I recently bought a 2008 merc 4 hp and I know they are tohatsu's.Also searched and found they are converted to 5 or 6 hp just by a carb change.I tried to find out what the carb costs online but cant seem to get anywhere.I know that more than a few people have done this and I am looking for a rough price estimate.
I am also wondering if I am sacrificing any reliability by doing this.I got the motor brand new for $500 so I am pretty stoked on that deal.I am also planning on getting the alternator too and am wondering how hard of an install that is.Thanks.

Elvin is completely correct. Note that you will need BOTH the alternator and rectifier kits in order to charge.
