As far as fuel economy it is very good on fuel. I ran it just a little over four hours, and it only took 3 gallons of gas and that was running at around 3/4 throttle most of the time. I am very pleased with the engine so far. I am now at around 22 hrs.
Hi Brent, its 2019.now and I wanted to ask you what you say about engine now? Are you all in all satisfied or what? Looking to buy brand new outboard and Tohatsu 30 is on my top.
@@AirlinersHD If there's any trouble with a Tohatsu or any of the major brands now, it's going to be a random mishap. Tohatsu builds quality products, they aren't new to the game whatsoever and commercial fisherman worldwide rely on them. That's who Mercury gets to make their small outboards. Really difficult to buy a bad outboard in today's market.
tohatsus are quiet, once i had mine warming up at the dock and a guy came by and asked if I had trouble starting, he didn't even realize it was idling until he was right up next to it
Very nice. I have a 20hp Tohatsu 4 stroke on my 16ft Naden. Planes easily with 3 guys and fishing gear and sips fuel. They are great engines. I may get the 30 Tohatsu for this boat for pushing big loads of gear, the 20 is a little light for a full load in my 16ft'er.
It run and run this engine. I used this wideo as reference to the coling water it spit out and it spit the same after years of use compared to this one. I think oil changes are important, i run full synth 5,40 and change it each 6 mounths and filter each year.
Tohatsu manufactures all smaller block Mercurys, since 2008 I believe, just different cowling and brand on them. Up to 40hp I believe. I run a 2008 15hp Tohatsu. Fully compareable to Honda and Yamaha. It's down to personal preferences and how you maintain them.
Great engine, i have the same in 25. 4 stroke. It,s 7 years, newer stopped and just changed oil ewery year. PLugs after 2 , Newer off boat,use it summer and some trips in winther.This thing go and go until you maybee manage to wear it out etc but i think it would be difficult. The boat is a Norwegian Pioner 15:)
This is the only outboard motor I found that came with controls and a prop for under $4,800. My local mechanic said that was rigged price too. So once tax tome comes my little whaler will have a brand new motor
I'm not sure what the pitch is I will check next time I use the boat. I am still running the original prop, all I know at this moment is that it is a stock aluminum that comes with the engine. It seems to run out fine, it will push my small aluminum flat just above 30 mph at wide open throttle on the gps. I think it would do a little better if I could trim it higher, my boat is a little light for the engine so I have to keep it trimmed pretty low to keep it from bouncing up and down
It dont brake but maybe you get a bit less performance in the long run, but i dont think so.My is ten years old and yesterday 1hour on wot from Bergen in Norway to Austevoll close to Stord Island south,.Use a semisynthetic in break in and then fully synthetic 5w40 afterwards, then it goes to "the Moon"=)
I like this model and thinking about buying one, I’m just curious is there a throttle box and remote conversion kit if I decided not to used the tiller handle?
Hi Brent and others.I`m from Denmark (Europe) and as it turns out, I have the same motor as you Brent, and it`s a wonderfull engine:-)I have to switch the thermostate, but I haven`t been able to locate, where it is on the motor? So I cant get it switched to a new one.I have allready checked the manuel, but it is not showns where it is? I have also checked online manuals, but its not shown..... Can anybody help me? I really hope so, so I can go sailing Again:-) Kind regards from Denmark
How old is it and do it show any signs of thermostat issues?? My is 10 years and a lot of hours in salt here in Norway but never replased the thermostat.
More then likely they put a 11 pitch prop on that. That what the dealer gave me on my 2014 30hp. You may be able to get away with using a 12 pitch but your hole shot will suffer.
A very underrated outboard motor so reliable even after years of abuse
I have a 07 four stroke
The quietness of the engine is very impressive, even on the plane.
Love Tohatsu is a damn good engine

You need to bring transom up around 2 inches, it make a BIG difference, nice motor little brother
Que Velocidad alcanzó en motor 30hp ?
It's very interesting, I'm from Russia and I'd like to buy motor like you show...
How is it performing now? Follow up video. I am about to purchase this same motor for my aluminum boat
I have a Nissan marine made by tohatsu and it's the best motor I have owned
It run and run this engine. I used this wideo as reference to the coling water it spit out and it spit the same after years of use compared to this one. I think oil changes are important, i run full synth 5,40 and change it each 6 mounths and filter each year.

I thnk it would be fairer to say that 30hp mercurys are smallblock tohatsus as it's tohatsu who makes them !
tohatsu 150 is a honda

I'll run it at WOT the first time it's out. If it brakes they're getting it back

ANYBODY?

What pitch prop do you have on that motor?
I just put a 25efi on my 1448. It's quite and fast.
Can I put this engine on 1446 Jon Boat
More then likely they put a 11 pitch prop on that. That what the dealer gave me on my 2014 30hp. You may be able to get away with using a 12 pitch but your hole shot will suffer.
