Tohatsu's Story

The boat is a kindred spirit to the sea, the river, and the lake. Boats immerse you in nature and navigate you to unforgettable experiences. And the outboard motor helps make all of this possible.

Outboard motors are about a whole lot more than just the specs. A truly great motor delivers it all—performance, safety, and the ultimate ease of use. That’s why we never stop asking ourselves the essential questions about what makes a great engine. We’ve been doing that since 1922, when aviation engineer Masuzo Takata founded Tohatsu.

Time and again, Tohatsu innovations have made waves that change the world.

Take, for example, the Tohatsu motorcycle, which dominated the industry with its compact engine. Or Tohatsu outboard motors, built with our one-of-a-kind direct injection technology, which has revolutionized environmental performance.

We are uncompromising in our pursuit of outboard motors that are both durable and as light as possible. We pursue the ultimate in quality to deliver an inspirational engine experience. This is our unwavering promise: to deliver a more refined and stimulating boating experience.

See it. Hear it. Feel the Wind.

20HP

20hp Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) is a great choice for a wide variety of boaters. Just because it is lighter in weight than our previous 20hp four stroke, doesn’t mean this model won’t deliver the same level of performance. It's electronic fuel injection four stroke has exceptional torque and top end speed, with low vibration. Tohatsu chose to build an EFI outboard because it has easy startup with no choke required and smooth, crisp acceleration throughout all RPM ranges.
