Tohatsu MFS8B – 8HP 4-Stroke Portable Outboard Motor For Sale

The Tohatsu 8 HP outboard motor (MFS8B) occupies an important and often overlooked position in the portable outboard market — and it is one of the best 8 HP outboard motors for sale in the United States in terms of power-to-weight ratio and value. At just 57 lbs with a 15″ short shaft, the MFS8B delivers 8 horsepower at 5500 RPM in a package that weighs only 2 lbs more than the 6 HP MFS6C — making it one of the most weight-efficient jumps in horsepower available in the portable outboard category anywhere in the country. For boaters who run inflatable rescue dinghies, aluminum fishing boats, and light flat-bottomed skiffs and need a primary motor that can genuinely push a full load at speed, the MFS8B provides a decisive performance advantage over 6 HP alternatives without the penalty of significantly heavier weight.

Tohatsu’s 4-stroke combustion on the MFS8B delivers clean, fuel-efficient power with no oil premixing and near-silent operation at idle and cruise — critical advantages for boaters who fish in restricted or environmentally sensitive waterways across the USA. The extra horsepower of the MFS8B over the MFS6C is immediately felt at the throttle — stronger hole shots under load, better ability to maintain speed in a headwind, and more reserve power for handling current changes mid-river or inlet. The tiller steering configuration keeps the engine simple to operate and maintain, with no cable routing, no steering hardware, and no hydraulic components to service.
