The Tohatsu MFS20EEFL represents the perfect fusion of Tohatsu’s proven 2-cylinder engineering and electric start convenience in a long-shaft tiller configuration. At 106 pounds, this Generation E model delivers 20 horsepower with the convenience of electric start while maintaining the direct control and precise maneuverability that experienced boaters prefer in tiller-steered engines. The 20-inch shaft length makes this motor perfect for deeper transom applications, bay boats, and larger hulls requiring proper water immersion for optimal cooling and performance.
Advanced battery-less Electronic Fuel Injection technology ensures reliable operation across the entire 5,400-6,100 RPM range, delivering exceptional fuel efficiency at 1.66 gallons per hour at wide-open throttle while maintaining EPA and CARB 3-Star emission compliance. This sophisticated EFI system provides smooth acceleration, easier cold starts, and superior fuel economy in all conditions. The 333cc displacement with optimized 61mm x 57mm bore and stroke delivers impressive torque characteristics specifically tuned for efficient 20 horsepower output.
The compact 2-cylinder design minimizes weight while maximizing performance, featuring electronically advanced ignition timing and a robust trochoid pump lubrication system. The optimized 2.15:1 gear ratio provides excellent acceleration and efficiency across all operating conditions. The reliable 12V, 145W, 12A alternator output keeps batteries charged during extended outings while supporting onboard electrical systems.
The MFS20EEFL features an ergonomic tiller handle with integrated electric start button, forward-neutral-reverse shifter, throttle friction adjustment, and engine stop switch. The twist-grip throttle provides precise speed control while the longer shaft ensures proper cooling water flow for deeper transom installations. Manual recoil starter provides reliable backup starting capability, ensuring dependable operation in any situation.
Built for versatility and hands-on control, the MFS20EEFL excels with aluminum bay boats, larger fishing boats, deeper transom applications, and craft where direct tiller control is preferred for precise maneuvering. The included 12-liter fuel tank provides adequate range for extended fishing trips and excursions. High-solid paint coating provides superior protection against UV rays and saltwater corrosion.
With Tohatsu’s comprehensive 5-year limited warranty and proven Japanese engineering excellence, the MFS20EEFL delivers the perfect combination of modern electric start convenience and responsive tiller control for boaters who demand both reliability and the direct connection between operator and engine in a long-shaft configuration designed for deeper transom applications.
