[Rhodes22-list] Tohatsu Bad Reputation???

[Bill Effros]

My remote is mounted on my stern rail.  Push to go forward.  Pull to go 
back.  1 lever.  Push harder, go faster.  The electric start can work 
from the remote.

My cables go into my seat drain channels, under the cushions, pop out at 
the stern, over the top of the motor mount, to the remote brackets.

Get the most expensive cables.  They will turn sharper angles and still 
operate without binding.

Fuel line goes through the boot on transom.

Electrical connection to connector in stern--batteries in cabin.  Run 
the electrical cables through the rear of the Laz. cover--no lip.

These kinds of questions are fair game.  Apologies not required.  None 
of us notes all the details until we've owned the boat for at least 5 years.
