The Tohatsu M3.5A2 is a technologically
uncomplicated yet highly effective outboard that distinguishes itself
through its lightweight and portable design. Weighing as little as 27.5
lbs, it offers boaters an incredible power-to-weight ratio, making it
one of the most convenient motors for transport and storage. Its
engineering focus is on reliability and user convenience, highlighted by
the loop-charged induction system for smooth operation and fuel economy,
and a CD ignition system for quick and easy starts.
Users benefit from a simple tiller control with forward and neutral
gears. The engine is engineered for durability in marine environments,
incorporating high-grade marine aluminum alloy and zinc coating on
internal water passages for superior corrosion resistance, making it a
reliable and clean-operating powerplant for small boat applications.
