I'm looking at buying a NS70A2 that is in great condition. But if I still can't get an impeller or water pump (or whatever else) then I won't bother.

Any updates on getting this part? From Sierra or Tohatsu or ?

Probably Tohatsu M70 WP kit will match, the experts should provide a proper tech answer...

Happy Boating

The impeller and kits are NLA from Tohatsu. There are a few NOS units for sale on eBay and other Internet spots. Also... There is an Australian with a "cottage industry" making reproduction impellers and pump housings. He sells them on eBay, and you can reach him on Facebook: Scott Lintern, https://www.facebook.com/scott.lintern1?ref=ts

Do you think it would be worth buying this particular low hour motor given that fact? Asking price is $1500 but I'd offer around $500 or thereabouts. My other option is a 3 cylinder Johnson 60 early 90's with VRO.

It would make no sense to buy an engine that no longer has parts available for it...This engine no longer has parts availability so, it would be a huge mistake.

Yes but are there no parts available? Or are some still being produced?

Some internal and/or ignition bits are available new, as long as they are still on the shelf at Tohatsu America. Once they are gone from those shelves, they are gone forever. Many bits, including the everyday parts we use, such as seals, carb and water pump parts, are only available as NOS or reproductions. Beware the money pit.

Ok thanks. Decided to pass on this one. I'll stick to JohnnyRude or Yamaha at that vintage.
