    tohatsu TLDI continuing for more years?

    Just sold my fantastic short shaft 2011 TLDI 50, loved it no issues ever. Will be moving to a long shaft transom boat soon, and considering another new Tohatsu .....TLDI 50 with big tiller, or the 50 4stroke big tiller. One dealer told me they may be phasing out TLDI soon? I like the 4stroke...

    50 tldi tohatsu tiller tilt trim switch mod?

    Just checking in to see if anyone came up with a simple mod to add a rocker switch to the end of the tiller throttle for thumb use? My motor is only a few years old and every time I go out wish I had this. Especially for slowly sliding over logs at slow speed during hunting season. Usually have...

    2011 50TLDI Tiller trim switch options

    Just dropped in to ask Paul, Guru, and/or others about trim switch options. Watching Swamp People now, with Junior running that tiller 115Yam, reminded me of this. My boat is similar to their skiffs. I posted last year about possibly installing a 2nd momentary trim switch near my right hand and...

    2011 Tohatsu 50hp TLDI

    I'm considering making some boat changes. Have a 2011 short shaft 50 now. One of the boat options is an Xpress HD16DB which has the 20 in transom. Before I even consider changing motors, is it feasible to change my short shaft motor into a long shaft? Cost? Thx!

    Re-installing Tohatsu 50 TLDI on new boat

    I'll be pulling my motor off my current boat, and reinstalling on a new 1948 flat bottom custom aluminum skiff soon. Originally installed by dealer on this current smaller semi-v Alweld 1548. So the object is to get the cavitation plate dead even with the bottom of the boat right? Almost...

    Tohatsu TLDI 50hp coming!

    I'm not sure how much of this info carries forward to the later model 50's, but it was a good read and filled in some gaps for me. http://www.boatpoint.com.au/engine-reviews/2000/tohatsu-tldi-50-8163 I had a 40 on order, then it hit backorder, and today the dealer is upgrading me to an...

    Nissan Tohatsu 40TLDI trim tilt switch options

    This thread is close enough for me to ask the question: (getting closer to 40TLDI purchase now). Dealer told me for some small boat marsh fishing tiller applications/customers they like to rig up a 2button external TnT switch for the tiller owners that don't like having it way back behind the...

    Mercury 40 EFI Tiller? Anybody has one?

    My choices are down to two motors now. Must haves: Short transom, 15inch. Tiller steering Merc EFI 40. Had a 40 two stroke a few years ago, I absolutely loved the gas assist, but got tired of manual start. This new motor has elec start, and still offered with gas assist, which is great for...

    Water separator - small engine

    I used to use my boats so much year round that I always had fresh gas and never saw the need, or got informed on water separators. My current 3-4 year Yam25 2stroke is not seeing as much use due to a fleet of kayaks now, LOL. Would like to install a water/fuel separator inside the transom. Are...

    Yam25 2stroke vs Nissan30EFI 4stroke- tiller short shaft

    The Nissan 30EFI 4stroke is another motor I'm considering to replace my 4yr old Yam25 2stroke. Its on a 15ft Alweld. It runs ok, but looking for a bit more push, but not sure if this is going to be doing much though. What do the experts think I'd be gaining here with the 30EFI? Anything at...

    Nissan 30EFI 4stroke vs 40TLDI 2stroke

    First post here, hello to all. Middle aged guy who's had many boats over the years, small and midsized. All 2stroke motors. Not quite an old fart yet. LOL I'm looking hard at these two motors for my 15ft Alweld alum boat. Tiller, short shaft, must have elec start. TnT optional, but probably...
