Tohatsu MFS30D 4-stroke outboard motor
A high-performance and user-friendly engine.
New features such as: variable idle speed, front-mounted shift lever and water flush system ensure a smooth and stable outboard motor that is also quick and easy to clean after use in salt water.
The newly optimized gear ratio (26:12 / 2.17) provides more power and torque and leads to the highest top speed among 25/30 hp 4-stroke engines. This performance also leads to fuel savings and a wider range of applications than other brands.
As a rule of thumb, for fast boats you need 1 hp for 10 to 20 kilograms of total weight. Based on this, this outboard motor is then suitable for 300 to 600 kilograms of total weight.
For displacement boats, 1 hp per 150 to 200 kilograms is sufficient; the engine is then adequate for 4.5 to 6 tons of total weight.
Fast Tohastsu MFS30D engine suitable for water sports and suitable for water skiing or wakeboarding (for boats with a speed from 20 kilometers per hour for beginners up to 35 kilometers per hour for advanced users).

Review test report 1 : The new Tohatsu MFS30D is the lightest 3-cylinder engine in its class. This one certainly impressed with power, weight and economy. The attached test information demonstrated what customers can expect from this Next Generation engine. Light weight, performance and fuel economy. With a 420 boat a top speed of 50 kilometers was achieved.

Test report 2 (see video below): with a 495 sloop With the Tohatsu 30 hp outboard motor a maximum speed of 40 kilometers per hour is achieved.

Test report 3 review by boote-magazin.de February 2022: The comparison test covers the new Tohatsu MFS30D and the older MFS 30C.
The biggest external difference between the two engines is in the shape of the bonnet: the new model has been given the so-called softer design language by Tohatsu. Under the bonnet is the latest technology that makes the engine suitable for the upcoming emission standards and thus future-proof. Another important point is that the new Tohatsu mfs30d engine can work smoothly and without loss of performance with the now known ethanol additives.
The main differences in the technical data are the smaller cylinder capacity of the new engine and especially the almost 20 percent lower weight. At 57 kilograms, the new engine is according to the manufacturer the lightest three-cylinder in its class. This is essentially achieved with a 40 percent lighter crankshaft and a plastic intake manifold that weighs only about half as much as the head (made of cast aluminum) of the older model. Of course, lighter weight has advantages when it comes to transportation and handling - such as dragging the engine across the beach and then hooking it to a dinghy.
As a "test bench" for our test, Robert Marx had obtained two identical Sandstrom Classic 460s from the boat dealer Kieler Bootsschau. Both boats had exactly the same equipment and therefore the same weight. We sailed the boats with two people, the test area was the Elbe, which of course made it necessary to measure the speed in both directions. Both models reach approximately the same speeds, and that should of course be the case, since the gear ratio and propeller are identical. At top speed, we achieved a little more speed with the new model. A similar picture emerges with the noise levels, and here the differences are only very small. The consumption is particularly interesting for us water sports enthusiasts: except for 1,000 rpm, the differences between the old and new engine remained small. At the upper speeds from 5,000 rpm, a slightly lower consumption was calculated. At speeds between 2,000 rpm and 4,500 rpm, the older engine was even more economical. The economical speed range of our test duo is between 5,000 and 5,500 rpm. The acceleration is still missing: Here we measured with the flow and without using the power trim (With power trim you can electronically optimize the trim angle for improved acceleration, higher speed and stable position. Also useful for trailering.) Accelerated to 35 kilometers per hour . Most of you probably already guessed that there was no real winner here either.
Conclusion The new 30 hp outboard motor impresses with its future-oriented technology and its low weight, which makes it super easy to drive even on light boats. The weight saving is also an advantage when it comes to handling the engine.
- With the Pure 585 from Pure Boating with a displacement of 530 kilograms including outboard motor you sail with a 30 hp outboard motor with a maximum speed of 45 kilometers per hour. The design of the Pure 585 offers the possibility to sail quickly and quietly with relatively little power. It is economical in consumption and has lower maintenance costs. One of the striking features of this innovative hull shape is the efficiency in the speed range of 12 to 20 kilometers per hour, ideal for moments when you do not want to sail too fast, but still want to move forward. Many boats create a large stern wave at this speed, which leads to higher consumption and more noise. The 585 makes the transition from displacement to planing almost unnoticed. At a speed of 18 kilometers per hour, the engine consumes only 4 liters per hour with 2-3 people on board, which amounts to 0.4 L/nm—unique for a boat of almost 6 meters. The boat can easily go into planing even with six people on board.

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