Tohatsu 30HP | MFS30DEFL

The MFS30DEFL delivers 30hp from a manual-start, tiller-only configuration on a 20-inch shaft, weighing 129 lbs with none of the electric starter or trim hardware carried by the remote-capable models in the lineup. Who it suits This fits owners who want a straightforward tiller engine at this horsepower without adding a battery, electric starter or trim pump to maintain, and who are comfortable pull-starting the engine every time it is used. Before you order A propeller is a separate purchase on this model, sourced by phone or in person rather than included in the box. Confirm the 20-inch shaft matches your transom height before buying, since that measurement cannot be changed after rigging. Running a tank of fresh fuel through a new engine before pushing it hard is good practice with any small four-stroke. What ships with it Bundled with this powerhead are the tiller arm, a fuel tank plumbed with its line, a small assortment of tools and spare parts, a tether kill switch, and the printed manual. EFI feeds this 30hp engine through a 5250-to-6250-rpm full throttle band, backed by Tohatsu's 5-year warranty. Common questions Can this be upgraded to electric start later? No, this configuration is manual pull-start only, by design rather than as a later option. Is a fuel tank included? Yes, the fuel tank and its line are part of the standard package.
