    Tohatsu 4hp fuel selector switch stuck

    Another seller just popped up with a 2002 Tohatsu NSF6A2 4hp 4-stroke that is listed for $390 (and he said he's lowering it by $50 each week but that seems like a pretty good price right out of the gates). Said it was recently overhauled, whatever that means. So I asked for more info and a video.

    Tohatsu 4hp fuel selector switch stuck

    I'm assuming these are the appropriate parts for the upgrade if I wanted to get them for cheaper? Carb - https://www.ebay.com/itm/134122242625 or https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0B6RCS55W 12 spline prop - https://www.ebay.com/itm/404163308638 or https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09QM9VMZC...

    Tohatsu 4hp fuel selector switch stuck

    Thanks! He wants $400 for the motor. And optionally +$100 for the 6hp kit (carb + prop... Although it seems I could buy each of those individually for around $30-40 off ebay and save some money if I really wanted those) BTW, suggestions/feedback someone else on another forum: "The 'real' test...

    Tohatsu 4hp fuel selector switch stuck

    He said he had it flushed and service at the end of each season but who knows. He sent pics of the valve, model/serial # and a video of the motor running. The valve does look corroded. The video sounds ok but i wouldnt know what to listen for specifically if there are issues. Its the MFS4BD with...

    Tohatsu 4hp fuel selector switch stuck

    Hi all, I'm considering purchasing a 4hp Tohatsu off CL. The guy selling it said the fuel selector switch is frozen/stuck and so he has only used it with an the external tank. I figure this probably isn't a huge deal but was curious if it's an easy fix and what is involved. I have no prior...

    CA DMV Registration of Inflatable boat and motor (outboard and/or trolling)?

    I called AAA and not sure that they told me the right thing, namely that I cannot register boats at AAA and can only do it at DMV. I've read elsewhere online (particulary bdoutdoors) that you *can* register boats at AAA hahaha. I guess the best way to find out is just to go to one and see if...

    4-stroke 4hp Mercury 2003 outboard?

    https://www.amazon.com/Inflatable-Boat-persons-Fishing-poonton/dp/B06X9TV4N5 It's a 'hybrid' shaped boat that has a slimmer profile (similar to that of a kayak) compared to normal Zodiacs/inflatables/ribs . There are a *few* guys down here who run them offshore... those guys have big balls...

    4-stroke 4hp Mercury 2003 outboard?

    No plans to take it offshore - I'd be staying close to the harbor and coast if anything... maybe on a day where the ocean is a glassy lake but otherwise no hahaha. In terms of these Kaboats, I think I've seen people running 10-15hp outboards on them. Is 10hp the minimum you'd run with if...

    4-stroke 4hp Mercury 2003 outboard?

    Hey all, I'm eyeing a 4-stroke 4hp Mercury 2003 outboard for my Bris Kaboat and was wondering if anyone has any thoughts, feedback, experiences, advice regarding this motor (or even in general)? I'm in SoCal and was looking to do both beach launches (La Jolla) but also boat ramp launches - not...

    CA DMV Registration of Inflatable boat and motor (outboard and/or trolling)?

    Hi all, I have a Kaboat style boat that I'm looking to register. Have a 55lb thrust trolling motor for it and may be considering a small 2-4hp outboard as well. The boat came with the certificate of origin but I seemed to have misplaced it. I'm assuming I need the certificate of origin and...

    What kind of glue/cement for attaching fin boxes to PVC skirt?

    Thanks! I noticed the float tube and inflatable I have come with the orange tube with patches and cement glue - should I avoid using that stuff or any "one-shot" kind of mixture and definitely go with the 2-part stuff? For the 2-part do you mix it together (like epoxy) and then apply?

    What kind of glue/cement for attaching fin boxes to PVC skirt?

    Hi all, Was curious what the best kind of glue or cement is that I should use when attaching a fin box to the PVC skirt (shiny non-inflated/non-inflatable portion) of an inflatable kaboat type boat or float tube. This is for mounting one of those SUP type motors (like a Bixpy).
