About the MFS15EL
The Tohatsu MFS15EL outboard motor combines dependable 15 horsepower with the versatility of a 20-inch shaft length, making it the perfect choice for boats with higher transoms or applications requiring enhanced deep-water performance. This 2-cylinder, 4-stroke engine features convenient electric start technology, eliminating the need for manual pull-cord starting while maintaining the reliability Tohatsu has delivered since 1956.
Weighing 97 pounds, the MFS15EL is engineered with Tohatsu’s proven OHV carburetor system that delivers smooth, consistent power throughout its 5,000-6,000 RPM operating range. The 209cc displacement provides excellent torque characteristics for its class, ensuring reliable acceleration and steady cruising whether you’re navigating coastal waters or exploring inland lakes. The longer 20-inch shaft design offers improved propeller depth, reducing ventilation in rough conditions and enhancing overall performance compared to shorter shaft alternatives.
The electric start system provides effortless ignition with the simple turn of a key, while the manual recoil starter serves as a dependable backup. The 12V alternator keeps your battery charged during operation, supporting electronics and ensuring reliable restarts. With propeller options ranging from 6 to 9 inches, the MFS15EL can be customized to match your specific boat configuration and performance preferences.
Tohatsu’s 4-stroke design delivers superior fuel efficiency compared to 2-stroke engines, while running quieter and cleaner to meet current emission standards. The robust construction features corrosion-resistant materials designed to withstand harsh marine environments, backed by accessible maintenance points that simplify routine service. The longer shaft length makes the MFS15EL particularly well-suited for center console boats, larger tenders, and vessels where the motor needs to maintain proper depth for optimal water flow.
Whether powering a fishing boat, serving as reliable auxiliary power, or providing primary propulsion for recreational cruising, the Tohatsu MFS15EL offers the perfect combination of electric start convenience, proven 4-stroke efficiency, and the enhanced performance benefits of a 20-inch shaft design. This outboard represents exceptional value for boaters seeking dependable power with the flexibility to handle diverse marine applications.
