Pioneering the outboard

1922, Tohatsu launched the research and development of small gasoline powered engines for the first time in Japan. Since then, Tohatsu engines have been adapted into various products such as motorcycles, snow vehicles, and water pumps, as well as outboard motors, and used successfully all around the world.

Tohatsu manufacturers some of the world’s most powerful, reliable and durable outboards available. Our top priority is to make products that will measure up to the standards of our toughest critics; our customers! Tohatsu will go forward into the 21st century and continue the pursuit and development of superior, environmentally conscious outboards that meet the needs of boaters everywhere.

Delivering Reliability

At Tohatsu, we believe we make the world’s most reliable outboard. Here’s why:

Every Tohatsu is tested before it leaves the factory. Not spot checked, but water tank tested. For many years, Tohatsu outboards have been hailed as the most reliable outboards by experts – from marine editors highly respected for their knowledge of the entire industry to experienced mechanics who work on multiple brands.

Our new technology Direct Injection TLDI outboards use the same basic engine that’s been proven in millions of hours of use in every kind of condition – we’ve just changed the way air and fuel are delivered to make these outboards even more efficient. No technology is incorporated and put on the market until we are convinced that it is ready to deliver the same reliability that Tohatsu is famous for.

Tohatsu dealers and their service people are among the most knowledgeable in the entire industry. Tohatsu has been making outboards since 1956, and over the past 48 years they’ve come to be recognised for their reliability in over 120 countries around the world, from the US to Finland to Argentina, From Morocco to Indonesia to Australia.

In fact, Tohatsu is one of the world’s largest manufacturers of outboards.

The most important reason to buy an outboard is reliability. And no one delivers reliability like Tohatsu!
