8HP Engine

The Tohatsu 8 hp was one of the first outboards to give Tohatsu the well-deserved reputation of “Low-weight winner!”

Why is this important? If you use the 8 hp for your sailboat, inflatable or other small craft and have to lift and lower your motor several times a day, you'll appreciate the considerably less weight you have to deal with each time!

At just under 60 lbs., the 8 hp gives you exceptional power without breaking your back.
