Under the  MFS40A sign

The new outboards have been developed starting from the MFS40/50A units introduced last year, so they feature the new and captivating look and a cowling with an additional gasket to insulate the engine from water. On the smaller ones some mechanical parts of the reverse gear have been changed to improve reliability and there’s a new, more effective system to reduce noise and vibrations.

The three cylinder units feature more new details. Beside the mentioned cowling, there’s a new final ratio (26:12 or 2.17) optimized for larger propellers, with positive consequences on speed and consumption. The MFS25/30C also see the introduction of an idle regulator: it can be set on three levels (850, 950, 1050 rpm) using the start key and it’s ideal for trawling. More, TOCS has been mounted: Tohatsu Onboard Communication System allows to easily connect with the instrumentation gauges and with any screen compatible with NMEA2000 protocols.
