    Johnson Evinrude 15 vs Nissan Tohatsu 9.8

    Have a few extra inches on the tiller would definitely help shift more weight to the center.

    Are there any Salvage Yards in Canada ?

    I saw a video where the guy bought BRP points that were absolute trash. I guess I'm buying aftermarket. Thanks. What's the general concesus on using used points, condensers, and coils pulled from a junkyard ?

    Your preference are the 88 - 92 motors ? Better overall design and simply more junkers available ?

    Johnson Evinrude 15 vs Nissan Tohatsu 9.8

    I currently have a 76 15hp. Once I find a 93 and up , I should notice an improvement in overall performance. Bigger displacement, larger exhaust, stronger spark vs points and condensers, improved reed valves, and it should be a lot smoother overall

    Johnson Evinrude 15 vs Nissan Tohatsu 9.8

    Thanks. I'm going to focus on a 93 and up 15 hp because I can still lift them easily. Some people cant , physically lift 80 lbs , maybe age, or a bad elbow or shoulder , ect.... and so they opt for the lighter one.

    Johnson Evinrude 15 vs Nissan Tohatsu 9.8

    I'm going to stay away from the Tohatsu then. Not worth sacrificing a ton of power just to shave off 20lbs .

    Johnson Evinrude 15 vs Nissan Tohatsu 9.8

    1976 Evinrude 15hp vs 2000 Tohatsu 9.8hp I'm considering picking up the Tohatsu after owning a few Johnson/Evinrude 9.9's and 15's . Main reason for the upgrade would be weight . I assemble and transport every outing. Seller claims the 2000 Tohatsu is faster / better than any old Evinrude 15...

    Rec gas prices???

    High octane gas is more "flammable" than regular gas. Outboards perform better with high octane gas. You'll observe less "gunk" residue oozing from the exhaust. Most engines perform fine with regular gas, however one of the issues is with Ethanol. Ethanol is hygroscopic. This means it will...

    78 Evinrude 9.9

    Thanks. I prefer something I can maintain. What year did they switch to the newer "bigger" style. I prefer the older more compact version where the tiller tucks away for transport

    If you must rent out a room: Only accept older tenants that are established. Seniors are great. If you rent to a millennial you're crazy. Setup auto withdraw monthly from their account. Help them set up a new bank account at your bank if necessary. Hold a deposit. A big one. Someone is less...
