Tohatsu MFS30DL 30HP D-Series Manual Remote 20″ Motor
The Tohatsu MFS30DL features manual recoil starting and a 6-position manual tilt system, built for traditional remote-steered fishing rigs on a 20-inch long shaft. It weighs 58.5 kg.
- Recoil starting ensures total electrical independence
- Features 6-position manual trim adjustment
- Weighs 58.5 kg for balanced handling
- Standard 2.17:1 ratio turns larger props
The Tohatsu MFS30DL is a 30hp standard rotation outboard designed with a 20-inch shaft for multi-engine offshore boats. This 0.50-liter inline-3 platform handles offshore high-seas operation by distributing its 500 cc displacement over an optimized dry weight of 128 lbs to maximize rigidity. Crafted explicitly for shallow sterns, the 20-inch shaft length helps support complete propeller immersion and continuous bite across remote steering platforms and console skiffs navigating open ocean waters.
Sustaining high-speed cruising across offshore tournament distances is easy when running this heavy-duty powerhead within its 5500 to 6500 RPM threshold. The optimized 2.17:1 gear ratio translates internal combustion pressures into a sweeping torque curve to lift wide hulls on plane rapidly. Backed by proven Japanese engineering excellence, the propulsion platform provides mechanical consistency for captains operating far beyond standard coastal cell phone service ranges.
SOHC D Series Powerhead
Advanced single overhead camshaft engineering treats the 6-valve cylinder configurations of this inline 3-cylinder block to optimize overall thermal efficiency. This build path cuts unnecessary pounds from the powerhead block while drastically accelerating thermal dissipation under severe high-load operations.
Battery Less EFI Induction
Electronic fuel injection pushes fuel straight into the heart of each intake track for complete combustion cycles on 87 octane fuel. This automated network produces crisp throttle recovery and instant starting capability when navigating treacherous inlets or heavy head seas.
Hydrodynamic Lower Gear Housing
Oversized drive gears housed inside a hydrodynamic lower unit minimize underwater drag profiles during high-speed cruising maneuvers. This robust engineering dampens heavy gear-shift vibration while maximizing directional tracking on deep-transom multi-engine fiberglass hull configurations.
Rapid Fluid Servicing Access Point
Unimpeded maintenance access is guaranteed by a multi-piece cowling array that detaches smoothly for immediate dipstick evaluation. Slick drainage pathways isolate waste fluids to allow for quick oil changes right at the marina slips.Maintenance note: Follow the manufacturer’s service procedures and lubrication specifications for the engine and gearcase.
