The Tohatsu MFS30DS represents the pinnacle of compact outboard engineering, featuring a revolutionary 3-cylinder, 4-stroke design that achieves the lightest weight in its class at just 128 pounds. This innovative Generation D model delivers 30 horsepower with impressive fuel efficiency, consuming only 2.7 gallons per hour at wide-open throttle while maintaining EPA and CARB 3-Star emission compliance for ultra-low environmental impact.
Advanced battery-less Electronic Fuel Injection technology eliminates the need for a battery to operate the fuel system, ensuring reliable starts and smooth operation even in challenging conditions. This sophisticated EFI system provides superior fuel economy across the entire 5,500-6,500 RPM operating range, while the electronically advanced ignition timing optimizes performance and reduces emissions. The 500cc displacement and 61mm x 57mm bore and stroke configuration deliver exceptional torque characteristics for superior acceleration and top-end performance.
The newly designed torpedo-shaped gear case reduces drag and improves hydrodynamic flow, while repositioned upper and lower engine mounts minimize vibration for quieter operation. The optimized 2.17:1 gear ratio maximizes low-end torque, perfect for getting boats on plane quickly and efficiently. Additional engineering improvements include dual water intakes for enhanced cooling and a transparent fuel filter with floating indicator ring for easy monitoring.
The MFS30DS features Tohatsu’s redesigned standard tiller handle with integrated four-step variable idle control (750-1050 RPM), forward-neutral-reverse shifter, throttle friction adjustment, and engine stop switch. The 15-inch shaft length makes this motor ideal for transoms requiring shorter configurations, while the robust 12V, 210W, 17.5A alternator provides best-in-class charging output to keep batteries topped off during extended outings.
Built for maximum versatility, the MFS30DS excels with inflatables, RIBs, aluminum boats, fiberglass hulls, and pontoons. The lightweight design reduces transom stress while maintaining the durability Tohatsu is known for. High-solid paint coating provides superior protection against UV rays and saltwater corrosion. With Tohatsu’s legendary reliability, comprehensive 5-year limited warranty, and proven Japanese engineering dating back to 1956, the MFS30DS delivers the perfect balance of power, efficiency, and dependability for boaters who demand uncompromising performance in a lightweight, fuel-efficient package.
