The Tohatsu MFS9.9EEFS outboard motor offers the ideal combination of compact efficiency and modern convenience, delivering dependable 9.9 horsepower through proven 4-stroke technology with electric start ease and precise tiller handle control. This 2-cylinder EFI engine represents Tohatsu’s commitment to creating the lightest, most reliable outboards in their class while maintaining the performance and durability boaters have trusted since 1956.
Electric start technology transforms the starting experience, providing instant ignition with the simple turn of a key and eliminating the physical effort required with manual starting systems. The robust 12V alternator maintains battery charge during operation, ensuring reliable power for electronics and consistent restarts throughout your time on the water. At just 104 pounds, the MFS9.9EEFS achieves exceptional portability without sacrificing performance or build quality.
The ergonomic tiller handle provides direct, responsive steering control that’s particularly valuable for fishing applications, precise boat positioning, and close-quarters maneuvering. This hands-on control system allows for immediate throttle and steering adjustments, making it the preferred choice for anglers who need to maintain exact positioning while fishing or recreational boaters who enjoy the traditional feel and immediate response of tiller steering.
Built with a compact 15-inch shaft length, the MFS9.9EEFS is specifically designed for boats with standard transom heights, making it ideal for jon boats, dinghies, small fishing boats, and kicker applications on larger vessels. The shorter shaft configuration optimizes weight distribution and provides excellent clearance for shallow water operation while maintaining reliable water flow to the propeller.
The 333cc displacement engine features Tohatsu’s advanced EFI system for precise fuel delivery, contributing to exceptional fuel economy of just 1.03 gallons per hour at wide-open throttle. This efficiency translates to extended range and reduced operating costs, while the clean-burning 4-stroke design meets stringent EPA and CARB emission standards. The engine operates smoothly across its 5,400-6,100 RPM range, providing consistent power delivery for various applications.
Tohatsu’s renowned build quality is evident throughout, with comprehensive corrosion protection, marine-grade components, and easily accessible maintenance points that simplify routine care. The engine includes standard safety features like an engine stop switch with lanyard, manual recoil starter backup for added reliability, and decompression release for easier starting.
Perfect for kicker and auxiliary power applications, small boat primary propulsion, or as a reliable tender engine, the MFS9.9EEFS excels in situations where lightweight efficiency meets modern convenience. Its combination of electric start reliability, responsive tiller control, outstanding fuel efficiency, and Tohatsu’s legendary durability makes it an excellent choice for boaters seeking maximum value in a compact, feature-rich marine engine that delivers professional performance in the most demanding applications.
