MFS40AJETETL
Marine Engineer Insight: The Tohatsu MFS40AJETETL (MPN MFS40AJETETL) is the ultimate solution for shallow-water navigation. By replacing the traditional propeller with a high-performance jet pump, this 40hp powerhead allows you to traverse rocky rivers and thin-water flats that would destroy a standard lower unit. Built on Tohatsu’s award-winning 3-cylinder EFI platform, this jet model delivers smooth, reliable, and fuel-efficient performance where no other outboard can go.
Go Where Others Fear to Tread
The Tohatsu MFS40AJETETL (MPN: MFS40AJETETL) is specifically engineered for river runners and flats fishermen. Without a propeller extending below the hull, this jet drive system drastically reduces the draft of your vessel. It utilizes a SOHC 3-cylinder engine with Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) to provide instant throttle response and exceptional cold-weather starting—crucial for early morning fishing expeditions.
This model features Power Tilt, making it easy to raise the engine when trailering or clearing debris from the intake. The MFS40AJETETL also includes a high-output 21-amp alternator, ensuring your fish finders and electronics have a steady supply of power. With Tohatsu’s renowned durability and a lightweight design that doesn't sacrifice structural integrity, this jet outboard is the professional choice for extreme shallow-water operation.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does jet horsepower compare to prop horsepower?
Jet outboards experience a power loss of approximately 30% at the pump. While this is a 40hp powerhead, the actual propulsive force is equivalent to roughly 28hp-30hp at the jet.
2. Is this motor compatible with my current gauges?
The MFS40AJETETL is compatible with Tohatsu's TOCS (Onboard Communication System) and can connect to NMEA 2000 displays via an optional interface cable.
