Tohatsu MFS40AWJETETL 40HP – Jet 20″ Shaft Tiller or Remote

Tohatsu MFS40AWJETETL 40HP Jet Drive (Beluga White)

The Tohatsu MFS40AWJETETL is a 40HP Jet Drive outboard that combines Beluga White aesthetics with the heavy-duty performance of an 866cc architecture. Built on the high-displacement 3-cylinder powerhead typically reserved for 60HP models, this unit delivers water flow to the jet pump while weighing 245 lbs. This 20-inch transom model is the definitive choice for luxury river boats and tenders requiring advanced marine propulsion systems to navigate shallow, obstacle-laden waters without the risk of propeller damage or gearcase failure in unpredictable North American rivers.

Peak operational performance is achieved between 5000 and 6000 RPM, translating the 866cc energy into high-velocity water thrust through the intake grate. The direct 1.00:1 drive ratio helps support instant throttle response for rapid hull planing in thin water. This engine exemplifies Japanese engineering excellence, featuring NMEA 2000 connectivity and a corrosion-resistant Beluga White finish that protects internal components while maintaining a high-end visual presence in marine coastal and freshwater environments.

Technical Specifications of Tohatsu MFS40A White Jet

- The 866cc inline 3-cylinder SOHC powerhead provides displacement for superior torque and jet pump water-flow efficiency.
- Premium Beluga White finish offers an aesthetic that resists UV fading and salt corrosion in harsh maritime climates.
- Direct Jet Drive propulsion eliminates the propeller and lower unit, allowing for safe navigation in shallow estuaries and rocky riverbeds.
- Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) helps support reliable zero-choke starting and fuel economy in all maritime weather conditions.
- NMEA 2000 certification allows for digital integration with on-board displays for real-time engine data and integrity monitoring.
- A robust 21 Amp alternator delivers essential charging power to support modern navigation displays and safety electronics during transit.

High-Displacement Jet Authority

The FourStroke EFI Jet technology leverages its 866cc architecture to produce high-pressure water thrust. This sophisticated design helps support the engine works efficiently at cruising speeds, providing the mechanical strength required for pushing heavy aluminum river boats through unpredictable rapids and tidal mudflats while maintaining professional marine outboard power standards for shallow-water captains.

Precision Fuel Induction

The Electronic Fuel Injection system monitors atmospheric variables to provide the appropriate combustion ratio for maximum energy release. This technology is designed to support instant starting and prevents engine bogging, completely eliminating carburetor-related maintenance while providing rapid acceleration and clean combustion for long-range trips in performance-driven environments across North America.

Tohatsu 5-Year Warranty

Every Tohatsu MFS40A Jet is backed by a comprehensive 5-Year Limited Warranty for American boat owners. This high-pressure protection covers structural and mechanical defects, reflecting a deep commitment to long-term maritime reliability and high-performance engineering.

Maintenance & Longevity

Maintaining the jet intake grate and impeller clearance is vital for preserving performance. Freshwater flushing after every excursion prevents internal salt deposits and maintains cooling health.Maintenance note: Follow the manufacturer’s service procedures and lubrication specifications for the engine and gearcase.
