Tohatsu 2.5 HP Outboard for Sale: The MFS2.5CS

Tohatsu has built small outboards for decades, and its portables have been sold under several well known brand names over the years. The MFS2.5 is the smallest motor in the range and a favourite with yacht owners and paddlers who want something light enough to lift with one hand. If you are looking for a Tohatsu 2.5 HP outboard for sale, this is the model we stock.

Model in Stock

MFS stands for Marine Four Stroke, 2.5 is the horsepower, C is the generation and S the short shaft.

Who Is the MFS2.5 For?

  • Yacht owners with small tenders and dinghies.
  • Canoe and kayak owners using a side bracket.

  • Anyone who wants a backup motor that stores easily.

A 2.5 HP motor moves small boats at displacement speeds. If you need more push, look at the Tohatsu 3.5 HP or Tohatsu 6 HP.

Why Choose the Tohatsu 2.5?

Extremely light

Tohatsu is known for keeping weight down, and the MFS2.5 is among the lightest four stroke outboards available. That makes it easy to carry, mount and stow.

Built in fuel tank

The motor carries its own fuel, so there is no separate tank or hose to bring along.

Simple and dependable

A straightforward single cylinder design with few parts to go wrong, which suits boating far from service centres.

Four stroke economy

No oil mixing, low fuel use and quiet, smoke free running.

Easy manoeuvring

Like most micro outboards, you steer with the tiller and reverse by swivelling the motor round on its mount.

Short Shaft Check

The MFS2.5CS has a 15 inch shaft, which suits most inflatables, dinghies and canoe brackets. Measure from the top of the transom to the bottom of the hull. If you need a longer shaft for a sailboat bracket, look at the MFS3.5CL.

Care Tips

  • Flush with fresh water after salt water use.
  • Check oil before every trip; small motors hold only a little.
  • Drain the carburettor or use stabilised fuel before storage.
  • Carry and lay the motor only on the side shown in the manual.
  • Fit a safety lanyard when mounting it on a tender.

Using the MFS2.5 on a Tender

Clamp the motor centrally on the transom, tighten the clamp screws firmly and attach a safety lanyard. Set the tilt so the shaft is vertical when the boat is moving. A 2.5 HP motor moves a small tender at a steady, economical pace, which is ideal for short trips from anchorage to shore. Allow extra time against strong wind or current.

Getting the Best Fuel Economy

Running at about three quarters throttle usually gives almost the same speed as full throttle with much lower fuel use and noise.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Tohatsu 2.5 need an external tank?
