MFS30 - Compact Power at its Best

The MFS30D is designed for a wide variety of boat applications, such as Inflatable, RIB, Aluminum Fishing, FRP and/or Pontoon. Available in a wide variety of options, MFS30D will meet whatever configuration you need for your boat.
We have achieved the lightest weight in its class and improved reliability, without sacrificing performance. Tohatsu strives to deliver a smarter and more exciting boating experience.

When you need compact power, the Tohatsu MFS30 30hp 4-stroke engine has exactly what you need.

Tohatsu 30hp 4-Stroke Benefits

High Performance & Easy Operation

  • Digital Electronic Control Unit (ECU) for immediate engine starting in all conditions, quicker throttle response and smoother trolling
  • Battery-less EFI with recoil starter on all models
  • Outboard is easier to lift and tilt into shallow drive because we’ve moved heavy components forward
  • Large alternator and rectifier for superior battery charging*
  • Multi-Function Tiller Handle: Stop Switch, Front Shift, Friction Adjusting Screw and Power Tilt Switch (PTS: on power tilt models only) integrated into the tiller handle for convenience
  • Remote control model available
  • Shallow water drive*
  • 90 degree turning radius
  • Adjustable steering friction for reducing steering effort*

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
  • Zinc coating on internal water passages for superior corrosion resistance
  • 3.1 Gallon (12 liter) fuel tank includes fuel fittings and fuel line with fuel gauge on the cap
  • Aluminum propeller

Safety & Protection

  • Low oil pressure warning (visual and audible**)

Multiple Steering Options

Unique to the MFS25/30D, we have redesigned the tiller handle to include a stop switch, a four-step trolling speed control system from 750 RPM to 1050 RPM, forward – neutral – reverse shifter, throttle friction adjustment, and electric start button on certain models. Tohatsu’s multi-function tiller handle is also available for multiple model options. Both standard and multi-function tiller handles have trolling speed control feature. Remote control models are also available.

17.5 amp high-output charging system

The electric start models include the best in class 17.5 amp high-output charging system. This is achieved by applying stronger magnets on the magneto and a water-cooled rectifier. These improvements produce the highest alternator output without increasing weight.

Optimum engine mount locations

We have repositioned the engine mount locations and optimized the distance between the upper and lower engine mounts by bringing the upper mount and lower mount forward from the center of driveshaft. Our revamped design reduces vibration and increases maneuverability for a better boating experience.

Minimal water drag gear case

Tohatsu’s newly designed gear case has been given a more torpedo-like shape for optimal hydrodynamic flow, reducing water drag and improving performance – from planing to top end speed. A gear ratio of 2.17:1 optimizes low end torque and the ability to turn a wider variety of propellers for many boating applications.

Newly designed flywheel

The newly designed flywheel creates airflow inside the cowling. This improves the internal air circulation and reduces the temperature of electrical components to maximize reliability.

Brand new intake manifold

The intake manifold has been completely redesigned with resin to reduce weight by 48%.

Additional auxiliary water intake port

The MFS25/30D(W) gear case includes an additional auxiliary water intake port, providing consistent cooling water circulation. This allows the cooling water come up to cool the engine even if the primary water inlet were covered by marine debris.
