Water in cylinder during the last several outings

Honda 200 hp, wasted, beyond repair

So... Spent the last few days, trying to find an outboard. Without being concerned about the brand, had zero luck. Suzuki, not available till June. Tohatsu, (Honda rebadged), not available till July. Honda, not abatable till June. Yamaha, not available till May - June. I looked at a few used...

T.A Bauer, I am the third owner of the boat. The first owner was meticulous, but only owned the boat for 2 years and the family had to sell the boat, due to the owners health. I am also meticulous, so it goes without saying, the second owner, did not flush the outboard, after each use. I got...

Today, I was able to head over to Atlantic Marine, to take a look at my engine, with the heads removed. The block's cooling passages is wasted away, about 70% and even more in several locations. The hole in the right head is about 3/8" diameter. Without much else to say or look at, I told...

T.A. Bauer, I was referring to the larger/highest HP outboards as being rebadged Honda's. The outboards below that are indeed Tohatsu.

Starcraftom, You you correct, larger Honda's are also rebadged as Tohatsu (decals and paint color is the only difference).

I got all of my lettering from this company and the job was perfect. www.doityourselflettering.com

I had posted this last week and now have a follow-up: "Osprey was misfiring, last time out... Yesterday, pulled coils and plugs. lower plug on starboard side was fouled, with rust on the last few threads. Not good! Took boat off of lift today and put on trailer. Have an appointment with a...

Osprey was misfiring, last time out... Yesterday, pulled coils and plugs. lower plug on starboard side was fouled, with rust on the last few threads. Not good! Took boat off of lift today and put on trailer. Have an appointment with a Honda shop on 2/16. Hoping a new outboard is not in my...

Rob, Thank you for posting the information, on the progress of Sea Pony. Now we all want to see photos, so please post them, when you have an opportunity. Lastly, I am interested to see what your solution was for the defroster.

Karen, Too bad that you are on the left coast, as this outboard fits your current needs… http://www.c-brats.com/modules.php?set_ ... _album.php

Monica and Howard, Congratulations! You will not be disappointed with your new boat and will enjoy numerous adventures. Looking forward to seeing the progress.

Karen, Having the throttle higher up, would certainly make adjustments easier and I agree that having the shifter in the front will save the reaching. The 2.5 and 3.5 (no reverse) Tohatsu 4 stroke (rebadged Mercury, Mariner, Nissan and Evinrude), do not have a high thrust prop option and the...

zuunami, Just purchase for a reputable source, such as Defender.com, or Boats.net and you will get the best price and not get burned.

jennykatz, A small outboard of that HP, would get the boat moving, but if there was wind or tide, they would likely be the influence that would deside, where the boat goes... Steve Baum Homeport of Portsmouth, VA OSPREY (Ex Mister Sea) 2000 22 C-Dory 2010 - Sold 3/19 OSPREY (Ex ADITI) 2007 26...

zuunami, When you get your outboard, feel free to touch base and I will walk you through the required maintenance and particulars about this model. Lastly, down the road, if you go for the 6 hp carb, be carful, as most of the aftermarket carbs, that are advertised as 6 hp, are in fact 4 - 5 hp...

zuunami, It takes about 15 minutes to change the carb on the 4, 5 or 6 Tohatsu, at most. The prop change is even faster. A small boat will reach and maintain hull speed easy and run a a lower RPM, with the high thrust prop, then trying to do same with the stock prop. It also will provide much...

zuunami, I have about 20 small outboards in my shed, that I have gone completely through as part of my hobby. Please tell me the specific brand and hp that you are interested in and I will take measurements for you. PS, you may have already seen this from me, but Tohatsu makes/made 4 stroke 4...
