Tohatsu 6HP Outboard | MFS6DWDS

Small fishing boats, personal watercraft and other light recreational hulls are where the MFS6DWDS tends to end up. It is a single-cylinder four-stroke rated at 6 hp, displacing 123cc and carburetor fed. Its shaft runs 15 inches with tiller steering and a manual starter; shipping weight is 56 lbs, and the engine tops out at 5000 to 6000 rpm at full throttle.

Why a motor this size makes sense

Portability and simple handling matter more than outright speed for the kind of craft this engine is sized for, whether that's a small primary motor on a light hull or a spare kept aboard a larger boat for backup power.

Cowl and storage details

Front and back carrying handles on this generation's cowl are shaped for an easier lift, and the motor can be set down in 3 different storage positions without oil migrating into the cylinder. This 6 hp line is offered in white only.

Equipment runs from a stop-switch lanyard through a service kit to the propeller, a small internal fuel tank, and a fitting that lets an external tank connect when more range is needed; the owner's manual rounds out the set.

Can this run in saltwater? Confirm saltwater suitability for this exact configuration with us before ordering, since that detail varies within the 6 hp lineup.

What's the warranty? 5 years from Tohatsu.

Does this model offer remote steering as an option? No, it is built as a tiller-only motor with no remote-steering configuration.
