I also show some tips and tricks I do with the motor and how I maintain the motor. I have personally put over 300 hours and 6,000 miles on this motor in the past year and a half.

Marine Foam Flotation Test
Переглядів 2,5 тис.Рік тому
What is better... block polystyrene or poured in polyurethane foam! My observation has been that poured in polyurethane foam water logged quickly and that block polystyrene absorbed less water and dried quickly. This proved true when I had to remove the floor and flotation from by boat in the Arctic to do a repair... it came out dry... it was block polystyrene foam. On the internet people told ...
Northwest Passage by Arctic Jon Boat

Checkout the Northwest Passage viewed from the smallest boat to ever attempt the route, power by a single outboard motor and piloted by its solo occupant. The adventure ended up covering approximately 2,000 miles and taking about a month. Traveling the Oceans and Gulfs of the Arctic takes a toll on equipment and the human body. Stay with the video series to meet the people and view the sites th...

    Awesome video sir !! 😊 I just traded my 25 Tohatsu for a 40 like yours and am breaking it in at present. My water sampling business on the big Atamaha River in SE GA requires a 100% reliable motor, and i have run Tohatsus exclusively because my life depends on it. Hint: Amsoil is the oil to use as it will last indefinitely with only a filter change every 100 hours. Expensive but oh so so worth the extra $ !!!! Be safe and keep safe ....

    • @AgelessWandererNow
      @AgelessWandererNow 2 місяці тому

      @@wodnastj since completing breakin with dino oil, I run quality synthetic oil and change oil and filter every 50 hours. I am a retired mechanical engineer and worked for engine manufacturers for most of my life. I've had lengthy conversations with our lubrication engineers. There is a lot going on there... I change oil often as the pH and other chemistry is impacted even though quality synthetic oil doesn't break down (fractures above 400F) in a water cooled 4 stroke motor. Some say my strategy is excessive and expensive... like you, my life depends on motor reliability... I'll spend the extra!

    I used 1-inch-thick Styrofoam boards that I bought from Lowes. They come in 4' x 8' sheets and I cut them to fit the compartments under the floor of my boat and used Liquid Nails to stack and glue the individual panels in place. ua-cam.com/video/tTYxEF7QheE/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/e9E3BzDtPbs/v-deo.html

    Hi Robert, congrats on your completion of passage, I followed along on Facebook. On the 120 hours oil change, I seriously doubt that's a problem since 100 hours is recommended interval. I'm on my 2nd Tohatsu mfs20e and love the engine. Tohatsu states you can run oil filter for 200 hours and oil for 100. I think this should be reverse, filter every 100 and oil at 200. Oil doses not go bad. just needs filtering. Good advise on the cover lanyard, I think I'll do the same. I also have a tach and hour meter, I mounted mine on tiller handle for easy view of rpm. When draining motor oil it's less of a mess if you tilt engine up and lay tiller over to starboard, oil drip clears the lower unit while draining. A note, don't smear oil around on any painted surface while cleaning up, I did this to my first engine and it contaminated my paint and discolored it. Tohatsu has been a leader in outboard engine around the world for decades, the U.S. market is late to the party. I've noticed in last several years Tohatsu has increased its presence in U.S. marketing. Once again thanks for sharing your tips and experiences with us.

  • @mitchmaris
    @mitchmaris Рік тому

    I'm sure the 120 hours between changes is probably no problem. I'd check for oil level at 100 hours and if no loss, then press on until the next ability to change :) Thanks for sharing, Sir!

    I have a question about your kickplate. I have the same one on my jon. I'm needing to raise my motor more but I'm out of mounting holes on the motor base to move up. Are the holes under the stainless shafts where the kick plate hinges meant be used as another form of adjustment? Like could I raise up my motor by moving the shafts to the center hole?
