Tohatsu MFS40AJETETL 40HP Outboard – 20in Shaft

Description

Extreme shallow water navigation is effortless when the Tohatsu MFS40AJETETL pushes loaded micro-skiffs upstream. The 866cc EFI block generates raw power to offset the internal pump loss, delivering explosive jet thrust across skinny tidal flats. Verifying your hull geometry confirms this 20 inch jet drive tohatsu outboard mounts properly to tall 25-inch transoms without starving the intake grate.

Optimize your running draft in extreme shallows instantly by relying on the integrated hydraulic power trim and tilt to adjust the jet angle dynamically. You tweak the hull attitude directly from the helm to maintain peak water flow into the pump. Engineers cast the 96 kg jet pump housing from heavy-duty impact alloys. This structural barrier survives direct gravel bar impacts when repowering mid-sized aluminum boats for remote river running.

Key Features of Tohatsu MFS40AJETETL

• Direct Drive Jet Pump: Eliminates the vulnerable lower unit gearcase entirely, allowing safe navigation over shallow rocky riverbeds without catastrophic drivetrain damage.
• 866cc Powerhead Block: Generates 40 horsepower internally to offset jet pump parasitic loss, delivering a true 28-30 horsepower of thrust at the nozzle.
• Hydraulic Power Trim: Adjusts the running angle dynamically via a console switch, optimizing hull attitude instantly to maintain a flat, shallow draft.
• 20-Inch Jet Configuration: Designed specifically for 25-inch tall jet transoms, placing the intake grate perfectly flush with the flat hull bottom.
• Remote Steering Compatibility: Accepts standard mechanical cables directly from your forward helm, integrating flawlessly for precise directional control in narrow rivers.
• 21-Amp Charging Alternator: Outputs massive electrical current underway, powering essential navigation lights and multiple fish finders reliably against strong river currents.
• Turn-Key Electric Start: Engages the flywheel instantly via 12-volt battery power, eliminating physical pull strain completely during freezing early morning launches.
• Impact-Deflecting Alloy Housing: Forms a rigid structural barrier around the jet pump volute, defying severe abrasion from gravel and sand ingestion.
• Through-Pump Exhaust: Channels toxic combustion gases directly into the high-velocity water stream, keeping the operator station completely free of smoke.
• Clean Four-Stroke Combustion: Burns fuel highly efficiently without oil mixing, easily meeting strict local waterway emissions regulations and EPA standards.

Why Choose Tohatsu MFS40AJETETL

You select this specialized jet outboard strictly to run extreme shallow water rivers from a remote forward console or tiller. It demands a flat-bottom hull with a 25-inch tall transom to align the jet intake properly. Securing a power tilt jet outboard prevents catastrophic lower unit destruction.

• Confirm your flat-bottom aluminum hull features a strict 25-inch jet-cut transom.
• Install corresponding mechanical control cables sized exactly for your specific boat length.
• Meet strict lake emission standards via certified low-emission combustion processes.

Ideal Application and Vessel Fitment

This specialized remote-steered jet outboard is built exclusively for flat-bottom aluminum river sleds, shallow-draft jon boats, and specialized skinny-water hunting skiffs equipped with forward consoles. Because the direct-drive jet pump sits flush with the hull bottom, it completely eliminates the draft penalties of a standard propeller, allowing operators to run on plane across mere inches of water. It thrives in treacherous, rock-strewn rivers where traditional gearcases would instantly shatter, delivering unmatched backcountry access for extreme anglers requiring a power tilt jet outboard to maximize performance.

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 greasing jet pump bearings and changing powerhead 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.
