Hey Everyone,
I recently bought myself a new Tohatsu 9.8 outboard. A nice little upgrade from my 1975 6hp Evinrude. (which I still love)
I live up in Canada and all of our gas is now at least E10.
My outboard motors only get about a month or 2 of use each year and I have been stressing about...
Hi guys,
Just purchased a new tohatsu 9.8 hp.
My question is in regard to engine oil and gear oil.
anyone use quicksilver oil for their tohatsu?
I went to Canadian tire and this was the only marine oils they had.
Hey everyone!
I just purchased a brand new Tohatsu 9.8 for my 12 foot vhaul princecraft.
Just finished reading through my owners manual. Though I would pop in here and see if there were any tips/tricks from the community as far as taking care of the motor and ensuring it lasts a life time.

Afternoon everyone,
I have a 1975 6hp evinrude I recently bought.

Do I have to remove the water impeller as well as the drive shaft to be able to remove the bottom gear...
So I took off the GC.
The rods both seemed to be in the right spot within the link. There is a little groove that the bolt seems to grab on for the correct position. The bolts were also tight.
However, one thing I noticed with the shift dog.
I grabbed it with some pliers to pull it up into...
Can you elaborate a bit more?
The where do I find the forward gear in the lower unit?
Wondering if this problem is common and if I should be worried I bought a brick
Hey everyonez
I just bought a 1975 evinrude 6hp.
The motor "jumps" or "slips" out of forward gear when moving. Sometimes it'll hold for a couple of minutes, sometimes it's only 30 seconds.
I can hold the shifter forward and it's good, wonder if this would cause damage though?
I don't have to...
