MFS60AETL
Marine Engineer Insight: The Tohatsu MFS60AETL (MPN MFS60AETL) holds the title for the lightest 60hp outboard in its class. By utilizing a SOHC 3-cylinder architecture with a high-performance 4-valve per cylinder design, this 20" long shaft motor provides incredible torque and acceleration. It is the premier choice for pontoon boats, fishing skiffs, and aluminum hulls where weight-to-power ratio is critical for maintaining buoyancy and achieving peak top-end speeds.
The Lightweight Champion of the 60HP Category
The Tohatsu MFS60AETL (MPN: MFS60AETL) is engineered to outperform the competition through efficiency. Its multi-chamber intake manifold provides a smooth delivery of air for high torque at low RPM, while the integrated **Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI)** ensures precision fuel management. This translates to industry-leading fuel economy and turn-key reliability in any weather condition. This model's streamlined gear case is designed specifically to reduce drag, resulting in a 5% increase in top speed compared to standard 60hp units.
Equipped with standard Power Tilt and Trim, the MFS60AETL allows you to fine-tune your vessel's attitude for better fuel efficiency and a smoother ride. A high-output 21-amp alternator comes standard, providing massive charging power for GPS, sonar, and high-draw livewell pumps. With Tohatsu’s proven 4-stroke architecture and stainless steel water pump housing, this motor is built for long-term durability in the harshest salt and freshwater environments.
