The Tohatsu MFS40AJETETL represents the perfect combination of power and versatility in Tohatsu’s acclaimed jet drive series. This 40 horsepower four-stroke outboard features advanced EFI fuel injection technology, delivering smooth acceleration and exceptional fuel economy without sacrificing performance. The jet propulsion system eliminates the need for a propeller, making it ideal for shallow water operations, rocky areas, and locations where debris could damage traditional propeller-driven engines.
Built with Tohatsu’s legendary SOHC engine design featuring a unique 9-valve configuration with roller rocker arms, the MFS40AJETETL provides dependable power from its 52.8 cubic inch displacement across a 5,000-6,000 RPM operating range. The electric start system ensures reliable ignition in all conditions, while the integrated power trim and tilt allows precise boat positioning and improved performance optimization. The 20-inch shaft length accommodates most standard transom configurations, and the robust 12V, 300W, 25A alternator keeps your electrical systems charged during operation.
Advanced electronic fuel injection delivers superior throttle response and consistent performance across varying conditions, while the trochoid pump lubrication system ensures optimal engine protection. The MFS40AJETETL features California CARB three-star rating for ultra-low emissions, meeting stringent environmental standards without compromising power delivery. The adjustable trolling speed control offers precision maneuvering from 650-950 RPM in five-step increments, making it excellent for fishing applications or navigating tight waterways.
Tohatsu’s commitment to durability shines through in the MFS40AJETETL’s construction, featuring advanced corrosion protection and user-friendly maintenance points that reduce long-term ownership costs. The engine incorporates high solid paint coating specially formulated for marine environments, protecting against UV damage and salt water corrosion. Diagnostic capabilities and warning systems provide peace of mind during operation, while the thermostat-controlled cooling system maintains optimal operating temperatures.
Whether you’re exploring backcountry waters, fishing in shallow flats, traversing weed-choked channels, or need reliable propulsion in debris-filled areas, the Tohatsu MFS40AJETETL delivers the quiet operation, fuel efficiency, and rugged dependability that Tohatsu has been known for since 1956. The jet drive configuration provides instant reverse capability and eliminates the risk of propeller damage in shallow conditions. This innovative outboard combines proven Japanese engineering with practical functionality, ensuring years of trouble-free boating adventures while opening access to waters that traditional propeller-driven motors simply cannot reach safely.
