Tohatsu MFS9.8B – 9.8HP 4-Stroke Portable Outboard Motor For Sale

The Tohatsu 9.8 outboard motor (MFS9.8B) is one of the most compelling portable outboard motors for sale in the near-10 HP class — and it makes a strong case for being the best value in its category in the entire United States. Delivering 9.8 horsepower at 5500 RPM from a proven 4-stroke powerhead at just 63 lbs with a 15″ short shaft, the MFS9.8B is lighter and more affordable than competing 9.9 HP and 10 HP portable outboards from other major brands — while delivering identical real-world performance on the water. For freshwater anglers, coastal fishermen, and recreational boaters across the country who need a capable primary motor for 14 to 17-foot aluminum fishing boats or a powerful kicker alongside a larger main engine, the MFS9.8B delivers genuine 10-class HP performance at a price point that consistently undercuts the competition.

Tohatsu’s 4-stroke architecture gives the MFS9.8B a clear advantage over 9.9 HP 2-stroke alternatives that many boaters are still running on older rigs across the country. Fuel consumption is dramatically lower, exhaust emissions are nearly eliminated, and the engine operates at a fraction of the noise level of comparable 2-strokes — making the MFS9.8B far more welcome in the no-wake zones, residential waterways, and environmentally sensitive areas that now cover a growing percentage of boating destinations nationwide. The tiller configuration means zero rigging complexity — no cable steering to install, no hydraulic system to maintain — just mount, connect the fuel line, and run.
