Tohatsu 9.9HP | MFS9.9EEFTL

The Tohatsu 9.9HP MFS9.9EEFTL puts power tilt on the 20-inch-shaft EFI motor in this family, at about 118 lbs, with both electric and manual starting built in.

What power tilt adds

Raising and lowering the motor at the push of a button is the point of power tilt, pulling its current from the same alternator circuit electric start uses. Expect a bit more load on your battery than a non-tilt setup, but the tradeoff is quick trim changes as speed or load shifts through the day. Full-throttle rpm on this twin-cylinder EFI engine spans 5400 to 6100.

Starting and backup

Electric start is the everyday method, and a manual pull-start stays available if the battery ever runs flat partway through a trip. In the crate: the propeller, a 3.1-gallon tank with its line, the power tilt gear, a tool kit, a lanyard kill switch, an owner's manual, and the charging hardware behind electric start. Warranty on this unit runs 5 years, the same term that applies across this engine's wider lineup regardless of trim option.

Does power tilt replace manual trim? It handles tilt; this listing doesn't separately break out a manual trim adjustment.

Does this configuration include a fuel tank? Yes, the external 3.1-gallon tank and its line ship with it.

What's the weight? About 118 lbs.
