The Tohatsu 30HP 4-Stroke Outboard Engine (Short Shaft) is a compact, fuel-efficient engine designed for smaller boats and shallow transoms. Featuring a DOHC 3-cylinder engine with EFI technology, it delivers smooth acceleration, low vibration, and reliable performance for both freshwater and coastal boating.
Description
The Tohatsu 30HP Short Shaft 4-Stroke Outboard combines efficiency, reliability, and compact design. Its 547cc DOHC 3-cylinder engine provides smooth operation, minimal vibration, and consistent throttle response, while the Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) system ensures precise fuel delivery, optimal performance, and reduced fuel consumption.
With a 15” (381 mm) short shaft, this engine is ideal for smaller boats or those with shallow transoms, offering proper propeller immersion and stable handling. It features electric start, power trim and tilt, and compatibility with remote control or tiller steering, making it easy to operate and manoeuvre.
Engineered for durability, the Tohatsu 30HP includes stainless steel components, corrosion protection, and a reliable water-cooling system, suitable for both freshwater and saltwater environments. Its high-output alternator powers onboard electronics such as lighting, navigation, and additional accessories.
