Tohatsu MFS40AETL 40HP 4-Stroke 20″ Shaft Outboard Motor
Description
Tohatsu 40HP MFS40AETL EFI Power Tilt Long
Featuring an 866cc three-cylinder engine family, the Tohatsu 40HP MFS40AETL serves as a high-torque solution for US boaters requiring a prop-rated propulsion unit with superior thermal stability. This 40HP four-stroke technology utilizes a lightweight SOHC design to minimize internal vibration, effectively converting internal combustion into efficient thrust for high-transom utilities and fiberglass skiffs. The 20-inch long shaft design provides an optimized center of gravity for deeper hulls, while the electric start and integrated power trim and tilt system ensure immediate, reliable ignition across diverse inland and coastal environments.
Operational longevity of the MFS40AETL model is secured through a specialized pressurized lubrication system featuring a high-flow oil pump to maintain internal cleanliness. To facilitate easy after-storage starts, the unit employs a vapor-free fuel induction system with a 252W alternator for accessory charging, while the Tohatsu High-Grade Marine Alloy utilizes a multi-layer finish to mitigate oxidation in high-salinity waters. With a 100-hour service interval and an ergonomic remote control compatibility, this fuel-efficient outboard provides superior ownership value for boaters seeking a quiet, low-emission engine with specialized transom heights.
