Tohatsu MFS6DWDL 6HP Outboard – 20in Shaft

Description

Heavy coastal currents yield to the Tohatsu MFS6DWDL as its 123cc block forces steady low-end torque. This single-cylinder four-stroke engine pushes heavy auxiliary sailboats upstream against morning tides effortlessly. Verifying your exact auxiliary bracket height guarantees this 6hp long shaft outboard motor mounts securely without causing dangerous water pump starvation in rough seas.

Eliminate dangerous fuel spills on deck by utilizing the versatile dual-fuel tank system as a direct mechanical solution. You operate from the integrated 1.15L tank for short harbor maneuvers or connect an external tank for extended cruising. Tohatsu engineers apply the Beluga White finish over specialized marine aluminum. This structural barrier stops galvanic decay when repowering high transom sailboats in high-salinity coastal environments.

Key Features of Tohatsu MFS6DWDL

• Carbureted Fuel Induction: Meters gas reliably into the cylinder, providing steady low-RPM operation when navigating no-wake harbor zones.
• 20-Inch Long Shaft: Places the anti-ventilation plate deeply beneath tall auxiliary transoms, preventing water pump starvation in heavy chop.
• Six-Position Manual Tilt: Adjusts the running angle physically, allowing the operator to lift the gearcase over shallow coastal reefs safely.
• 360-Degree Tiller Steering: Concentrates shift and throttle inputs directly into your operating hand for immediate reverse thrust without a gearbox.
• Dual Fuel Capability: Integrates a 1.15L internal tank while featuring a standard external hookup to maximize your coastal cruising range.
• Beluga White Finish: Reflects intense ultraviolet sunlight physically, preventing cosmetic fading and matching premium fiberglass hull finishes perfectly.
• Through-Prop Exhaust: Channels toxic combustion gases directly underwater, keeping the aft operator station completely free of choking smoke.
• Accessible Oil Drain: Simplifies routine crankcase lubrication changes, saving significant time during seasonal maintenance prep without specialized tools.
• 2.15:1 Gear Ratio: Multiplies engine torque effectively, translating the 123cc displacement into relentless pushing force for loaded displacement hulls.
• Clean Four-Stroke Combustion: Burns unleaded fuel highly efficiently without messy two-stroke oil mixing, keeping pristine anchorages completely free of surface oil slicks.

Why Choose Tohatsu MFS6DWDL

This specific 20-inch block is built strictly to serve as auxiliary sailboat power or propel high-transom displacement hulls. Mounting it on a standard 15-inch dinghy will cause massive lower unit drag. Installing a reliable manual start long shaft outboard ensures safe harbor returns.

• Verify your sailboat motor bracket requires exactly a 20-inch vertical shaft drop.
• Ensure the operator possesses the physical strength to lift 26.5 kilograms safely.
• Avoid toxic exhaust fumes using advanced four-stroke internal lubrication.

Ideal Application and Vessel Fitment

This 20-inch long-shaft configuration is engineered specifically as a primary kicker for small sailboats and auxiliary power for high-transom displacement hulls. The extended midsection ensures the propeller remains deeply submerged when the vessel pitches in steep ocean swells. By utilizing a physical tiller handle and dual fuel tank options, captains gain total directional control when docking, making this long shaft portable outboard motor an essential tool for maneuvering heavy sailboats 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 checking spark plugs 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.
