Tohatsu 15HP | MFS15EEFL

Tiller steering, electric start with a pull-cord backup, and fuel injection come together in the Tohatsu MFS15EEFL, rated at 15 HP on a 20-inch shaft.

Performance range

The 333cc engine runs a full throttle range of 5400 to 6100 RPM across two cylinders, and Tohatsu lists this unit at 106 lbs, light enough for most owners to lift onto a transom without mechanical help.

What ships with it

The package includes the propeller, an external 3.1-gallon fuel tank, a fuel line hose, a charging system, a service tool kit with parts, a stop-switch lanyard, and an owner's manual, backed by Tohatsu's five-year warranty.

Fit notes

This 20-inch shaft is sized for a standard transom in this outboard class; a short-shaft build of the same engine is sold separately for lower transoms. Measuring the transom before ordering avoids the most common fitment mistake with small outboards.

Why electric start with a backup

Pairing electric start with a manual pull cord means a flat battery does not strand the boat; the backup is there specifically for that situation rather than for everyday starting.

Common questions

Does it start electrically? Yes, with a manual pull-cord backup if needed. What is the full throttle RPM range? 5400 to 6100 RPM, the same band Tohatsu lists for this engine across both of its shaft length options.
