The table lists 23 outboards rated at 20 HP in the Meridianpart catalog: 10 from Suzuki and 13 from Tohatsu. Shaft length, controls, starting and tilt come from the manufacturers’ own specifications: Tohatsu MFS20E specifications and Suzuki DF20A specifications. Where the manufacturer does not publish a value for that exact model code, the cell says “Ask us”; contact Meridianpart with the full model code before ordering. Product photos show the motor family and may not show the exact shaft length or equipment.

Before choosing a motor
Check the boat’s horsepower limit and measure the transom before choosing shaft length. Tohatsu’s FAQ says to measure from the top of the transom to the bottom of the keel: 15 to 17 inches suits a short shaft and 20 to 22 inches a long shaft. It also notes that some Tohatsu shafts run 2 inches longer than the standard figure, so confirm the exact model with us. Match steering to your existing helm or tiller setup, and ask which controls and installation equipment are supplied.
