Tohatsu MFS50A 4-stroke outboard engine
Tohatsu's 4-stroke models are equipped with modern technology. These Tohatsu outboard engines are reliable and feature robust technology that is easy to use. The MFS 50 is the first model in the new Tohatsu lightweight Sporty ECO line. It is one of the lightest 4-stroke outboard engines in this class.
This outboard engine is suitable for water sports; for water skiing, wakeboarding, or wakefoiling (for boats with a speed from 20 kilometres per hour for beginners to 35 kilometres per hour and up for advanced users).
As a rule of thumb, for fast-planing boats, you need 1 hp for every 10 to 20 kilograms of total weight. Based on this, this outboard engine is suitable for a total weight of 500 to 1000 kilograms.
For displacement boats, 1 hp per 150 to 200 kilograms is sufficient; in that case, the engine is adequate for 7.5 to 10 tonnes of total weight.
Sea trials and reviews
- Test 1 – Boten.nl, Oud Huijzer 616: the test boat was equipped with a 50 hp Tohatsu. The engine was described as remarkably smooth and quiet. On nearly flat and windless water, the boat easily planed. At half throttle, a speed of approx. 20 km/h was achieved; at full throttle, the top speed was around 42 km/h.
- Test 2 – Boten.nl, Topcraft 605: the 50 hp Tohatsu was described as suitable motorisation for water sports enthusiasts who want to go faster. The engine weighs less than 100 kg, and the Topcraft 605 reached a top speed of approx. 50 km/h in this test.
- Test 3 – Tohatsu Australia, Clark Abalone 435: test weight approx. 750 kg. At 3,500 rpm, approx. 27 km/h was measured with a consumption of 5 l/h. At 6,300 rpm, approx. 55 km/h was measured with a consumption of 16 l/h.
- Test 4 – Topcraft 565: with a boat weight of approx. 600 kg, a top speed of about 45 km/h was measured with 50 hp.
- Lago Amore 600: with a boat weight of approx. 750 kg, about 45 km/h was achieved.
- Oud Huijzer 616: with a boat weight of approx. 600 kg, over 35 km/h was achieved.
- Test 5 – Lago Amore 633: with a boat weight of approx. 800 kg, about 40 km/h was achieved.
- Test 6 – Van Zutphen 633: with a boat weight of approx. 700 kg, about 40 km/h was achieved.
- Test 7 – Van Vossen 777: with a boat weight of approx. 1,000 kg, about 34 km/h was achieved.
- Test 8 – Topcraft 565: with a boat weight of approx. 550 kg, over 50 km/h was achieved.
- Test 9 – Amigo 475 Sport: with a boat weight of approx. 410 kg, about 51 km/h was achieved.
- Test 10 – Tridente 19S: with a boat weight of approx. 580 kg, about 48 km/h was achieved.
The mentioned speeds are practical values. The final performance depends on factors including loading, propeller choice, engine mounting, weather conditions, and the waterway.
