The Tohatsu MFS80AJETETUL fills the sweet spot in Tohatsu’s jet drive lineup — enough power to handle larger jet sleds and aluminum hulls running heavier loads, with the same compact, lightweight architecture that makes the 65 and 100 HP versions so attractive. At 414.5 pounds, the MFS80AJETETUL is among the lightest 80 HP jet outboards available, a direct benefit of being built on the proven MFS90/115/140 platform rather than a heavier, dedicated jet engine.

Power comes from a 4-cylinder, 1,995cc EFI four-stroke producing a Jet Power output of 80 HP. The unique SOHC-4V cylinder head design — exclusive to this class — works with electronic fuel injection to deliver smooth acceleration, dependable cold-weather starting, and balanced fuel efficiency. At wide-open throttle, the MFS80AJETETUL consumes 10.14 gallons per hour, a meaningful step up in capability over the 65 HP variant while staying well under the 100’s appetite. For boaters who want more headroom without the fuel demands of a top-spec jet, this is the practical middle ground.

Standard equipment on this configuration includes electric start for effortless ignition, power trim and tilt for quick on-water adjustment, and a 25-inch ultra-long shaft suited to dedicated jet boat hulls and aluminum rigs with raised transoms. A robust 12V, 492-watt, 41-amp alternator powers electronics, livewells, and battery banks without strain, while the chromed pump case liner and high-solid paint coating give the engine the toughness it needs for saltwater, brackish bays, and abrasive river bottoms.

Practical, real-world touches make the Tohatsu 80 HP outboard exceptionally easy to live with. Adjustable idle and trolling speed lets you fine-tune RPM in five steps between 650 and 850 RPM — ideal for slow-speed maneuvering in tight channels or controlled drifts while fishing. TOCS (Tohatsu Onboard Communication System) delivers plug-and-play connection with onboard electronics, simplifying installation of a multifunctional tachometer, trim meter, or auxiliary gauges. Compatibility with both Multi-Function Tiller Handle and remote control systems gives you full flexibility in how the boat is rigged.

With EPA and CARB 3-Star emissions compliance, the MFS80AJETETUL meets the strictest clean-running standards while delivering the long-term reliability and low-maintenance ownership Tohatsu has built since 1956. Whether you’re running shallow flats, navigating rocky inland rivers, or repowering a jet sled with a stronger, more efficient four-stroke, the MFS80AJETETUL offers a rare combination of real power, light weight, and proven Japanese engineering — backed by Northeast Marine for sales, rigging, and ongoing service support.
