PORTABLE

Our first priority when developing these 8 hp engines was to make them lightweight and compact without compromising reliability or the quality performance associated with the Tohatsu brand name.

We have maintained the durable standard features that Tohatsu owners appreciate while making fuel-efficient 4-strokes that are easy to transport.

These 8hp outboards are compact 2-cylinder, SOHC engines that have been manufactured to comply with all US EPA & CARB 3-star rating emission regulations.

Fundamentals for User Convenience and Reliability

  • Through-the-prop exhaust for a quieter ride
  • Thermostatically controlled cooling system for consistent engine temperature
  • Stainless steel water pump housing liner for outstanding durability
  • High grade marine aluminum alloy that provides the ultimate protection against corrosion
  • Zinc coating on internal water passages for superior corrosion resistance
  • 3.1 Gallon (12 liter) fuel tank includes fuel fittings and fuel line (tiller models)
  • Aluminum propeller

Protection

  • Low oil pressure warning (visual and audible**)

FEATURES

Front Shift

The shift lever is located on the front of the motor for easier operation.

Air-Intake System

Our air-intake system has a large volume air silencer to ensure engine starting and to suppress air-intake noise during engine operation.

Wide Anti-Cavitation Plate with Trim Tab

The wide anti-cavitation plate effectively restrains the propeller from cavitating. The large trim tab helps to achieve effortless steering at high speeds while also providing corrosion protection.
