Twatsoo 40hp->60hp

[Dankoozy]

It would appear as though the MFS40A is the same engine as a MFS60A so does anyone know how feasible it is to convert? There's a whole €1,500 of a difference so obviously that money is better in my pocket than in that of a fat guy with a big black Mercedes

Check out the parts diagrams yourself. Available here under the download sections for both models. https://www.tohatsu.de/en/outboards/four-stroke

Interestingly, the 3 fuel injectors are the same but the intake manifolds are different, but a lot of parts are the same, I suspect with model variations codes on identical parts.

The MF60A is new engine and comes with a 7-year Tohatsu warranty so spend the additional €1,500, knowing that if you come to sell it - it has history and a paperwork trail which future buyers will pay a premium for.

Incidentally, the ECU assemblies are different. I can't even find a price for the ECU on the MFS60A given it's a 2020 model. The MFS40A and MFS50A ones are in the region of $950.

I don't see any savings to be made.
