    Nissan/ Tohatsu 115 TLDI stocking dealers

    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...

    Elvin- checking accuracy of another post on TLDI's

Here is what was posted in regards to the 50 TLDI: Here is some interesting facts...

    05 Johnson 90- Boyesen reeds- better idle?

    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...

    JB- but I worked so hard on it :-)

    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...

    Any Opinions? NEW '05 Johnson 90 2 stroke 60 degree looper

    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...

    Elvin- I might have to jump ship! Nissan Prices!

    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...

    Brunswick cost cutting: Lund & Crestliner layoffs

    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...

    Nissan marine gauges- Elvin

    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...

    Minn Kota Genesis

    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...
