About the MFS60A
The Tohatsu MFS60 stands as a testament to advanced marine engineering, delivering robust 60 horsepower performance while maintaining the lightest weight in its class at just 209 pounds. This remarkable 3-cylinder, 4-stroke outboard motor represents the perfect balance between substantial power output and exceptional portability, making it an ideal choice for serious anglers and recreational boaters who demand professional-grade performance without the weight penalty of larger engines.
At the core of the MFS60’s impressive performance lies Tohatsu’s innovative Single Overhead Cam (SOHC) design featuring a unique 9-valve configuration with precision roller rocker arms. This advanced valvetrain design minimizes internal friction while maximizing airflow efficiency, resulting in quicker throttle response, enhanced durability against wear and tear, and superior fuel economy without sacrificing performance. The engine’s 52.8 cubic inch displacement, combined with a precisely engineered 2.76 x 2.95 inch bore and stroke configuration, delivers smooth and responsive power across its 5,000-6,000 RPM operating range.
The MFS60 incorporates Tohatsu’s advanced Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) system, ensuring optimal fuel delivery in all operating conditions. This sophisticated system automatically adjusts the air-fuel mixture for maximum efficiency, providing easier starting, improved throttle response, and significantly better fuel economy compared to carbureted alternatives. The result is an engine that performs consistently whether you’re trolling at low speeds or running at wide-open throttle.
One of the standout features of the MFS60 is its optimized gear case design, which includes a carefully calibrated 2.17:1 gear ratio specifically engineered to improve both hole shot performance and top-end speed. This lower gear ratio allows the engine to turn larger diameter propellers more efficiently, providing exceptional acceleration from a standstill while maintaining impressive top-speed capabilities. The gear case design also contributes to the engine’s outstanding power-to-weight ratio, delivering performance that rivals much heavier competitors.
The MFS60 features adjustable idle and trolling speed control, allowing operators to fine-tune engine RPMs from 650 to 950 for precise boat positioning during fishing or docking maneuvers. This feature can be easily adjusted using either your remote control box or the optional multi-function tiller handle, providing convenient access to this valuable capability. The engine also includes TOCS (Tohatsu Onboard Communication System) for seamless integration with onboard electronic devices through simple plug-and-play connections.
Power management is exceptional with the MFS60’s high-output 21-amp alternator, one of the largest capacity charging systems in its class. This robust charging capability ensures your boat’s electrical systems remain fully powered, supporting fish finders, GPS units, lighting, and other essential electronics without concern for battery depletion during extended outings.
Available with both remote control and optional multi-function tiller handle configurations, the MFS60 offers versatile installation options to suit various boat layouts and operator preferences. The engine accommodates 15-inch and 20-inch transom heights and works with propellers ranging from 8 to 14 inches, allowing you to optimize performance for your specific boat configuration and intended use.
The MFS60 is available in Aqua Marine Blue, complementing modern boat designs while providing the distinctive Tohatsu aesthetic that’s recognized worldwide for quality and performance. The engine’s advanced design incorporates Tohatsu’s Simpliq™ Technology philosophy, ensuring that sophisticated engineering translates into user-friendly operation and reliable performance.
Whether you’re powering a center console fishing boat, recreational runabout, or multi-purpose craft, the Tohatsu MFS60 delivers the perfect combination of lightweight design, fuel efficiency, and robust power output. The engine excels in applications where weight savings translate directly to better performance, improved fuel economy, and easier handling both on and off the water.
Backed by Tohatsu’s industry-leading 5-year limited warranty and supported by Northeast Marine’s comprehensive service network, the MFS60 represents exceptional value in the mid-range outboard category. This motor proves that advanced engineering can deliver more power with less weight, setting new standards for what’s achievable in the 60 horsepower class while maintaining the reliability and durability that Tohatsu engines are renowned for worldwide.
