    Tohatsu 2004 40hp question?

    Hi Everyone! I'll have had this motor 3 years in December. Overall it has been great, starts awesome and typically runs smooth and quiet. It has always had a problem at trolling speeds where it seems to drop a cylinder and shake or vibrate really bad. Also possibly related it will foul a...

    Tohatsu 40hp question......

    I have a 2004 model 3-cyl 40hp tiller that I bought new off of an internet site in Louisiana almost 2 years ago. It has a couple of annoying problems that are probably related.<br /><br />The first is the idle. Out of gear it is as smooth as glass, in gear with a little load on the prop it is...

    I have a tiller steer 40hp tohatsu on a jonboat that I'm trying to get the prop just right on. To make a long story short I need to install a temperary tach to measure my wot rpm's.

    New Tohatsu 40hp, missing/rough idle in gear

    Every since the day I took it out of the box the motor has run awesome above idle, the idle in neutral has been fine but as soon as you put it in gear it seems like it is running on 1 or 2 cylinders. Every few seconds or so it will smooth up but then start missing again. At first I passed it on...

    Tohatsu 40hp, Bent prop shaft?

    I bought a new 40 tiller last December and a few weeks ago wacked something with my prop. It kind of curled one of the blades under a little and I didn't really think much about it. I had put a Solas prop on it which is the one that got dinged so I put the original back on. I didn't notice any...

    Tohatsu 40hp...what size & brand props is.....

    everyone running? I just bought one of these engines for my 1552 jon boat. I believe the prop that comes with it is a 12 pitch which should work good for breaking it in and for heavy loads. Seems like it would probably not be enough pitch for a boat like mine so I went a head and got a 13 pitch...

    To PT&T or not on a small boat

    My boat is just a 15' semi-vee jonboat and my question is this, Is PT&T really worth it for this type of boat? I realise it would be nice in shallow water but shallow water drive does the same purpose. But will it really allow a higher cruise speed on this type of boat? I'm thinking this boat...
