SMART TECHNOLOGY

Tubular air-intake
The tubular structure of the air-intake, originally developed by Tohatsu, helps to take in necessary airflow to the engine while preventing water from entering into the motor cover.

20 / 15 / 9.8 / 8

Air-silencer system
Our air-intake system has a large volume air silencer to ensure engine starting and to suppress air-intake noise during engine operation.

6 / 5 / 4 / 3.5 / 2.5

Propeller hub exhaust
Through-the-prop exhaust is used to achieve nice, quiet running conditions. <6/5/4>

Tuned intake manifold

The tuned intake manifold provides increased low & mid speed torque and quieter operation.
Wide anti-cavitation plate with trim tab

Throttle grip

The wide anti-cavitation plate effectively restrains the propeller from cavitating. The large trim tab helps to achieve effortless steering at high speeds while also providing corrosion protection.
The twist type throttle control provides quick steering as well as one-handed operation capability.

Engine control unit

Integral tank Front shift
The 16 bit ECU precisely controls the fuel injection and ignition timing for 4-stroke engines.
The shift lever is located on the front of the motor for easier operation.
With a built-in fuel tank conveniently located on top, 3.5 and 2.5 becomes ready for cruising quickly and without taking up extra space in the boat. An external fuel fitting also comes standard with the 4hp model to allow the motor to hook up to a remote fuel tank as well.
Battery-less electronic fuel injection
Simple steering friction lever
Tohatsu uses the highest quality components to provide boaters with a high performance, long-lasting and reliable engine. That's why many resorts power their fleet with the Tohatsu brand.
The industry's first battery-less electronically controlled fuel injection provides quick throttle response, excellent fuel economy, and very smooth rides on the water.
The steering friction lever, located at the front of the motor, allows the steering friction to be adjusted for both steady running at high speed and easier maneuvering while trolling. (tiller model only) <20/15/9.8/8>
Four point dampening system
The specifically designed motor dampening system reduces vibration at all rpm ranges. <3.5/2.5>

Camouflage

Tohatsu's NEW 20hp Sportsman's model is a great choice for avid hunting & sporting enthusiasts. Unlike other motors that use camouflage decals, this limited edition motor is decorated with the industry's leading waterfowl pattern, Mossy Oak Duck Blind camouflage, using a unique patented paint dipping process that bonds the design to the motor. Combined with a harvest brown lower unit, the Tohatsu Sportsman's Edition 20hp will put you in full stealth mode.
