- Transported 20HP efi, as usual, except that this time I tilted propeller slightly while it was laying on its proper side trying to make space of the trunk, what happened was that when I launched, motor wouldn't start with electrical push start, so I tried manually pull it and it locked up completely, long story short, cylinders got flodded when that propeller was slightly elevated, so I unscrewed spark plugs, drained oil, clean spark plugs, manual start got unlocked right away, and started with no issues with electric start. You can see after effect of all the oil smoking.

Glad you got it sorted how easy do you find moving that thing around? My 30hp is a bit heavy so i just had them bolt it to the transom and got a trailer 😅
Thank you. It's definitely on a heavier side, but it's doable. I transport it in trunk, but trailer is ideal, one negative thing about trailer is that traveling speed is limited, so if you're traveling 2-3hrs, itll take you much longer to get to your destination
Hey you are not supposed to run these new motors through that port. That port is to flush with engine off only. You’re absolutely destroying your water pump I promise
@@justtoysociety8990 per tohatsu manual, you can run it on idle
I bought a 30hp tohatsu efi a few months ago menu and the dealer said it OK to run on idle
