2018 Tohatsu 6 Hp MFS6CS Outboard Motor

Tohatsu's biggest single-cylinder outboard is this new 2018 MFS6CS: 6 hp on a 15-inch short shaft, tiller steering, manual start, built around a 123cc four-stroke block. A 3.1-gallon external fuel tank with a quick-connect line is included. Where a 6-hp single-cylinder fits Stepping up to 6 hp while staying single-cylinder keeps weight down, which is why Tohatsu positions this as the top option for buyers after lightweight portable power rather than a heavier multi-cylinder motor. It works as main power for smaller craft or as auxiliary and trolling power behind sailboats and larger fishing boats. What is built in Zinc-coated internal passages and marine-grade construction guard this engine against saltwater corrosion, and it carries a saltwater rating to match. A sealed digital ignition module, a warning light for low oil pressure, and a built-in rpm cutout round out the electronics. An integrated carrying handle makes it easy to move by hand, the gear shift selector is forward-mounted, and the throttle is twist-grip with tension control. Displacement: 123cc (7.5 cubic inches) Full throttle: 5,000-6,000 rpm Propeller: 7.7-inch dia. x 8.0-inch pitch, 3-blade aluminum What's in the box? The fuel tank, its quick-connect line, the propeller above, and the printed manual with tool kit. Shaft length? 15 inches.
