MFS140AW

Technology

Our recently introduced line-up of MFS75-115A has expanded to 140 horsepower. With a dynamic design and sophisticated details, the MFS140AW provides outstanding torque, increased durability, optimized weight and smooth operation.

Unique and industry-first 4-2-1 Performance Tuned Exhaust manifold has been designed to maximize low end torque and acceleration performance. Best in class torque to displacement ratio creates excellent performance for all styles of boats from light to heavy weight, pleasure or commercial use. On certain boat applications, the MFS140A will perform similarly when compared to heavier 150 horsepower outboards that weigh as much as 45 kg more.

Engineered with Simpliq™ Technology, the MFS140AW has a SOHC-4V design. The spark plugs are strategically placed in the center of each combustion chamber for the most efficient combustion with optimal heat conduction, which results in strong running and fuel efficiency.
  4-2-1 Performance Tuned Exhaust, provides incomparable torque throughout the RPM range. The higher torque you have the better hole shot, which translates to faster speeds. Higher torque also means less drag, which in turn means more boating options; it could be applied to any type of boat. From light to heavy, pleasure or commercial boats.

The synergy between the 4-2-1 Performance Tuned Exhaust and our fine-tuned ECU programming, MFS140 provides a strong acceleration when needed in order to get the boat on plane quicker and allowing you to reach the top end speed faster.

Equipped with standard features such as Variable Idle System allowing you to change the idle speed from 650 to 850 RPMs, a low gear ratio (2.08:1) giving you the increased low end torque your boat needs, a fresh-water Flushing System designed to make routine flushing easier, and a High Output 41 amp Alternator, the MFS140 provides the industry leading features you expect from Tohatsu.

Features

4-2-1 Performance Tuned Exhaust

Isometric aggregated exhaust manifold "4-2-1 Performance Tuned Exhaust" maximizes torque and acceleration performance.
This unique design is an industry-first and can only be found on Tohatsu Outboards.
By engineering each exhaust passage to be equal in length, the merging of exhaust of each cylinder creates extra suction that
helps pull the exhaust from the engine. This completely eliminates the possibility of exhaust interference and drastically improves
the performance.

Outstanding Torque

Industry first 4-2-1 Performance Tuned Exhaust system provides outstanding torque performance, top end speed, acceleration
and exceptional fuel economy. On certain boat applications, the MFS140AW will perform similarly when compared to heavier 150hp
outboards that weigh as much as 45 kg more.

Superior Durability & Optimized Weight

For high durability and weight reduction purposes, Tohatsu optimized each relatively heavy component such as cylinder head,
exhaust manifold, engine base, oil pan, lower unit etc.. Also, special anodized process has been utilized on all major aluminum
components for prolonged engine life.

Excellent Fuel Efficiency

MFS140A has the most unique SOHC-4V design in its class where competitors are either SOHC-2V or DOHC-4V. Spark plugs are strategically placed in the center of the each combustion chamber for the most efficient combustion with optimal heat conduction which results in strong running and fuel efficiency.

Quietness

With the even-length Intake Manifold, 4-2-1 Performance Tuned Exhaust, and fine-tuned ECU, MFS140AW provide exhilarating and performance-inspired engine sound. Also within the large capacity Idle Port, sounds reflect off each other to dampen the exhaust flow which contributes to the lowest sound at idle.

Maneuverability

With its fined-tuned ECU programming, MFS140AW is designed to improve acceleration when needed in order to get the boat to plane quicker. When you throttle to wide open, the ECU recognizes it and ignites in all four cylinders at the same time. Simultaneously, the ECU optimizes and supplies adequate air & fuel which makes air/fuel mixture more suitable for rapid acceleration to generate higher torque. The higher the torque you have, the stronger the acceleration you will get, resulting in enhanced hole shots and thus, quicker planning.  Also, Upper and Lower Mounts, and the Gear Case are optimized for direct steering response & maneuverability, and greater stability.

Multi-Function Tiller Handle with Grip-End PTT Switch

Multi-Function Tiller Handle is a great choice for commercial use. It has an ergonomically designed large Shift Lever located at the front and a longer Throttle Grip with a PTT (Power Trim & Tilt) switch located at the grip-end for easier operation and maneuverability. To balance different wind and current conditions, the Variable Idling System allows the user to select the best idling speed from 5 different RPM ranges by simply pressing the Key Switch.

TOCS 4.3 inch LCD Display (optional)

The TOCS (Tohatsu Onboard Communication System) 4.3 inch LCD Display connects to the CAN bus and communicates directly with the engine's ECU. Engine data, fault codes, and alarms are displayed on the LCD display
