Tohatsu MFS6 2024: Maximum Output, Minimum Fuss
The 2024 Tohatsu MFS6 is the strongest tune of Tohatsu’s 123cc (7.5 cu in) single-cylinder four stroke, producing 6 HP (4.4 kW) — the most power available from this compact, lightweight platform. You get full Forward-Neutral-Reverse gearing, shallow water drive, and the same easy-carry proportions as the MFS4 and MFS5, so the extra horsepower costs you almost nothing in portability. A Sail Pro variant with extra-long shaft and high-thrust propeller is offered for sailboat auxiliary work. When your boat sits at the top of what a 5 can push, this is the answer in the small horsepower class.
