The Tohatsu MFS9.8C represents a breakthrough in portable outboard technology, introducing the marine industry’s first battery-less Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) system in a remarkably lightweight 57-pound package. This innovative new 2-cylinder, 4-stroke outboard motor delivers reliable 9.8 horsepower performance while setting new standards for fuel efficiency, starting reliability, and environmental responsibility in the kicker and auxiliary motor category.

At the heart of the MFS9.8C’s revolutionary design lies Tohatsu’s pioneering battery-less EFI technology, which eliminates the need for an external battery while delivering all the benefits of electronic fuel injection. This advanced system provides smoother operation, easier starting in all weather conditions, and significantly improved fuel efficiency compared to traditional carbureted engines. The EFI system automatically optimizes fuel delivery across varying operating conditions, ensuring consistent performance whether you’re trolling at low speeds or running at higher RPMs.

The engine features a precision-engineered 2-cylinder design with 12.8 cubic inches of displacement and a sophisticated 2.17 x 1.73 inch bore and stroke configuration. Operating smoothly across its 5,000-6,000 RPM range, the MFS9.8C delivers responsive power that’s perfectly calibrated for auxiliary and kicker motor applications where reliability and fuel efficiency are paramount.

Specifically designed for kicker and sailboat applications, the MFS9.8C ultra-long models come equipped with a high-thrust 4-blade propeller that maximizes pushing power at lower speeds. This configuration makes the motor ideal for trolling, precise boat positioning, and providing auxiliary propulsion when wind conditions are insufficient for sailing. The 2.15:1 gear ratio is optimized for this type of operation, delivering excellent low-end torque for smooth acceleration and superior control.

The MFS9.8C incorporates a robust 7-amp charging system that helps maintain your boat’s electrical systems during operation. Despite its compact size, this charging capability ensures that essential electronics like fish finders, GPS units, and navigation lights remain powered during extended outings.

The engine features a high-quality, easy-to-remove water and fuel separator with a red ring float indicator that immediately alerts you if water has entered the fuel system. This valuable safety feature helps prevent engine damage and ensures reliable operation in marine environments where fuel contamination can be a concern.

Available in both tiller handle and remote control configurations, the MFS9.8C offers versatile installation options to suit various boat layouts and operator preferences. The tiller configuration provides direct, responsive control that’s ideal for precise maneuvering, while the remote control option allows for more sophisticated helm setups. Power tilt is available across the model range, adding convenience for shallow water operation, trailer loading, and easy adjustment of the motor’s running angle.

The MFS9.8C’s lightweight construction makes it exceptionally easy to handle, whether you’re installing it on a transom mount, deploying it as a kicker motor, or storing it when not in use. The compact design and minimal weight make transportation and storage simple while maintaining the durability expected from professional-grade marine equipment.

Available in both striking Aqua Marine Blue and elegant Beluga White color options, the MFS9.8C complements modern boat designs while providing the distinctive Tohatsu aesthetic that’s recognized worldwide for quality and performance. The engine offers flexible installation with 15-inch, 20-inch, and 25-inch transom height options to accommodate various boat configurations and mounting requirements.

The motor accommodates propellers ranging from 4.5 to 7 inches, allowing you to fine-tune performance for your specific application. Whether you’re using it for trolling, emergency backup power, or extending your sailing range, the motor can be optimized for your particular needs and operating conditions.

The MFS9.8C represents the evolution of auxiliary motor technology, where advanced engineering creates more capability with better efficiency and lower environmental impact. This motor is perfect for serious anglers who need reliable trolling power, sailboat owners seeking dependable auxiliary propulsion, or anyone requiring efficient backup power that doesn’t compromise on performance.

Backed by Tohatsu’s industry-leading 5-year limited warranty and supported by Northeast Marine’s comprehensive service network, the MFS9.8C proves that innovation and reliability can coexist in a compact package. This motor sets a new benchmark for what’s possible in the auxiliary outboard category, delivering professional-grade performance with the convenience and efficiency that modern boaters demand.
