I had a 5 hp Nissan 2 stroke which was built by Tohatsu. Best outboard I
ever owned. Not a single problem, always started on first pull, or
second after being winterized over a few months. When I upgraded, they
didn't make a 2 stroke at 25hp, so I had to get a Yamaha. Second choice,
but it works well too, but not as good as the Nissan/Tohatsu.

Believe it or not my local dealer just told me that Nissan/Tohatsu are
bringing back a limited quantity of the 2-stroke 25hp's. Supposedly
getting a shipment of them here in the US within the next week or two. He
said something about them bringing it back for just a short time in limited
quantities (something to do with their "points" with the EPA due to the
number of clean DI and 4-stroke motors they've sold/produced...??) Anyway,
if you're interested in one of the best damn 25hp 2-strokes ever built you
might want to check to see if your dealer can get his hands on one of those
coming in. Awesome motor!

I have a 9.9Hp Nissan. It gets maybe 30 hours of use a year, and I have
had
it about 10 years. I have never done anything to it. Not even changed a
plug. It usually starts the first pull. It has been a great motor.


Rod

Same experience here on the Nissan!

Rod

the only negative I have to say about the nissan/tohatsu is that parts can be
difficult away from the us.

We spun a prop in the bahamas and to get a spare for our 9.8 it cost 200.00 to
have one shipped in.

My fault for not having a spare.
