Worked for me bro. Thanks for making this video and thanks for sharing the Amazon link of those items. Really helped.
Is your tohatsu a 2 stroke or a 4 stroke? I have seen the installation calls for wrapping the coil instead of the wire for 4 strokes.
Hi so I had the exact same problem that you had and I replaced the motor and gear but when I started it up the motor bogged down and stopped as if it was turning. It was as though the rotor that it was turning was hard to turn. Does that sound about right? What should I do?
Should be standard for all trucks to have access panel for fuel pump.
What you think of hydrofoil? Do you feel difference?
Thank you for this!
does yours has hydrofoil installed? Also what prop you used for pulling tube?
I have 20 hp tohatsu, and using it on inflatable, I have big issue, water runs over the transom into my boat at high speeds, is there any way to fix it? Also at max RPMS it was only showing 4K at most
Question please, i transport tohatsu 20hp on proper side, tiller down side, and second time oil been flooding cylinders and locking starter. Why is this happening? I mean road can be windy and different change in slope when riding my car, but its laying on proper side, by the time I come to fishing spot, theres ton of oil leaked out and motor doesn't start, so frustrating, i just bought this motor and already having issues. Any suggestions?
I don’t see the instructions for factory reset
From Japan 🇯🇵, but not China.
Helped so much cheers, same for my Mercury 6hp 4 stroke. Perfect video
When battery dies on tachometer, does it saves all the data? Or does it resets?
Thank you, can you please show us how to disconnect the negative terminal on the battery?
So would you recommend just getting combo? Instead of two separate ones?
Thank you for another great video 👏👏👏
Thank you to spend time making these amazing videos! Life saver 💵
Trolling battery in front, where is the terminals on that one? I like how its hidden, is there some kind of adapter that connects to it?
Hi, no I just have it direct wired to the battery with wing nuts so it’s easy to remove for charging. I do plan to run power from the motor at some point so it can recharge on the boat between fishing spots.
@@commonsensesolutions6662 i see, thanks
Can you show us how us tacometer installation pls
I have a video of that Tohatsu / Mercury Tach & Hour Meter czcams.com/video/k2G_aZhGY7g/video.html
From owners of this motor people say that it does not start from first try due to EFI system. Is that the case with yours? How many pulls do you need to do to start it? Sounds like Outboards with carburetors were a lot more efficient at starting these outboards Tohatsu outboards? What is your experience? My 6hp tohatsu starts with 1 pull when properly primed
Mine starts first pull, even when cold
I just picked up my boat friday having it re-powered with a new Tohatsu MSF115A and took it out today. After 15-20 minutes I was headed back in with a grinding noise coming from the motor. Got it back up on my trailer and found the installer either put a wrong size propeller on and or didn't put the Thrust Washer on the shaft. The Propeller was grinding into the lower unit and both the propeller and lower unit housing are eaten up. I am more than pissed off to the point of the fact that the motor hasn't even been broke in and such stress was put on it that I'm thinking I'm going to demand they replace the motor with a new one or replace it with another dealer and take them to Court to get my money back for the motor and install. I'm just really uneasy about letting them fix the motor as much internal stress that the grinding sounded like it was causing the motor.
Man, that sucks. I hope it all works out for you. This is a great motor.
Where did you buy this
I make them and sell them on eBay www.ebay.com/itm/256436760863?itmmeta=01HZ7YZMXN6WZCCJRYQ64H79EE&hash=item3bb4d2711f:g:bRYAAOSwBWlk-NUo&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA4JCfpsWQjYGukHwXsgfea75Qk32aJBQdbw9tZryAuiIazIZ1TsUZ3ONUwSvmg8VbY%2F2iVvCq48xOxdhFTfzDXBYo7hvepCHeCHgp1AEvoyTjeohjm9G77zoM3YtOTjlju8nx5B5xfO%2F9hldlnG7D9HZDSBhrYjORMmCIQdhm%2BWK%2BhcD9GTs0NAFqy77JMhM1dNFeHhezI50dDwm2m8HYhm0Al6rSCbVaqv%2BrV5wNVIcaAW1WxfaM7uQMNuKTf6o2SmF%2BpqLmw7Ns%2BWTgDJmxMI4sXrE2PlkzoPtYQoaFsDY2%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR_DO_v75Yw
one thing I would worry about, is the use of copper 'non-seize' grease on the outboard. The outboard is mainly aluminum alloy, with zinc anodes. Copper grease would introduce another metallic element to the situation.... I think non-seize grease is a great idea, but I would be looking for a grease that is electrically non-conductive or at least neutral acting in the corrosion process. As I am no expert, I am not able to suggest a product, but there will be something out there.
