Japanese outboard motor manufacturer Tohatsu Corporation has announced that it will start delivering its largest 140hp engines to worldwide distributors in September 2021.
These new engines have been developed and designed based on Tohatsu’s “simple technology” philosophy which aims to create simple, easy-to-use, high-quality outboard motors. The MFS 140 has higher torque, faster top-end speed and acceleration than previous Tohatsu models.
The all-new 140hp 4-Stroke model has even higher torque, faster top-end speed and acceleration compared to MFS115. This is achieved through the same Tohatsu’s industry-first designed exhaust manifold. Tohatsu’s unique 4-2-1 Performance Tuned Exhaust has its exhaust passages equal in length. This eliminates the possibility of exhaust interference and drastically improves the torque, resulting in a quicker hole-shot and top-end speed.
Tohatsu’s president Isami Hyuga commented: “We genuinely believe that in specific configurations of boat types, the MFS 140 will compare favourably with 150 horsepower outboards and will provide an amazing boating experience.
“Our 4-2-1 Performance Tuned Exhaust has allowed us to achieve better performances in MFS140 and believe it will do the job of 150hp in lighter boat configurations,” says Hyuga.
This newest addition of the model lineup will be available in Tohatsu Aqua Marine Blue and Beluga White, a wide variety of shaft lengths, and Tiller or Remote options.
The first MFS140 engines will be available in New Zealand this summer.
