    Throttle friction tensioner - Tohatsu 15 or any

    I don't have a lot of experience with outboards, but it appears that a throttle friction tensioner would make life a lot more comfortable.<br /><br />My Tohatsu is, thankfully, a very easy, short throw (or twist) throttle, but, even so, an hour or so of holding it gets to be a real chore.<br...

    Tohatsu 2001 - 15D2 4 versus 3 blades?

    In my process of shopping for a new prop for my 2001 Tohatsu 15D2 I found the only one available from iBoats is a 4 blade unit with slightly less pitch (which I understand).<br /><br />The stock is a 9.2 X 8.8 three blade and the iBoats unit is 9.25 X 8.4 four blade. <br /><br />My question is...

    Attn: Elvin - Tohatsu Prop Question

    Just thought you might like to know, Elvin, that while price shopping for a prop for a Tohatsu 15D2 (2001) I checked your website and noticed a potential error in your Prop Kit pricing ... It says - "Retail-$29.95, Online price - $39.95". <br /><br />Your prop prices are good for the one...

    Tohatsu 15D2 Prop seal leak

    When I went out to the shed to look over my 2001 Tohatsu 15D2 before taking it out for the season, I noticed a very small puddle of oil just under the foot and just behind the prop. Checking it for a day reveals it leaks about a drop about every hour ... maybe a bit longer.<br /><br />The...

    Spark Plug confusion

    I recently went in to buy a couple new plugs for my 2001 Tohatsu M15D2 and ran into the NGK rep who often visits Marinas in the area.<br /><br />As I told the parts guy that I wanted two NGK BR7HS-10 plugs, the rep commented that I'd get better performance over a wider rpm range using BPR7HS-10...

    Another Merc 20 Model ID question

    I just came into a Mercury 20HP this afternoon and I can't determine the year ... unlike most others, there's no year on the ID plate ... just a serial 5765766.<br /><br />The engine looks as though it's barely had any use and starts on the first pull, but, so far, all I can locate is a range...

    Tohatsu M15D sparkplug

    I recently bought a used 2000 Tohatsu 15 HP (M15D) and am now finding controversy over the sparkplug.<br /><br />An owner's manual didn't come with the engine, but the PDF version from the Tohatsu site lists an NGK B7HS-10.<br /><br />The local dealership mechanic now tells me I need to run a...

    Polar CGF-1444

    I have been offered a Polar (or Polar Craft) model CGF-1444 for what appears to be a reasonable price, but ... I know absolutely nothing about this line.<br /><br />An online search didn't turn up anything even close, so I was wondering if anyone was familiar with this model and about the...

    12 footer engine size

    As all of you know by now, I have an older (about 1980) 12 ft Alumacraft, either model E, EL or EZ.<br /><br />The EZ is rated at 7.5 HP, but the E at 12 HP (and I can't see any difference between models, really).<br /><br />I have been powering it with a 6 HP Suzuki that gave me 17Kts (GPS)...

    Another "Good Buy" question

    I've been offered a 2000 Tohatsu M15D2 for $850 and am strongly considering it even though I don't currently have a hull to hang it on.<br /><br />It's owned by a long time friend, so I know the engine, know that he used it regularly and keeps it well maintained.<br /><br />However, though it...

    Was there ever a 12 footer?

    I have a small aluminum semi-V skiff that I restored and am trying to find out it's manufacturor. Did Alumacraft ever make a 12 footer?<br /><br />This boat is 12'4" LOA by 47" Beam, has wooden bench seats and is, I think, quite old although very sea worthy.<br /><br />Looking at some of the...

    Fun Time

    In all the time I've hung out in iboats, this is the first that I've visited the Dockside Chat and I must say that I've had both a stimulating and very enjoyable time.<br /><br />This gang is positively Nuts-O!!! :) .. just the company I prefer. <br /><br />Just wanted to comment on how I've...

    Aluminum boat bow eye installation

    I have a small aluminum semi-V skiff on which I think a better bow eye than is currently installed would be a big advantage, but .. I need some recomendations/discussions, please.<br /><br />The current bow eye is on top of a small plate at the highest point on the bow. That puts it well above...

    Used Minn Kota Turbo 40 info request

    I recently came by a used Minn Kota Turbo 40 (27 lbs Thrust - Serial: MKJE0156862 according to the label), but I have no other info on this unit and don't know when it was sold originally or the best parts sources.<br /><br />The motor ran well initially, but then started quitting...

    Suzuki DT-6 Carb upgrade - possible?

    I recently noted that the bore & stroke on my DT-6 is identical to that of a Suzuki DT-8. Further scrutiny reveals that the major difference appears to be in the carburetor size (18 vs 24 mm intake).<br /><br />From my Motorcycle road racing days (AMA Nat'l #4 1982 & 84), I know that one way of...

    Gamefisher 9.9 Tilt lock

    I cannot move the small, white Tilt Lock lever from the Unlocked position.<br /><br />It appears that the lever is connected, via a pushrod, to a 1" lever that (I assume) should rotate, thereby turning a small rod through the clamp ***'y. Who knows what it does after that <GG>.<br /><br />I've...

    Trying to locate prop -1940 Johnson HA-15 2.5 HP

    I have a 1940 Johnson HA-15 2.5 HP that has been in my family since it was about 5 years old (it's one year older than I am) and I'm trying to locate a prop and a water pump kit (or just the impellor).<br /><br />I've checked with all the usual sources, but everyone either says "not available"...

    Gamefisher 9.9 info needed

    I just aquired a 1994 Gamefisher 9.9, model # 225.587991 and am in need of some info on this motor.<br /><br />This is the first motor I've owned in about 35 yers, so I'm almost starting all over again. Naturally, no manual came with the motor and Sears Parts website doesn't show any diagrams or...
