Mary Lou,

Now, do not let this sailboat forum cause any discussion... at the house. 
For those of us who have been around, we know the picture, for newbies, let
them wonder, it will do them good or maybe even they will learn to seach the
archives?

Bill, 

If you search the archives, you might find more information about Tohotsu
outboards.  Ask Captain Rummy to offer his opinion for the ?th time.  Or
just go the archives and see his oft offered opinion.

I think that"s how it works with most of us that live north of the Mason
Dixon line .When I was looking at outboards the Yamaha  T 8 High Thrust was
at the top of my list until  I  found out it did not have manual starting 
.That"s when I  found the Tohatsu  8  A little lighter 90 lbs ,manual and
electric starting ,for 1750 including shipping and tax on the Internet at
Internetourboards.com.
   After I got Fred email I reopened the owner"s manual and the hook up
looks real close to what you have .

Thanks once again Bill D.

Subject: [Rhodes22-list] clarification Re:  Question for Mary Lou

 Hi Bill (and any one else who might be confused),

Just wanted to make it clear that Fred and I are married (to each 
other even) and Fretless is a joint project. He takes care of a lot 
of the techy stuff and most of the heavy lifting and I'm the mouth.

Also to clarify, in the winter the controls get disconnected at the 
engine and the motor gets stored in our shed. The controls and the 
post stay on the boat. Fred wrapped the fittings at the loose end of 
the cables with rigging tape to protect them and so that none of the 
parts would unscrew themselves over the winter.

Best,
Mary Lou
