| We have recently become a UK OEM supplier for the Tohatsu range of petrol outboards and accessories. |  |
These Japanese-made motors are renowned for their reliability and it is no
secret that the Tohatsu company also manufactures the smaller outboards
marketed under the Mariner/Mercury brands. Apart from logos and pricing
they are for the most part identical, although the Tohatsu 4/5/6 models
have just been updated with a front-mount gear shift and a longer tiller
handle - very useful features in engines that are likely to be used on small
boats, and not yet available on the Mariner/Mercury equivalents.
Tohatsu outboards are supplied with a five year warranty.

The smallest Tohatsu outboards are the 2.5 and 3.5, ideal candidates for powering any of our boats. In standard shaft these weigh a very manageable 18.4kg (long shaft 19.4). They have many useful/desirable features that are not always found at this size, including: proper forward-neutral gearbox; twist-grip throttle, heavy duty aluminium propeller; water cooling, and an integral fuel tank. (We find the centrifugal clutches used by some other manufacturers difficult to control, and air cooling rather noisy.) |
Next size up are the 4/5/6 models. They are available with integral and/or external tanks, weighing from 26kg. For most customers we think the external tank version is probably the best option, as it's the lightest to put on/off the boat, and at this sort of power the integral tank would only last an hour or so before you have to fill up again (so you will probably need to carry a separate tank anyway). The current version has a front-mounted gear lever and 4" longer tiller handle for added convenience and safety when mounted on the transom of small boats - you don't have to lean back so far. |  |
The 6 is the most powerful motor available that can reasonably be
described as portable, and it's just about perfect for our Trio 16 boat.
We also offer the 9.8 for the Trio 16 - a very nice, twin cylinder engine,
but at approx 37kg quite heavy if you need to take it on/off frequently.
