2025 Tohatsu MFS9.8C EF S

PORTABLE

The new generation of MFS8C/9.8C(W) model lineup is engineered to be EFI (Electronic Fuel Injection) for the first time in 200cc class

The battery-less EFI (Electronic Fuel Injection) model is the lightest 2-cylinder 8/9.8 hp on the market, with upgraded features from its predecessor.

Features may include:

The very first Battery-less EFI System in 8/9.8hp.
  • The EFI system will provide consistent starting, stability at idle and fuel efficiency. Additionally, the EFI system will eliminate the hassles experienced with carbureted models, such as clogging and overhaul of carburetor because of ethanol fuel related issues.
Water Cooled Fuel Pump
  • Water cooled fuel pump is now a standard feature on MFS8C/9.8C(W) to offer consistent starting, stable idling and optimal running.
Standard Tiller Handle
  • Ergonomically designed tiller handle includes forward-neutral-reverse front shift lever, stop switch, throttle friction adjustment and power tilt switch (for PT-models) for easier access and maneuverability.
Newly Designed Carrying Handle for Tiller Model
  • In addition to an overall cleaner look by routing shift & throttle cables and wirings through the handle, the new carrying handle features a 40% increase in surface area and smooth shape to reduce the pressure when carrying.
Location of Fuel Connectors
  • Tiller models: Located on starboard side of lower cowling. Remote models: Centered on the front of the lower cowling.

9.8 hp 4-Stroke Benefits

  • Lightest 2-Cylinder EFI available on the market
  • Reduced vibration for smooth and stable running at all speeds
  • Greatly reduced induction noise for a quieter ride
  • Trim tab reduces steering effort, functioning also as the sacrificial anode that protects the engine from electrolysis

Easy Operation and Handling

  • Digital CD ignition for easier engine starting, quicker throttle response and smoother trolling
  • Recoil starter with larger reel making manual starting fast and easy
  • Shallow water drive*
  • 6 trim positions*

Fundamentals for User Convenience and Reliability

  • Through-the-prop exhaust for a quieter ride
  • Thermostatically controlled cooling system for consistent engine temperature
  • Stainless steel water pump housing liner for outstanding durability
  • High grade marine aluminum alloy that provides the ultimate protection against corrosion

Protection

  • Low oil pressure indicator
  • Safety lanyard (an essential protection feature standard on all Tohatsu outboards)
  • Start-in-gear protection for safer engine starting
  • Over-rev. limiter
