Tohatsu MFS5 Portable Outboard Motor 2025 – 5HP Four Stroke

Tohatsu MFS5 2025: Gasoline, Propane, or Sail-Optimized

The 2025 Tohatsu MFS5 continues to offer more configuration choice than almost anything in its class. The core engine is a 123cc (7.5 cu in) single-cylinder four stroke rated 5 HP (3.7 kW) with full Forward-Neutral-Reverse gearing, shallow water drive, and light weight. From there, the Sail Pro variant adds an extra-long shaft and high-thrust propeller for sailboats, while the LPG variant runs on propane for owners who’d rather never deal with ethanol or stale gasoline again. A versatile standout in the 5HP outboard class.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the 2025 MFS5 cost?

Why choose the LPG propane version?

Propane doesn’t go stale or absorb water, so there’s no carburetor gumming, no ethanol damage, and no fuel to drain for winter storage.

Is it good for a sailboat?

Yes — especially the Sail Pro variant, built with an extra-long shaft and high-thrust prop for displacement hulls.
