Ha, ha, ha, never go with a wife to buy water toys, outboards, they are always on a budget. Would advise to buy a Hardline induction tach model HR 8061-2, install it on tiller, next to throttle grip, adjust to 2 sparks per revolution. Check Iboats, Amazon for them.
Go for a wot spin with wife, check achieved max wot revs once break in period ends. Soon after, if OB wot revs are low towards the lugging side can maximize a less pitch prop for combo to pull wot revs towards max factory stated.
Read carefully installation procedures on Owner's Manual, there's too much hanky panky going on on the forums about correct trim setting, all sorts of wild shots which doesn't work well.
BTW, what was the price difference betwen both Tohatsu 15-20 HP-OB's ?
