MFS8CEFL
Marine Engineer Insight: The Tohatsu MFS8CEFL (MPN MFS8CEFL) is widely regarded as the most reliable twin-cylinder portable in its class. This 20" Long Shaft model features Electric Start, making it an ideal choice for larger tenders, aluminum fishing boats, and as a high-torque kicker for sailboats. By utilizing a 2-cylinder SOHC architecture, the MFS8C provides a much smoother, vibration-free experience compared to single-cylinder competitors while maintaining a remarkably low weight for easy transport.
Smooth Twin-Cylinder Power & Effortless Starting
The Tohatsu MFS8CEFL (MPN: MFS8CEFL) is engineered for boaters who demand more than just basic propulsion. The dual-cylinder design ensures that power is delivered evenly across the RPM range, significantly reducing operator fatigue and noise. This long-shaft version is perfect for boats with 20-inch transoms, providing the necessary depth for the propeller to maintain consistent grip in varied water conditions.
Equipped with **Electric Start** as standard, this model eliminates the physical effort of manual pulling—though a manual recoil backup is integrated for total peace of mind. The MFS8CEFL also features a high-output 12V 80W (6.7A) charging system, ensuring your marine electronics and starting battery remain topped off during your voyage. With Tohatsu’s specialized cross-flow induction, you get smooth idling and crisp throttle response every time.