Great video. So many time I hear people talking about a key and key way and they label the terminology wrong.
Very helpful video. The Tohatsu owners manual does not discuss AT ALL how to replace the impeller?? not helpful. I feel confident now that I can replace it with your guideance. I would like to ask that you hold your camera back about a foot. I would have liked to see the entire lower unit and crankshaft. Also, hold it a little stiller would be helpful. That said, good job!
Thanks! I’ll try!
The engineer is wrong, been running outboards for 40 years and it won't be ok,
Did you ever test the speed with out the hydro foil on it’s probably a little faster I have a similar boat but mines a 1648 20 inch transom I get 24 mph with a 18 hp with a 10 p prop. With about 200 lbs of gear and myself.
No, but I think you are right. I’m sure it adds some drag.
Completely ignorant to cut a hole in your bed. Spend the money to drop the tank.
With a 20 year old truck and a plastic bed liner over it, I didn't hesitate to cut mine. Newer truck? Absolutely wouldn't do this. Rusty work truck? I ran for the angle grinder
Excellent video!!
Thanks!!
Thanks 🐟
Good to know. Not paying $300 for this easy job. Thank you for the video.
Thank you for this video
You are a life saver! All the videos i watched and info I have read, I have never once saw a weather jacket mentioned! Your Awsome!
Thanks!!
Does your motor have tilt and trim ?
No, I didn’t want the added weight. But it sure would be nice to have!
There should be another fuse on the motor I believe, one is a 20amp and one is a 15amp according to parts diagram
Best video on the subject I've found, great job. That angle grinder looks like a first generation, first week of business Harbor Freight item. Dad has one like it still turning..
Yes! It’s an old one for sure! Still works.
Great video...how do you reinstall window crank clip
Needle nose pliers or just hold it in place and press it back in with the tip of a screwdriver
Thank you,main is Mercury efi 20hp but they are the same.
Yes, Same motors. Very well made
Thank you Sir.
Nice to know what model boat and speed are you getting out of that 20 hp and is the jack plate helping any?
Jack plate helps for sure. I have the motor raised up to where the plate is perfectly even with the bottom of the boat. It was slower when above or below this position. People have different opinions on the optimal position but this always seems to work best on all my boats.
What about a noisy chorus or flanger? Specifically a wind noise underneath the effect. Still trying to understand if it really is the caps or the chips as well... And in the case of the caps, can I replace the old electrolytic one for a non-polarized film cap?
Perhaps one of the other filter caps. No, electrolytic will work best due to their filtering properties. Try caps first. They are easy and cheap.
@@commonsensesolutions6662 thanks a lot 🙂
I had the same concern. I'm relieved thanks to you, my friend. It's a nice experience and thank you so much for sharing it.
Thank you!
Haven't checked mine in a few years. Maybe I'll check it this week.
great i,mgoing to do it your way was starting to take bed off cant spray bolts 1st on turns 2 came out 3 broke 4 iffy drivers side from back 1 out 2 broke 3 keeps turning 4th time to close my shop door now i,ll get my bioascope and re measure i thankyou very much everone one shoud to you way if you mess up cutting get a bigger piece of metal i will caulk rubber mat also dont have a mat use undercaoting looks good . so do in morning...................
How did it work out?
Oh man… you just saved me A$$. I was just about to run it with the hose attachment… I brought out the “ear muff” water attachment instead. Mine is fresh water only but, I fire it up with non ethanol fuel every month as it’s only used in July and august.
Thanks so much for the video. Changed mine on a 2003 Silverado regular cab and the measurements worked out perfectly. My ring was rusted and stuck, but after soaking in wd-40 for a while i got it loose and replaced it, too. Screwed down the door, a little silicone and perfect! I'm not a mechanic by any means, but I had 1 to 2 hours in the whole project from start to finish, spent most of the time trying to get the ring off. Thank you, thank you, thank you! For $150 I did it myself! My local mechanic wanted $800 (in Indiana) and $150 to tow the truck 3 miles to his shop. Hey man, thanks again!!!👍👍
Glad it helped! $800!!!
What about rust
I ended up spraying with some white rustoleum just in case.
I got Tohatsu 30hp 2022 year of manufacture. The instruction manual says not to run the engine when using the hose connection. Flush with engine running must be with the lower unit in a water butt / tank .
Nice. I'll tell my neighbor when I see him, he's always working on the the thing.
