TOHATSU

[standup]

Looking at a new with the works tohatsu 30 hp tiller. They aren't a reclothed merc anymore. So I'm told. Anyone know about their quality?

Tohatsu builds small motors for Mercury.

Buy it and then you can be the first to write up a full report on it !

I bought a 25 4 stroke brand new in 2012 for my pontoon.
I haven't had any issues whatsoever, still running like a top.
I understood that they made motors for Mercury as well.

I'm told they had a relationship with merc till late 014, but not now

Can you get parts?

From what I understand they were supplying the motors to merc so if merc got out of the relationship it really has no effect on tohatso.
I'm up north this week. I'll check with my marina who sells tohatsu and ask about parts.

Dealer sells tohat, yam, and one other I can't remember. He says out of the 3 the tohat is what he'll stay with if he ever picks just one. Say's yam can't be talked to. I know that personally. Says tohat is good. Why are most outboard comps talking about water pump change each year? Are they nucking futs?

Rented a 15hp from a lodge for a week. It worked fine for me, although it did idle very fast. I am sure this can be adjusted, however I wasnt about to play around with a rental motor. The lodge owner lovers them, says very reliable.

My understanding is they currently have an agreement with Evinrude, although that could be wrong.

How I here it is that tohatsu and nissan are in bed now. That's what I worry about. My 20 merc just barely gets me to troll. And by that I'm not even talking a nice slow trout troll. So even though this thing runs smoother with a third cylinder is my troll speed not going to be more if for no other reason that bigger/higher pitch prop moves more water?
It's fun to have all that up top speed, but do I lose my bottom. Secondly my big boats that had power tilt meant that you didn't dare hit a rock cause they wouldn't do the old auto flip up. Would that not be true also of this 30 if power tilt?
