Tohatsu 40 HP Outboard Motor MFS40A ETL

Tohatsu MFS40A ETL 4-stroke outboard motor

Tohatsu outboard motor 40 hp long shaft electric start, remote control and power trim long shaft

Tohatsu's 4-stroke models... feature the latest technology! These Tohatsu outboards are reliable and boast robust, easy-to-use technology. The MFS 40 is the first model in the new Tohatsu lightweight Sporty ECO line. The MFS 40 and MFS 50 are the lightest 4-stroke outboard motors in this class. Consider whether the Tohatsu 60 HP outboard motor MFS60A ETL has an even better power-to-price ratio or the Tohatsu 50 HP outboard motor MFS50A ETL

given the small price difference.

• Test report by boatbub.com:

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

This engine has proven reliable after a Russian test, which involved sailing 5000 km on a river without any complications. In Italy, some engines have been in use for 260 to 1000 hours in a season and are still quite ready for multiple seasons.

It saves you more fuel than you ever thought possible. It can idle for more than 20 minutes, more than a direct competitor with the same amount of fuel, which is useful for fishermen. If you refuel it with 25 liters of fuel, you can travel up to 8 kilometers further compared to other brands.

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

This translates into quick disassembly and quick service. Other notable features of this engine include variable idle speed control, built-in freshwater flushing system, powerful alternator, low-pressure warning, integrated diagnostic system, and anti-spray plate.

Advantages

• Engine cowling design
• Reliability
• Portable
• Low fuel consumption
• Torque comparable to a two-stroke engine
• Easy maintenance

Disadvantages

• May have issues with center consoles

 

On-water tests

• Fast motor suitable for water sports; suitable for waterskiing, 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, a 40 hp outboard motor will achieve a maximum speed of 47 kilometers per hour (with a fast propeller).
• With the Ranieri Voyager with a boat weight of 380 kilograms, a 40 hp outboard motor will achieve a maximum speed of 43 kilometers per hour with 2 people.
• With the Lago Amore 540 sloop with a boat weight of 425 kilograms, a 40 hp outboard motor will achieve a maximum speed of 43 kilometers per hour with 2 people.
• With the Lago Amore 595 tender with a boat weight of 500 kilograms, a 40 hp outboard motor will achieve a maximum speed of 40 kilometers per hour.
• With the Topcraft 605 tender with a boat weight of 680 kilograms, a 40 hp outboard motor will achieve a maximum speed of 40 kilometers per hour.
• With the Savor 520 Open with a boat weight of 480 kilograms, a 40 hp outboard motor will achieve a maximum speed of 47 kilometers per hour. With 4 people, you will reach 40 kilometers per hour. 
• With the Lago Amore 606 tender sloop with a boat weight of 700 kilograms, a 40 hp outboard motor will achieve a maximum speed of over 35 kilometers per hour.
• As a rule of thumb, for fast boats, you need 1 hp per 10 to 20 kilograms of total weight. Based on this, this outboard motor is suitable for 400 to 800 kilograms of total weight.
  For displacement boats, 1 hp per 150 to 200 kilograms is sufficient, meaning the motor is adequate for 6 to 8 tons of total weight.

• Weight 97 kilograms
• Starting Electric
• Steering type Remote control or tiller handle

• To determine which shaft length your boat needs, you can calculate the transom height of the boat. Measure from the point where the engine hangs to the bottom. Is the transom height around 43 centimeters? Then you need a short shaft. For a length of 51 centimeters, it is best to go for a long shaft. An extra long shaft is needed for a length of 63 centimeters.

  For steering wheel operation, both single cable and hydraulic.
  With power trim and tilt, you can optimize the tilt angle of the motor at the touch of a button. The trim gauge quickly shows if the engine angle is correct. This allows for faster acceleration, smoother, quicker, more economical, more stable, and, above all, safer boating. Also useful for trailering.

• Did you know that Mercury even has Tohatsu manufacture its outboard motors up to 30 hp? The only difference is the cowling and the price.
  The Tohatsu BFT models from 150 hp upwards have been re-branded Hondas since 2014. So you get a reliable Honda engine at a Tohatsu price. 
  

 

• Tohatsu engines offer the highest quality at a lower price than other A-brands. Tohatsu is also the only brand that exclusively produces outboard motors, meaning it is truly specialized. 
  
  
• Tohatsu pays great attention to the appearance of its outboards, and this is reflected in this model. The design is tough and robust. Under the beautifully streamlined cowling, you will find the trusted Tohatsu technology, developed for years of boating pleasure with minimal maintenance.
  
  
• The Tohatsu engine is user-friendly in every respect. For example, the oil filter is placed so that you can easily replace it yourself. The lubrication of your outboard motor is optimal thanks to the generous oil reservoir. By applying the proven Tohatsu electronic injection system, your engine starts smoothly, and the throttle response is quick. The rpm can be regulated smoothly.
  
  
• Your newly purchased Tohatsu outboard motor comes with a full 5-year factory warranty.
  

 

• Tohatsu always performs well in comparative tests.
  • Read the test reports for the 15 and 30 and 60 hp engines, among others. Tohatsu is the price-performance winner according to Boote Testen.
  • ANWB 'Waterkampioen' also conducted an Outboard Motor Test. The Tohatsu 6 hp emerged as the winner , based on factors such as weight, noise, and ease of use. According to ANWB, it's best to buy a Tohatsu 6 HP outboard motor.
  • Boote-Magazin.de also tested the Tohatsu MFS115 A : impressive result due to the best torque-to-weight ratio and higher top speed. Due to its small displacement, the Tohatsu is also extremely economical. 
• Most models are available from stock!

That's why Tohatsu is the best outboard motor.
