displacement block with battery-less EFI technology, the engine acts as an incredibly efficient mechanical workhorse. The integrated power tilt allows captains to lift the gearcase safely in shallow water, making this lightweight 20hp electric start outboard an absolute necessity for coastal anglers operating in tidal zones.

Warranty, Support and Maintenance

Authorized recreational operation receives a 5-Year Limited Warranty alongside exceptional factory support. Registered commercial applications fall under a strict 1-Year Limited Warranty with zero corrosion coverage applied to the block. Scheduled maintenance requires replacing gearcase lubricants and changing oil filters at manual-specified intervals. Always save all physical service records. Your engine serial number acts as the only way to source exact genuine replacement parts. Mulmotor provides product-information support before purchase and assistance with order-related questions.
