• Boat test report by boatbub.com:

The Tohatsu MFS 40 HP outboard motor boasts several key features. These include the aerodynamic cowling design, reliability, portability, low fuel consumption, torque comparable to a two-stroke, and easy maintenance. All of these factors make it the ideal motor for your boat.

This engine has proven reliable after a Russian test, which sailed 5,000 km on a river without any complications. In Italy, some engines have been in use for 260 to 1,000 hours in a single season and are still quite capable of handling multiple seasons.

It saves you more fuel than you ever imagined. It can idle for over 20 minutes, longer than a direct competitor with the same amount of fuel, which is handy for fishermen. A 25-liter fuel fill gives you up to 8 kilometers more range compared to other brands.

The MFS40A is easy to maintain and is made possible by the standardization of components, including the intake and fuel parts, ISC high pressure supply valve, engine anode and many other elements.

This translates into quick disassembly and fast service. Other features of this engine worth mentioning are the variable idle speed control, the integrated freshwater flushing system, the powerful alternator, the low-pressure warning system, the integrated diagnostic system, and the anti-spray shield.

Advantages

• Design of the hood,
• Reliability,
• Portable
• Low fuel consumption,
• The torque comparable to a two-stroke engine,
• Easy maintenance

Disadvantages

• May have issues with center consoles

Sailing tests

• A fast motor suitable for water sports; suitable for water skiing, wakeboarding, or wakefoiling (for boats with a speed of 20 kilometers per hour for beginners up to 35 kilometers per hour for advanced users).
• With the Corsiva 590 tender with a boat weight of 600 kilograms, you can sail with a 40 hp outboard motor at a maximum speed of 47 kilometers per hour (with fast propeller).
• With the Ranieri Voyager with a boat weight of 380 kilograms, you can sail with a 40 hp outboard motor up to a maximum speed of 43 kilometers per hour with 2 people.
• With the Lago Amore 540 sloop with a boat weight of 425 kilograms, you can sail with a 40 hp outboard motor up to a maximum speed of 43 kilometers per hour with 2 people.
• With the Lago Amore 595 tender with a boat weight of 500 kilograms, you can sail with a 40 hp outboard motor at a maximum speed of 40 kilometers per hour.
• With the Topcraft 605 tender with a boat weight of 680 kilograms, you can sail with a 40 hp outboard motor up to a maximum speed of 40 kilometers per hour.
• The Savor 520 Open, weighing in at 480 kilograms, boasts a 40-hp outboard motor and a top speed of 47 kilometers per hour. With four people, it can reach 40 kilometers per hour.
• With the Lago Amore 606 tender sloop with a boat weight of 700 kilograms, you can sail with a 40 hp outboard motor at a top speed of over 35 kilometers per hour.
• 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 400 to 800 kilograms.
  For displacement boats, 1 hp per 150 to 200 kilograms is sufficient, then the engine is adequate for 6 to 8 tons total weight.

• 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.
