    Tohatsu 6hp still not broke in having carb issues?

    So the standard prop only achived 5500 wot revs at max throttle, right ? If so there's a 350 wot rpm difference between both 6 props. Interesting to see that an ear elephant prop besides powering much better also achieved a higher wot rpm. Anything entangled on the prop will slow the wot rpm...

    amateurism of a new sailor :)

    Float the boat, start the motor and check if peeing strong, 5-10 secs max it's not a big deal. My boating club which runs a Suzy 40 HP tests the motor dry as stated, nothing has happened to the impeller last time it was checked.... Happy Boating

    No water flow at low RPM

    Does the motor pees with a good water pressure at middle to max throttle ? How do you know the motor is overheating, does it have a temp sensor that triggers the slow mode, red light whatever ? What's the thermo condition, remove it and check if rusty, salted ? With motor On insert a plastic...

    Cylinder Compression Incongruences.-

    Hurrah, the needed spare pare for the full restoration arrived yesterday, thanks UPS. After a close crankshaft inspection the connecting rods (1) was found with a strange yellowish color compared to the second one (2) seems there's been a slight overheating going on not to the point to screw...

    2013 Yamaha 25hp 4 stroke running hot

    Does the motor triggers an overheat alarm and reduces the rpm to minimum to know it's overheating ? If the impeller or the complete water pump and thermostat has been replaced for new and the motor overheats one option is to flush the crankcase with Salt Away, follow instructions. Motors should...

    Boat not getting up to speed

    That 60 HP motor is way sick to run at just 7 MPH. For instance my 450 Mtr Rib with a max load of 1,100 Lbs powered with a 2 stroke Tohatsu L shaft 18 HP runs 22 Knots/hour. Motor height, trim, correct deck load distribution accounts also for a crappy speed.That size combo powered with a healthy...

    Is there a better gear oil pump out there?

    Get a large metal syringe with a thick needle, fill it with gear lube and squirt through the upper hole, there must be a gap between the needle and plug circumference for air to get in and fill the entire gear case, keep squirting new lube till exits the upper hole. Happy Boating

    Honda bf50 spark and carb issues

    NS, I'm not saying that need to tear the whole crankcase in pieces, what's ideal to do as a preventive internal maintenance is to remove the cylinder head, exhaust cover if having one clean all the filth such as salt layers, salt crusts, rust collected on the entire water passages to pristine...

    Honda bf50 spark and carb issues

    If you flush the motor on muffs with poor water pressure, the lower water intake located under the AV plate must be tapped dry well before the motor is turned ON. Can use Duck Tape which has an extremely sticky surface to hold well... Happy Boating

    Honda bf50 spark and carb issues

    If you found huge oxidation, salt crusts inside the thermo housing, expect to find same on all water passages specially being a salt water motor. Have you ever teared the whole crankcase to expose all the water passages since out of the box ? Happy Boating

    Tohatsu m70a water pipe

    Good to know the motor seizure was solved, seems was an overheat condition. Next time remove plugs, lock motor fully up, squirt a small amout of (25:1) stroke oil/fuel ratio into each cilinder, let penetrate, wiggle flywheel back and forth in small increments to lube piston and rings, don't...
