Tohatsu MFS9.8BEFS 9.8HP EFI Electric 15″ Outboard Motor
Description
Tohatsu 9.8HP MFS9.8BEFS EFI Electric Short Power
Technology focused and utilizing a 209cc twin-cylinder engine family, the Tohatsu 9.8HP MFS9.8BEFS serves as a high-torque solution for US boaters requiring a prop-rated propulsion unit with superior thermal stability. This 9.8HP four-stroke technology utilizes battery-less Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) to maximize hole-shot performance, effectively converting internal combustion into efficient thrust for lightweight skiffs and RIBs. The 15-inch short shaft design provides an optimized center of gravity, while the electric start system ensures immediate, push-button ignition across diverse inland and coastal environments.
Operational longevity of the MFS9.8BEFS model is secured through a specialized pressurized lubrication system featuring an integrated fuel-water separator to maintain internal cleanliness. To facilitate easy after-storage starts, the unit employs a vapor-free fuel induction system with a 12A 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 tiller with adjustable steering friction, this fuel-efficient outboard provides superior ownership value for boaters seeking a high-tech, low-emission engine.
