Tohatsu 9.9HP MFS9.9EEPTS Outboard Motor

The Tohatsu MFS9.9EEPTS pairs a 9.9 hp two-cylinder four-stroke with remote mechanical steering rather than a tiller arm, a 15-inch shaft, and dual electric-or-manual starting, at a listed weight of 114 lbs. EFI feeds the two cylinders instead of a carburetor, which tends to make cold starts and idle quality more consistent through a boating season.

Where this engine belongs

Remote mechanical steering means throttle, shift, and direction come from a console or side-mount control box and cables rather than a handle on the engine, so this model suits a boat that is already rigged, or being rigged, for that kind of helm. A second, smaller boat used alongside a bigger primary rig is a common use for a motor in this class.

Starting and running

Day-to-day starting is electric, while the manual pull-cord is kept on hand so a flat battery or a loose connection does not strand the boat at the ramp. Full throttle on this engine sits in a 5400-6100 rpm band, and the two-cylinder, 333cc design is built to reach that range smoothly rather than surge into it.

Before you order

Measure your transom and confirm the 15-inch shaft is correct; shaft length cannot be changed after installation, and getting it wrong there affects both handling and how well the propeller stays submerged. Also confirm your existing remote control box and cables, if you already have them, are compatible with this specific engine.

What is the displacement? 333cc split across two cylinders.

What is the warranty? 5 years, as stated for this model.
