Tohatsu’s first priority when developing these engines was to make them lightweight and compact without compromising reliability or the quality performance associated with the Tohatsu brand name. They have maintained the durable standard features that Tohatsu owners appreciate while making fuel efficient 4-strokes that are easy to transport. The 20 hp, 15 hp, 9.8 hp, 8 hp, 6 hp, 5 hp, 4 hp, 3.5 hp and 2.5 hp outboard are all lightweight and compact 4-strokes, with exceptional performance. These compact, fuel efficient outboard engines have been manufactured to comply with all US EPA and CARB 3-star Ultra-Low emission regulations and are backed by a 5 year limited warranty. And Nautical Ventures is your Tohatsu 4-Stroke headquarters when it comes to all your engine needs. Repower… Warranty… and Service. Here what we like about the new 4-Stroke Portable Tohatsu model: 

Tohatsu 9.8 hp 4-Stroke Benefits: Unmatched in its class, the Tohatsu 9.8 hp 4-stroke has set the standard in portable outboard power! This lightweight motor weighs in at barely over the 80 lb mark and has undeniable characteristics of a true marine champion. The 9.8hp outboard is skinny on fuel and big on power while never compromising performance or reliability. It has a ton of features that are usually only found on larger, more expensive outboards. They pack a lot of punch for the buck in this truly unique outboard! In the 10 hp/9.9 hp category, Tohatsu has once again proven itself the leader of the pack with this 9.8 hp 4-stroke. 9.8hp Power Tilt Models Now Available! Tohatsu’s 9.8 hp has a new option. Power Tilt! That’s right, the award winning 9.8hp engines have an added feature that sets it miles apart from the competition.
