    2020 MFS20E Oil change..

    After I change oil, I'm getting a high reading on dipstick, about 1/8" over the upper hash mark. I check after a cool down after running the engine to fill the filter. The engine is mounted to the boat and I put a level on the ventilation plate to be sure the engine is level. Is this the...

    2020 MFS 20E EFTS stumbles, stalls coming off WOT

    22 hrs on engine. If I gradually decrease the throttle, no problem. But coming off plane at WOT, or close to it, engine sputters and or/stalls and CEL comes on. The only way to make it go off is to stop engine and restart; runs perfect after that. Dealer is about 2-hrs away, if this is...

    Tohatsu MFS 60

    I have the MFS 20 and really like it on the 14' Mirrocraft. Thinking of stepping up to a 16' Starcraft and pushing it with a MFS60 mounted on a Atlas Mini-Jack plate. I see some reports from a few micro skiff guys down south using them, but they are not making much of an impact in the...

    My sons' 50HP Yam has a rattle under the flywheel at low RPM. Seems to fade as throttle increases. Is there something loose on the flywheel?

    2020 Tohatsu 20EEFTS

    Looking for FSM. On the Tohatsu web site I don't see it for the 20E only 20C. I believe they've been making the 20E since 2018. I'm surprised there isn't a manual or I'm missing something guys? Thanks...

    2020 mfs20eefts

    Just ordered this motor. Been reading the manual online. Are there instruction videos for 20hr valve and timing checks? Don't have a dealer nearby and wondering if a DIY can be done. Also, impeller replacement is every 50-hrs or 3-months. That seems a little excessive, but this is my first...
