Preventing catastrophic ground strikes, the Tohatsu MFS20EEFTS integrates a rapid power tilt mechanism for skinny water running. The 333cc battery-less EFI block atomizes fuel perfectly, pushing loaded inflatable tenders across choppy marina basins safely. A quick tape measure check validates this 15 inch short shaft portable outboard fits standard hulls perfectly without dragging the lower unit excessively.

Protect your propeller from devastating impacts by leveraging the factory power tilt to adjust your running draft instantly. You elevate the 50 kg gearcase directly from the tiller grip to navigate skinny tidal flats seamlessly. Engineers build the assembly with low-copper marine aluminum. This physical barrier stops galvanic decay when repowering small aluminum boats in high-salinity brackish water.

Key Features of Tohatsu MFS20EEFTS

- Hydraulic Power Tilt: Lifts the gearcase completely clear of mud flats at the push of a button, preventing catastrophic propeller strikes in shallows.
- 15-Inch Standard Shaft: Matches low dinghy transoms perfectly, preventing lower unit drag and maximizing fuel efficiency on light inflatable hulls.
- Turn-Key Electric Start: Engages the flywheel instantly via 12-volt battery power, eliminating shoulder strain completely during freezing early morning launches.
- Battery-Less EFI Backup: Atomizes fuel perfectly using internal magnetic power, guaranteeing reliable cold-weather pull starts if your primary starting battery fails.
- Multi-Function Tiller Handle: Concentrates shift and throttle inputs squarely in your grip, sharpening handling response in narrow twisting creeks.
- 12-Amp Charging Alternator: Outputs constant electrical current while running, keeping small deep cycle batteries topped off for navigation lights.
- 333cc Inline-Two Block: Produces massive low-end torque internally, lifting heavily loaded 12-foot rigid dinghies onto plane much faster.
- Low-Copper Marine Alloy: Blocks severe galvanic decay physically, protecting the powerhead block across decades of daily saltwater exposure.
- 2.15:1 Gearcase Ratio: Multiplies engine torque effectively, translating the 333cc displacement into relentless pushing force for loaded hunting skiffs.
- Clean Four-Stroke Combustion: Burns unleaded fuel highly efficiently without messy two-stroke oil mixing, keeping your tender completely free of oil slicks.

Why Choose Tohatsu MFS20EEFTS

You buy this motor to keep rigging dead simple on a standard 15-inch transom boat requiring power tilt functionality. It offers zero remote steering capability. Finding a reliable power tilt short shaft outboard solves shallow draft requirements perfectly.

- Confirm your transom measures exactly 15 inches vertically down the centerline.
- Verify the tiller handle sweep path clears your rear bench seating completely.
- Adhere to strict local waterway emissions rules utilizing clean-burning four-stroke technology.

Ideal Application and Vessel Fitment

This ultra-portable 15-inch outboard thrives on small inflatable tenders, flat-bottom jon boats, and rigid fiberglass dinghies requiring minimalist power paired with hydraulic lifting capabilities. Because it features push-button electric starting and power tilt directly on the tiller, operators gain absolute control for remote area fishing. The direct tiller interface provides complete directional thrust, making this lightweight 20hp electric start outboard an incredibly nimble propulsion choice for navigating crowded anchorages.

Warranty, Support and Maintenance

Authorized recreational operation receives a 5-Year Limited Warranty alongside exceptional factory support. Registered commercial applications fall under a strict 1-Year Limited Warranty with zero corrosion coverage applied to the block. Scheduled maintenance requires replacing gearcase lubricants and changing oil filters at manual-specified intervals. Always save all physical service records. Your engine serial number acts as the only way to source exact genuine replacement parts. Mulmotor can assist with product details and order-related questions before purchase.
