[Rhodes22-list] Outboard engines

[cjlowe]

Nick,
I have the 6hp Nissan,which is made by tohatsu,in the 20 in. shaft.I like
it,but ,right out of the box ,it is a little over propped for the
Rhodes.When I was motor shopping 3 years ago,Tohatsu was just coming out
with the 8 and 9.9hp units,it was July and maybe they could have one for me
in November.I lake sail,so I don't have to deal with tides or currents,and
it's enough motor for me.
Tohatsu also makes the 4,5 and 6hp outboards for Mercury,if they make the 8
and 9.9  for them,it opens a whole new world of parts availability. I broke
the fuel hose connector on the motor,and was able to order it at my
marina,through Mercury,saving me a 50mi. trip out of my way.

just something else to cloud your mind,
Jerry Lowe
