Description
The Tohatsu MFS40AETL is a 40hp four-stroke outboard with tiller or remote steering (rigging sold separately), electric start, power trim and tilt, and a 20" long shaft, weighing 211 lbs. A good match for aluminum fishing boats, small pontoons, RIBs and small center consoles. As an authorized Tohatsu dealer, Boat Specialists sells it new with the full Tohatsu 5-year warranty, and our factory-qualified technicians test-run every new motor before delivery.
Tohatsu's 4hp delivers reliable power for small boats with clean, low emissions. It has redesigned top and bottom cowls and ergonomic front and back carrying handles, and it can be stored in three positions without spilling oil (see the owner's manual for storage guidelines).

A good match for aluminum fishing boats, small pontoons, RIBs and small center consoles. Always check your boat's capacity plate for its maximum horsepower and weight.
