Tohatsu MFS9.8B3 – 9.8HP High Thrust Outboard Motor For Sale

The 9.8 HP Tohatsu Outboard Motor (MFS9.8B3) is the high thrust variant of Tohatsu’s 9.8 HP series — and one of the most purpose-specific outboard motors for sale in the Tohatsu lineup. Where the standard MFS9.8B is optimized for speed on lighter displacement hulls, the MFS9.8B3 is re-engineered from the lower unit up to maximize static thrust at low RPM — the kind of sustained, torque-heavy pushing power needed to move heavy-displacement boats, wide-beam pontoons, loaded cabin boats, and sailboat auxiliaries through strong tidal currents, headwinds, and congested waterways. Boaters across the United States who rely on a small auxiliary engine to safely maneuver a heavy vessel in and out of tight marina slips will immediately appreciate the MFS9.8B3’s fundamentally different performance character versus a standard 9.8 HP portable outboard.

The MFS9.8B3 achieves its high thrust output with a larger-diameter, lower-pitch propeller that turns at a lower RPM—a design philosophy that sacrifices top speed for dramatically improved static and low-speed thrust. The result is an engine that feels vastly more capable than a standard 9.8 HP in the low-speed pushing situations that heavy vessels encounter daily. At 79 lbs with a 20″ long shaft and the option of tiller or remote mechanical controls, the MFS9.8B3 is built for permanent mounting on larger platforms — sailboat transoms, pontoon rails, and auxiliary motor brackets on wide-beam cabin cruisers — where consistent, dependable pushing power in all conditions is non-negotiable.
