2017 Tohatsu 20 HP MFS20DEFL Outboard Motor
The Tohatsu 20hp delivers ultimate performance, exceptional fuel economy, and rock solid reliability. The 20hp is an excellent source of power for medium to larger sized aluminum fishing boats, skiffs, and inflatables as well as heavier sailboat and kicker/trolling applications.
Popular features such as forward-mounted gear shift, throttle and steering tensioners, quiet thru-prop exhaust, digital CD ignition and much more make the 20hp an exceptional value. Increased performance enhancements over the 15hp include a larger carburetor delivering that additional power you crave.
