Hi y'all and Elvin!
Well it has been a couple of years since I sold my last TLDI. I really loved my TLDI's and was a huge cheerleader here for Nissan/Tohatsu, but when I bought my current boat 2 years ago, the 115 TLDI was priced way over the cost of an E-tec primarily because Nissan/ Tohatsu...
Hey Elvin- I ran into an interesting post on another web site in reference to the TLDI 50's- I thought I would get your take- it sounds accurate but I thought the info on the Yamaha engine block was interesting. Here is what was posted in regards to the 50 TLDI:
Here is some interesting facts...
I thought you guys would find this thread interesting-

I apologize if this has been posted here already...JB feel free to delete it if it has been....
Howdy guys-
First of all- I believe my outboard is behaving normally.
I have never been happy with the idle on my 2005 Johnson 90hp (carb'd of course- 60 degree looper). I purchased it new and have about 200 hours on it. I have a factory service manual...
It idles about as good as I guess as...
Good day as always! :-)
Remember: Incoming fire has the right of way.
I worked really hard to compose a tactful, thoughtful, and otherwise sincere post here on the Honda/ Tohatsu forums... In fun, I just thought that I would let you know that the deletion was noted...
In closing I have 3...
I know, I kinda hate these types of posts too, but since there is so much experience here I would be foolish not to ask you guys for some feedback. So, here is the story....
I originally set out to replace my old boat/ Nissan 50 TLDI with something a bit larger. I orginally had my heart set on...
About a year ago, I had my heart set on buying a new Nissan 115 TLDI. I have had such great luck with my existing Nissan 50 TLDI- it is the sweetest motor that I have ever had. But, the time has come for me to upgrade to a larger boat, and of course a larger outboard. The hull I have found is...
I will be looking to upgrade boats again---yeah, I know, I know...am never happy with the size I have...bigger is better- that is what my girlfriend says.<br /><br />Have you received word on when the new 115 TLDI's will be available? Any rough idea where they are going to be at in price? Will...
Since Lund & Crestliner are the dominant boat manufacturers in the upper midwest, I thought I would pass this on. There seems to be a ton of MN/WI boaters on these boards. As a former mud duck (Minnesotan) & Cheesehead I found this quite interesting... Here it is:<br /><br />Boat factory lays...
Elvin-<br /><br />I am in need of 2 gauges. I installed a '04 Nissan 50 TLDI on a '04 Smokercraft that already had mounted in it gold gauges (speedo and fuel). They kinda clash with my Nissan gauges and give my boat a "hodge-podge" look. The gold gauges that came with the boat are pretty...
I just noticed that Cabela's has a decent sale on their AGM batteries. Anyone have a clue who makes them for Cabela's? Also Bass Pro has theirs on sale as well, any clue who makes theirs? Are they the same? Thanks!
Elvin- I seek your infinite wisdom.... <br /><br />I am wondering if I need to try a different prop on my boat. I have a Nissan 50 TLDI on a Smokercraft Stinger 161(V hull aluminum walleye boat). The boat weighs 600 lbs. dry, the motor 210 lbs., 12 gallons fuel at 80 lbs., batteries at 50 lbs...
Ok, I need a bit of advice here....<br /><br />I am in the process of purchasing a new trolling motor for walleye fishing and I am a bit surprised at the price difference between a Minn Kota Powerdrive (with AutoPilot & CoPilot & universal sonar) and a Motorguide PTsv (even without the remote...
I am quite aware that Minn Kota stopped production on the Genesis a couple of years ago- but I must say, I was always in love with that TM and at the time couldn't afford the hefty price. This past week, I received a lead on a dealer that has some left over Genesis TM's for about $700.00 US...
I have a quick question that I know you guys will be able to answer. <br /><br />I am removing a 2003 Merc 40 2 stroke from the back of a '04 Alumacraft Lunker (16.5)ft.<br /><br />I am replacing the outboard with a new '04 Nissan 50 TLDI. <br /><br />Is the bolt pattern through the transom...
