The prop on the 6 hp Tohatsu can be changed to achieve high thrust, for heavy loads. This outboard is sold as a Sailpro, but the prop is REALLY the only difference, aside from the 12 volt charger, off of the engine, which will provide a small charge to a battery. I changed the prop on my 6 hp...

Serpa4, The Tohatsu, Nissan, Mercury and Evinrude 4 stroke, 4, 5 & 6 are exactly the same outboard and all weigh exactly the same. These are all made by Tohatsu and aside from the decal on the cowling are the same. They get the extra HP with different carburetors. They do have 3 shaft lengths...

I am not particularly fond of Harbor Freight’s tools for real everyday use, but I have more than one boat and I have one their all in one tool kits on each boat. I do customize the kit on each boat, to ensure that I have tools for their specific needs, like a socket, just for removing the prop...

Westward, I filled mine last week and never spilled a drop. First, open the cabinet and get all of the things away from the perimeter of the tank. Unscrew the lid to the tank. Loosen the strap from around the tank. Move the fuel container, still upright, away from its mounting location, just a...

Sam, I have written procedures for replacing the hatch lens and will share that with you via PM. Where I live in Virginia, there is a plastic shop within 20 minutes of my home, so I had them cut the lens. I have cut others before with good results, but I removed the risk of me fracturing the...

Gerhard, There is a Honda dealer/repair facility in Yorktown, VA, that is absolutely the best of the best. They only work on Honda outboards and are truly the best experts on the East Coast of the USA. I would recommend taking your boat to them. They will troubleshoot and provide the best...

Will, Thank you for all that you do for us C-Brats. Left a tip a moment ago, so that you can buy a fancy cup of coffee...

On my 26, a hatch would be of little value, as to gain access, would be difficult. I have a custom mattress on top of air springs.

TStrong, Good on you for doing the homework and weeding out a boat that you have clear evidence of it, being a fraud. When you started posting, one thing that was unusual, was the fuel tank. Based on the year that your were told, it would not have had a fiberglass molding that contained...

daninPA, I have the tool to install a brass drain tube. The tool flairs each end. If you need it, I will gladly lend it to you.

C-Wolfe, Maybe the hub of the propeller has spun out. When this happens, the prop will act normal when checked by hand and will also idle pretty normal. When you increase speed, the prop will turn, but will slip and the prop will not go up in RPM, while the engine still can.

Welcome to this fantastic group. Lots of satisfied C-Dory owners, with lots of stories, lot of general guidance and plenty of technical advice. I lived with open boats most of my life and enjoyed most all of them. Once I got a boat that I could drive from inside, I then got to go boating all...

Ken O, I overhaul outboards for a hobby and have worked on every brand and size. I've got a least 10, that I am finishing up at this time. After YEARS of failures and seeing corrosion from minor to major, my solution to ensuring that a fastener comes apart in the future is to use Tef-Gel on...

This is the fitting style that I purchased and attached to a collapsing water hose. https://a.co/d/d9lXYJj

Tom & Marina, My CC26 has the same wash down system. I too scratched my head, when I saw it and came up with a solution. I’m heading out for a day of sailing, but when I get home, I’ll go to my dock to look at my hose set up.

Larry, PM David, owner of Almas Only, as he has the 22 with the 100 and has it dialed in. David is also in VA. PS, come go cruising with us in the future.

I misunderstood the 1st post and publicly admit to screwing up. Sorry to all and specially to Dr. Bob. Dr. Bob, you are the best!

Sad news… Such a wonderful man, with a wealth of knowledge, that he freely shared, with everyone. I now wonder, how many other groups, has he done the same for. He will be missed by many and never forgotten, because of his contributions.

James, 99.9% of the time, the problem is that the steering cable has a rod at the end of it, that moves back and forth, inside of the tilt tube on the outboard. The tilt tube is steel and the steering cable rod is stainless steel. The lubrication between those two components bind, once the...
