Tohatsu 3.5HP | MFS3.5CS

Tohatsu's 3.5HP MFS3.5CS is a portable, tiller-steered, manual-start outboard built for small boats, dinghies and as a kicker motor, weighing just 41 lbs with its 15-inch shaft. The single-cylinder, 86cc engine uses carburetor induction rather than EFI, keeping the design simple for an engine this size.

Why the weight matters

At 41 lbs, this is light enough to carry by hand using the built-in front and back handles, and it can be stored in several different positions without spilling oil; check the owner's manual for the specific storage and transport guidelines. Confirm the 15-inch shaft suits your boat's transom before ordering.

What's in the package

A set of basic service tools and spare parts comes with the engine, along with its owner's manual, a tether-style kill switch, a small internal fuel tank holding roughly a quarter gallon, and a matched propeller.

Built-in vibration control

A four-point vibration absorption system is built into the mounts to reduce the shake transmitted to the boat, and the redesigned cowl uses Tohatsu's Simpliq design approach for marine products.
