Tohatsu parts

[walleyehed]

Ok you tohatsu gurus....where can I get parts, such as pistons, bearings, maybe some fiber reeds, and a few extras for a 1985 30HP??<br />A buddy I work with has a 7ft additor with a 30, and we injested some water after some serious air-time and had a hard-core lock-up.<br />Any help would be great, guys!

Re: Tohatsu parts

I would start with Avalon Professional Group.<br /><br />www.internetoutboards.com<br /><br />From what I am told, they are the main distributor in the USA for Nissan/Tohatsu. If you have a local Nissan dealer, it is probably who they use.

Re: Tohatsu parts

depends on the exact year, pre 1985 engines you cant get parts anymnore, unless dealer still has old stock... tohatsu pissed off their parts manufacturer along time ago....<br /><br />a 7foot boat with 30hp?maybe you goty what was coming to ya, sheesh!

Mike, this boat is MADE to fly, and it does it quite well...gotta be very quick with the throttle to keep for shearing pins.<br />It's actually a safe boat though.<br />Thanks guys...<br />K

Hummmm.....interesting user name there....<br />We are a dealer, and have been told the parts we need are NLA, but we have located a powerhead, but thank you for the help!<br />Dealer stock appears limited on cranks, etc, but we did find a factory Power head available in the system, just a little more than expected for O/H..

Kenny,<br /><br />Those parts are all still available, except that the reeds are ss. In fact they just brought back the 2-stk 25-30 hp in April for limited production.

Re: Tohatsu parts

Are parts for 1985 Nissan 40hp (twin cyl) discontinued/hard to come by? This engine has performed very well, and haven't had to buy parts yet (outside normal wear), but expect that sometime will need:<br /><br />- carb kit<br />- fuel pump<br />- electrical items (coils, sensors, etc)<br />- additional water pump impellers<br /><br />Should I be looking to procure those parts now? or is the issue only the main engine/mechanical parts?
