Tohatsu 140HP MFS140AETL Outboard Motor

Tohatsu's MFS140AETL delivers 140 HP from a four-cylinder four-stroke engine mounted on a 20-inch shaft, offered here as a used unit for boaters who want that output without new-motor pricing.

Engine basics

Tohatsu's specification for this model lists a four-cylinder engine displacing 1995cc with electronic fuel injection; full throttle tops out in the 5150 to 5850 RPM band. Electric start and remote mechanical steering are standard, and the five-year coverage Tohatsu lists for this model applies.

Buying used

As a used motor, expect wear consistent with prior hours on the water; weight and cosmetic finish will vary from a new unit, so check with the seller for an hour count and any service records before committing. A used purchase is also a chance to weigh price against a new MFS140AETL if budget is the deciding factor, and asking for photos of the powerhead and lower unit before paying is reasonable for any used outboard.

Fit notes

A 20-inch shaft matches the transom height typical for this class of outboard; a boat that has not run a 140 HP Tohatsu before should have that measurement confirmed first.

Common questions

Is this a four-cylinder engine? Yes, Tohatsu's specification for the MFS140AETL lists four cylinders. Does it include power trim and tilt? Check equipped features on the specific unit before ordering, since used listings can vary.
