Tohatsu 20HP MFS20EEPTS Outboard Motor

The Tohatsu MFS20EEPTS pairs console steering with a 15-inch shaft, the short-shaft entry among the console-steered versions of this 20 hp engine, weighing 114 lbs, with a key starter and a rope held in reserve. A shorter shaft for a lower transom This shaft is shorter than the other console-steered options Tohatsu builds in the same horsepower range, intended for a transom that sits lower to the water. Measure before ordering so the propeller sits at the right depth once mounted on the boat. Getting it rigged and running Because steering and shift route to a control head, check that the cabling and mounting on your boat already suit a console setup before this arrives. The engine is a two-cylinder, 333cc EFI block, with the throttle climbing toward 6,100 rpm at the top end; either the key or the rope will bring it to life. Tohatsu backs the motor for 5 years. Q: Is this the same engine as the longer-shaft console model, just shorter? Shaft length is the main difference among the console-steered variants in this range. Q: Does starting it by hand need a charged battery? No, the rope works as an independent backup regardless. Q: What's the displacement on this engine? 333cc from the two-cylinder EFI block that powers the whole 20 hp line. Q: Is the weight different from the 20-inch console-steered version? Yes, at 114 lbs this short-shaft build runs lighter than its longer-shaft sibling.
