Tohatsu 15 HP outboard motor MFS15E

Tohatsu MFS15E outboard motor (5 year warranty).

The Tohatsu MFS 15E is a lightweight outboard motor that delivers superior performance with excellent fuel economy. According to boat-fuel-economy.com, it consumes 5 liters per hour at full throttle at 5,500 rpm. According to Boot TV, it consumes 5.8 liters per hour at full throttle. Its consumption at half throttle is estimated at 2 to 3 liters per hour, according to boat-fuel-economy.com.

A rule of thumb is that for fast boats, you need 1 hp for a total weight of 10 to 20 kilograms. Based on this, this outboard motor is suitable for a total weight of 150 to 300 kilograms.
For displacement boats, 1 hp per 150 to 200 kilograms is sufficient; then the engine is adequate for a total weight of 2 to 3 tons.

TIP: Go for the Tohatsu 20 HP outboard motor MFS20E for a small additional charge and 33% more power.

A handy 15 hp power source for versatile boating pleasure.

Producing lightweight outboard motors with superior performance will always be Tohatsu's number one goal. The 15 hp 4-stroke is no exception. It offers excellent fuel economy while boasting an excellent power-to-weight ratio and delivering top performance.

The lightest EFI model in its class. It weighs almost the same as a 2-stroke.

The updated design is bold and robust. With these outboard motors, Tohatsu strengthens its leading position in the market for outboard motors up to 50 hp in the 4-stroke segment.

In a comparative test review by the German Boote TV, Tohatsu took third place and emerged as the most affordable. With the 15 hp Tohatsu, the inflatable boat achieved a top speed of 37 kilometers per hour. The Tohatsu is the lightest engine and has the greatest pulling power.

PERFORMANCES

TIP: Go for the Tohatsu 20 HP outboard motor MFS20E for a small additional charge for more power.

The boat's transom height determines the outboard motor's shaft length. Measure from the mounting point of the motor to the bottom. Is the transom height around 43 centimeters? Then you'll need a short shaft. For a length of 51 centimeters, a long shaft is best. You'll need an extra long shaft for a length of 63 centimeters.
