Tohatsu MFS 60

[25Johnny]

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 Chesapeake Bay area. I checked the specs on the multi-function tiller compared to the Merc Big Tiller, and the length is pretty close. HOWEVER, the location of the PTT button is in a bad location. Do the new models move it out to the end of the grip? This is the 3rd year for this model, anyone have any vibes on performance compared to say a Suzuki? That's the only other 60 out there. Thanks guys!

The MFS60 is a great motor. I have installed a couple of them. They are very quiet with roller lifters, and the throttle response is crisp. They are also light weight. I don't believe the TT switch has been relocated, but you could certainly add one wherever you like.
