    Can you change a Tohatsu 9.9 hp to 20 hp?

    I was surfing the ‘net and the website www.readysetboat.com has a kit that they claim converts the 9.9 Tohatsu to a 20 hp. It consists of a carburetor and a propellor. They don’t say anything about changing the ecu or restrictor plate. Is this legit?

    Can you change a Tohatsu 9.9 hp to 20 hp?

    Reason I don’t want to sell is that the majority of my fishing is on a 9.9 hp restricted lake. I want to fish other, non hp restricted lakes. The 20 hp would allow me to do this.

    Can you change a Tohatsu 9.9 hp to 20 hp?

    I’ve got a 3 yr old Tohatsu 9.9 hp outboard, and would like to get more speed. I’ve heard that a simple carb change can increase the motor to 20 hp. Is this correct? If so, about how much speed increase would I get on my 16 ft. flat bottom? Now, it goes about 12 mph tops When I’m alone.

    9.8 hp Tohatsu smokes on startup

    I finally took it out of the lake! It’s a 10 yr. old NSF9.8A3. I ran a compression test, and it’s got 125 psi on both cylinders. However, the plugs look oily. I changed them several years ago, but the motor hasn’t been used much. The oil level is ok, on the lower half of the stick. Was...

    My 9.8 Tohatsu starts ok, but really smokes on the first startup. On subsequent starts, it smokes much less. Any ideas what’s wrong?

    9.9 Tohatsu warning light problem

    I’ve got two Tohatsu 9.9 outboards. Both are great motors, but when I’m running full throttle, occasionally I’ll feel a miss in the motor, look back, and the red oil pressure light is on; the motor stills run fine. I then back off the throttle to ‘idle’ and the light goes out. I’ll go back to...

    Oil light warning on 9.8 motors

    I’ve got several Tohatsu/Nissan 9.8 4 stroke motors. If I’m going full throttle, sometimes the motor will miss and the low oil light comes on. If I back off to idle, the oil light goes off & everything returns to normal. This occurs on my motors and a friends 9.8 Mercury (manufactured by...

    Trim tab corrosion

    I borrowed a good friend's boat with a 2013 9.8 Tohatsu outboard, and noticed his trim tab has severe corrosion; it looks like a beaver has been chewing on it! The motor is an electric start, with only a trolling motor and depth finder wired up. He's put very few hours on the motor. I've...

    Battery size for Tohatsu 50 hp TLDI

    The starting battery on my 50 hp TLDI Tohatsu died after three years and I'm having a hard time finding a replacement. About the largest battery under $200 I can find has a cca rating of 800 and a ca rating of 1000. The manual states that a 850 cca battery is necessary. I read that the...

    Loud, smoking Nissan 9.8

    My 2012 9.8 Nissan recently has gotten very loud and now started smoking somewhat. It starts, runs and idles well. I changed the oil last year, filling it to about half full on the dipstick. I checked the oil yesterday, and the dipstick showed the oil level to be very high--almost to the top...

    9.9 hp Mercury not starting

    My 2011 9.9 hp manual start motor would always start on the first pull, run and idle great. Recently, it would start and run fine. After I killed it with the 'off' switch and let it sit, it wouldn't start --not even hit, but would start later. Now, it won't start at all. I removed the plugs...

    Noisy Nissan 9.8 4-stroke

    I have a 2012 Nissan 9.8 hp that is just out of warranty. Recently it has started sounding considerably louder than my friends 9.8 4-stroke Mercury motors. It runs a fine as it ever has; starts easily, idles smoothly and doesn't miss at all. Any ideas? Do these motors have mufflers?

    Tohatsu TLDI oil system malfunction rates

    I read somewhere that the new Nissan/Tohatsu 4-stroke has a much more reliable oil system than do the older TLDI 2-cycle motors? Is this correct? Do any of you shop guys see many problems with the TLDI oil injection systems?

    Need a Minn-Kota Edge mount

    I've got two Minn-Kota Edge foot controlled trolling motors; one is a 2007 & the other is a 2008. Minn-Kota changed the mounts after 2007, and the later model has much less 'slack' in the mount and is much quieter. Where can I find a later model mount? I've searched Craigslist around here...

    50 hp TldI overheating indicator

    I put my boat in the lake last week after not using it all summer. The 50 hp TLDI Tohatsu started and ran normally. While going down the lake the temp. indicator buzzer started, along with the indicator light. I looked back and no water was coming from the 'pee hole'. After limping back to...

    Tohatsu 50 hp TLDI being discontinued?

    I read somewhere that Tohatsu is discontinuing manufacture of their 40/50 hps TLDI motors in favor of 4 strokes. Is this correct? If so, what is the advantage of a 4-stroke system over the TLDI motor?
