Tohatsu MFS20EEFS 20HP Outboard – 15in Shaft

Description

Freezing early morning launches demand the push-button ignition of the Tohatsu MFS20EEFS electric-start tiller. The 333cc EFI block atomizes fuel perfectly across the RPM band, pushing lightweight fiberglass skiffs through winding marsh channels with aggressive throttle response. Measuring your transom height validates this 15 inch short shaft outboard fits perfectly without creating excessive hydrodynamic drag.

Clear submerged rocky obstacles safely in shallow creeks by utilizing the manual tilt bracket as an immediate physical lifting mechanism. You pull the 43 kg gearcase upward instantly to prevent devastating propeller impacts. Tohatsu builds the external assembly with low-copper marine aluminum. This physical barrier stops galvanic decay when repowering small aluminum boats in brackish water.

Key Features of Tohatsu MFS20EEFS

• Turn-Key Electric Start: Engages the flywheel instantly via 12-volt battery power, eliminating shoulder strain completely during freezing early morning launches.
• Battery-Less EFI Backup: Atomizes fuel perfectly using internal magnetic power, guaranteeing reliable cold-weather pull starts if your primary starting battery fails.
• 15-Inch Standard Shaft: Matches low dinghy transoms perfectly, preventing lower unit drag and maximizing fuel efficiency on light inflatable hulls.
• Multi-Function Tiller Handle: Concentrates shift and throttle inputs squarely in your grip, sharpening handling response in narrow twisting creeks.
• 12-Amp Charging Alternator: Outputs constant electrical current while running, keeping small deep cycle batteries topped off for navigation lights.
• Manual Tilt Bracket: Features a rigid mechanical lock, safely holding the gearcase out of the water physically while moored at the dock.
• 333cc Inline-Two Block: Produces massive low-end torque internally, lifting heavily loaded 12-foot rigid dinghies onto plane much faster.
• Low-Copper Marine Alloy: Blocks severe galvanic decay physically, protecting the powerhead block across decades of daily saltwater exposure.
• 2.15:1 Gearcase Ratio: Multiplies engine torque effectively, translating the 333cc displacement into relentless pushing force for loaded hunting skiffs.
• Clean Four-Stroke Combustion: Burns unleaded fuel highly efficiently without messy two-stroke oil mixing, keeping your tender completely free of oil slicks.

Why Choose Tohatsu MFS20EEFS

You buy this motor to keep rigging dead simple on a standard 15-inch transom boat. It offers zero remote steering capability and lacks heavy power trim components. Do not attempt to mount this short shaft on a 20-inch tall transom. Finding a reliable electric start portable outboard solves heavy payload limits on small hulls.

• Weigh your boat to verify it safely handles this specific 43 kg engine block mass.
• Check the tiller handle sweep path to confirm it clears your rear seating bench.
• Keep local lakes clean by running highly regulated four-stroke engine configurations.

Ideal Application and Vessel Fitment

This ultra-portable 15-inch outboard thrives on small inflatable tenders, flat-bottom jon boats, and rigid fiberglass dinghies requiring minimalist power with maximum convenience. Because it features push-button electric starting paired with battery-less EFI, operators gain absolute ignition reliability for remote area fishing. The direct tiller control provides complete directional thrust, making this lightweight 20hp electric start outboard an incredibly nimble propulsion choice for navigating crowded anchorages and tight backwater creeks safely.

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.
