Tohatsu 9.8 HP Tiller Outboard Motor - MFS9.8C - 2024

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
• Trim tab reduces steering effort, functioning also as the sacrificial anode that protects the engine from electrolysis
• Ultra Low emission, EPA and CARB 3-Star rating approved
• Digital CD ignition for easier engine starting, quicker throttle response and smoother trolling
• Manual choke on tiller models
• Recoil starter with larger reel making manual starting fast and easy
• Through-the-prop exhaust for a quieter ride
• Thermostatically controlled cooling system for consistent engine temperature
• Stainless steel water pump housing liner for outstanding durability
• High grade marine aluminum alloy that provides the ultimate protection against corrosion
• Zinc coating on internal water passages for superior corrosion resistance
• Low oil pressure indicator
• Safety lanyard (an essential protection feature standard on all Tohatsu outboards)
• Start-in-gear protection for safer engine starting
• Over-rev. limiter
