Description
The new generation of MFS9C model lineup is engineered to be EFI (Electronic Fuel Injection) for the first time in 200 cc class. The battery-less EFI model is the lightest 2-cylinder 8 HP on the market, with upgraded features from its predecessor.
Features:
- Battery-less EFI System:
- The EFI system will provide consistent starting, stability at idle and fuel efficiency
- Eliminate the hassles experienced with carbureted models, such as clogging and overhaul of carburetor because of ethanol fuel related issues
- Water Cooled Fuel Pump: Water cooled fuel pump is now a standard feature on MFS8C to offer consistent starting, stable idling and optimal running
- Standard Tiller Handle:Ergonomically designed tiller handle includes forward-neutral-reverse front shift lever, stop switch and throttle friction adjustment
- Newly Designed Carrying Handle for Tiller Model: In addition to an overall cleaner look by routing shift & throttle cables and wirings through the handle, the new carrying handle features a 40% increase in surface area and smooth shape to reduce the pressure when carrying
- Location of Fuel Connectors: Tiller models: Located on starboard side of lower cowling
- Easy-to-Use Flushing Port:
- Flushing port has been relocated to the mid-section for easier access
- Freshwater flushing is now easier than ever as no special tools are required
- Improved Crankcase Ventilation System: The returning port of the engine crankcase vent has been positioned where the vacuum pressure draws the blow-by vapors more efficiently
- Functional Cowling Design:Rubber grip has been installed at the tilt handle for easier manual tilting and transporting
- Improved Center of Gravity:The center of gravity has slightly shifted toward the front of the outboard reducing the manual tilt effort by 19%
- Sleek Cowling Design:Based on Tohatsu's design philosophy, the look of the cowling has been crafted to align with MFS2.5-MFS30
- Easy Daily Maintenance Fuel Filter: Clear fuel filter with floating indicator ring provides detection of water in the fuel system. Tool-free quick drain valve allows for easy serviceability
- Lightest 2-Cylinder EFI available on the market
- Reduced vibration for smooth and stable running at all speeds
- Greatly reduced induction noise for a quieter ride
