The Tohatsu MFS9.9ES outboard motor delivers efficient 9.9 horsepower through proven 4-stroke technology with the modern convenience of electric start, making it an ideal choice for kicker applications, auxiliary power, and lightweight boating needs. This 2-cylinder EFI engine represents Tohatsu’s commitment to creating the lightest, most fuel-efficient outboards in their class while maintaining the legendary reliability and durability that has made Tohatsu a trusted name in marine propulsion 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 pull-cord starting. The robust 12V alternator maintains battery charge during operation, ensuring reliable power for onboard electronics and consistent restarts throughout your time on the water. At just 104 pounds, the MFS9.9ES achieves exceptional portability while delivering serious performance and build quality.
Built with a compact 15-inch shaft length, the MFS9.9ES is specifically designed for boats with standard transom heights, making it perfect for jon boats, small fishing boats, dinghies, 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 for consistent thrust.
The 333cc displacement engine features Tohatsu’s advanced battery-less EFI system for precise fuel delivery, contributing to exceptional fuel economy of just 1.03 gallons per hour at wide-open throttle. This outstanding efficiency translates to extended range and significantly 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 designed for saltwater environments, and easily accessible maintenance points that simplify routine care. Standard safety features include an engine stop switch with lanyard, manual recoil starter backup for added reliability, and decompression release for easier starting.
The MFS9.9ES excels in applications where lightweight efficiency meets modern convenience. Its compact design and electric start capability make it particularly well-suited for kicker and auxiliary power applications, where reliable starting and fuel efficiency are crucial. The engine’s low weight and compact footprint also make it an excellent choice for small boat primary propulsion, tender engines, and situations where space and weight constraints are important considerations.
Perfect for anglers needing dependable kicker power, recreational boaters seeking efficient auxiliary propulsion, or anyone requiring a lightweight, fuel-efficient marine engine with modern starting convenience, the Tohatsu MFS9.9ES delivers exceptional value. Its combination of electric start reliability, outstanding fuel efficiency, proven 4-stroke technology, and Tohatsu’s legendary durability makes it an excellent choice for boaters who demand professional performance in the most compact, efficient package available.
