Revolutionary Design

Horsepower is determined by displacement and maximum RPM, but increasing displacement makes the weight increase, which is not a favourable option. Minimising displacement, yet at the same time maximising the performance of acceleration was the biggest challenge in designing these new engines. To address this Tohatsu have re-imagined the conventional stereotype exhaust system to create a '4-2-1 Performance Tuned Exhaust' giving maximum torque and acceleration performance.

Easier Maintenance

Maintenance features are key to engine longevity. Tohatsu have added new features for easier maintenance:

  • An oil catch tray for cleaner oil filter changes.
  • An auto-tensioner for stress-free timing belt adjustment.
  • Roller locker arms for minimal friction for reduced wear.

Summary of New Tohatsu Characteristics

  • Unique 4-2-1 Performance Tuned Exhaust manifold has been designed to maximize
    low-end torque and acceleration performance.
  • Best in class torque – displacement ratio creates excellent performance for all styles
    of boats from lightweight to heavyweight.
  • Key elements of Simpliq ™ Technology; Simple Architecture, Easy to Use Interface
    and Absolute Quality are all in these models

Tohatsu has also added the very stylish 'BELUGA WHITE' model for their existing MFS50 and 60HP long shaft engines, as well as the new MFS115HP Long and Ultra Long shaft.

Coronavirus (COVID-19): Irish Sailing & Boating

Since restrictions began in March 2020, the Government is preparing for a 'controlled and gradual return to sport' and the 2020 sailing fixtures are being tentatively redrafted by yacht clubs, rowing clubs angling and diving clubs across Ireland as the country enters a new phase in dealing with the Coronavirus. The hope is that a COVID-19 restrictions might be eased by May 5th as Sport Ireland has asked national governing bodies for information on the challenges they face. 

Coronavirus (COVID-19) information

COVID-19 is a new illness that can affect your lungs and airways. It's caused by a virus called coronavirus.

Restricted movements

Everybody in Ireland has been asked to stay at home. You should only go out for a few reasons, such as shopping for food.

But you need to restrict your movements further if you: 

  • live with someone who has symptoms of coronavirus, but you feel well
  • are a close contact of a confirmed case of coronavirus
  • have returned to Ireland from another country

You need to restrict your movements for at least 14 days.

But if the person you live with has had a test and it is negative, you don't need to wait 14 days. You should still follow the advice for everyone - stay at home as much as possible.

Close contact

This is only a guide but close contact can mean:

  • spending more than 15 minutes of face-to-face contact within 2 metres of an infected person
  • living in the same house or shared accommodation as an infected person

Follow the advice for everybody - stay at home.
