Originally posted by nevd:<br />[QB] The Tohatsu is a lighter motor than an Etec, but minimum battery size is certainly in favour of the Etec. <br /><br />I am not a Tohatsu "basher" having had good performance from 3 different motors over the years and a major selling point for each motor was power to weight ratio.<br /><br />I have checked the Exide marine website and found that recommended battery for up to 300 HP outboards and inboards is smaller than Tohatsu are nominating and up to 750 HP inboards Exide only specify the next size up from Tohatsu's spec for 50 HP.

Direct Injection engines require more CCA's, regardless of brand.

I have an 60 HP e-tech only done about 15 hours from new, it trolls at 600 rpm very happily, very quietly, and with little vibration, would definitely recommend. Sorry no experience of TLDI or 4 stroke but can't imagine they would be much better
