Tohatsu MFS9.8BS 9.8HP 4-Stroke 15″ Shaft Outboard Motor

Tohatsu 9.8HP MFS9.8BS 4-Stroke Short Power

Providing an industry-leading weight-to-power ratio, the Tohatsu 9.8HP MFS9.8BS leverages a compact 209cc twin-cylinder architecture to deliver a high-torque solution for US boaters requiring a prop-rated propulsion unit with superior thermal stability. This 9.8HP four-stroke technology utilizes a streamlined SOHC design to maximize mechanical efficiency and hole-shot density for small aluminum skiffs and inflatable tenders. The 15-inch short shaft design provides an optimized center of gravity, while the manual recoil start and ergonomic tiller ensure immediate, one-pull ignition across diverse inland and coastal environments.

Operational longevity of the MFS9.8BS 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 sophisticated digital CD ignition system paired with an optional charging alternator, 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 legendary portability, this fuel-efficient outboard provides superior ownership value for boaters seeking reliable, low-emission power in a compact package.
