There are several features of the Tohatsu MFS 40 HP outboard motor. Some of these factors are the aerodynamic design of the 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 sailed 5000 km on a river without any complications. In Italy some engines have been in use for 260 to 1000 hours in one season and are still quite ready for several seasons.

It saves you more fuel than you ever thought. It can idle for over 20 minutes, more than a direct competitor with the same amount of fuel, which is useful for fishermen. If you fill it with 25 liters of fuel, you can sail up to 8 kilometers more 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 built-in fresh water flushing system, the powerful alternator, the low pressure warning, the integrated diagnostic system and the anti-spray plate.

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

• Fast motor suitable for water sports; suitable for water skiing, wakeboarding or wakefoiling (for boats with a speed from 20 kilometres per hour for beginners to 35 kilometres 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 up to 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 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 sail with a 40 hp outboard motor to a maximum speed of 40 kilometers per hour.
• With the Savor 520 Open with 480 kilograms boat weight you sail with a 40 hp outboard motor to a maximum speed of 47 kilometers per hour. With 4 people you 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 maximum speed of over 35 kilometers per hour.
• 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 400 to 800 kilograms of total weight.
  For displacement boats, 1 hp per 150 to 200 kilograms is sufficient, then the engine is adequate for 6 to 8 tons total weight.

  With steering wheel controls, both mono-cable and hydraulic.
  With power trim and tilt you can optimize the tilt angle of the engine with the push of a button. With the trim meter you can quickly read whether the angle of the engine is correct. Then you accelerate faster, sail smoother, faster, more economically, more stable and above all safer. Also handy for trailering.

    - Available in the colour Aqua Blue Article number 3KYQ63000-6 or Belgua White Article number 3KYW63000-6.
• 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.
