2018 Tohatsu 15 Hp MFS15EL Outboard Motor

Skip the battery entirely with the Tohatsu MFS15EL, a 20-inch-shaft, EFI-equipped 15 HP four-stroke that starts purely by pull cord, with no alternator fitted. No charging system Because this version carries no alternator, it will not charge a battery or run electronics off the motor; it is built purely to turn the propeller by hand-pull starting with the benefit of fuel injection rather than a carburetor. Anyone who wants electric start on this same engine should look at the EEFL version instead, which adds a starter and alternator. Engine and fit Displacement is 333cc on a 2.15 gear ratio turning a three-blade aluminum propeller, saltwater rated. This 20-inch shaft pairs with taller transoms; a short-shaft build of the same manual-start EFI engine covers the lower-transom case separately. What ships with the motor Tohatsu pairs this EL with a separate 3-gallon tank and quick-connect fuel line, a matching three-blade propeller, a tool kit, and printed documentation, with the five-year warranty that covers the rest of the 15 HP family. Common questions Does this version have electric start? No, it starts manually by pull cord and has no alternator. Can a battery be charged from this motor? No, there is no onboard alternator on this version at all, so any onboard electronics need their own separate power source entirely.
