Tohatsu has a new color! We are proud to introduce a new color and new graphics for 2006. All Tohatsu outboards are now available in Aquamarine blue with the Tohatsu logo and a royal blue design element prominently displayed on each side. Each outboard goes through a 6-step paint process in our new Komagane, Japan factory which now includes a clear coat of acrylic resin to provide additional protection.

All new for 2006, Tohatsu will be offering a 115 direct-injected TLDI® model. Along with its uniquely designed cowling that provides quiet operation, the 115 TLDI® has all of the benefits of our other TLDI® models such as excellent fuel economy, light weight, and superior power. This model will be Tohatsu’s flagship TLDI® model for 2006 and will be available by Summer 2006.

The new 2 and 3.5 hp four-strokes will replace the 2.5 and 3.5 two-stroke models. These small, peppy four-strokes have twist grip throttle for easy, one-handed operation and 360° steering for easy turning and maneuverability. The patented powerhead design has been tilted 15° to the right in order to create a compact upper cowling. These models will be available Spring 2006.

The 25 and 30 hp four-strokes have incorporated EFI (Electronic Fuel Injection) technology into all model offerings for 2006. Tohatsu offers the industry’s first battery-less electronically controlled fuel injection system. The EFI system provides quick throttle response, smooth rides on the water, and exceptional fuel economy.

The 8 and 9.8 four-stroke have also been improved for 2006. These models now feature a front mounted gear shift for easier access to the shift lever.
