The Tohatsu MFS9.8CEPTL represents cutting-edge outboard technology, featuring revolutionary battery-less Electronic Fuel Injection that delivers precise fuel management without requiring a separate battery system. This sophisticated two-cylinder, four-stroke engine produces 9.8 horsepower with exceptional efficiency, consuming just 1.05 gallons per hour at wide-open throttle while maintaining smooth, quiet operation throughout its 5,300-6,200 RPM range.

Electric start convenience eliminates manual pulling, providing reliable ignition with simple push-button operation. The remote steering compatibility makes this engine ideal for center console boats and vessels where helm-mounted controls are preferred. The integrated power trim & tilt system allows precise boat attitude adjustment from the helm, optimizing performance for varying load conditions, shallow water navigation, and enhanced boat handling.

With its 20-inch shaft length, the MFS9.8CEPTL accommodates standard transom heights found on most boats, skiffs, and center consoles. At 105 pounds, this engine balances advanced features with manageable weight for installation and maintenance. The compact 12.8 cubic inches of displacement from its twin-cylinder design provides excellent power-to-weight ratio with minimal vibration.

Advanced engineering features include a 2.08:1 gear reduction ratio for optimal thrust characteristics and an 84-watt alternator that reliably charges onboard electronics. The trochoid pump lubrication system ensures consistent oil circulation, while electronically advanced ignition timing optimizes performance and fuel efficiency across all operating conditions. EPA and CARB 3-Star emissions compliance demonstrates environmental responsibility without compromising performance.

The groundbreaking battery-less EFI technology eliminates complexity associated with traditional fuel injection systems while providing superior throttle response and fuel economy. This innovation represents Tohatsu’s commitment to making advanced technology accessible in smaller displacement engines.

Perfect for fishing boats, center consoles, and small craft where remote steering and premium features are desired, the MFS9.8CEPTL excels in applications requiring reliable power, convenience, and precise control. Whether you’re navigating coastal waters, fishing offshore, or cruising inland waterways, this engine delivers consistent performance with the quality and durability that has made Tohatsu the trusted choice for discerning boaters worldwide since 1956.
