Tohatsu Outboards

[Mark]

Finster, you have it reversed: Tohatsu makes Nissan engines for the U.S. market. Much the same way that Izusu made small Chevy LUV trucks for Chevrolet at one point in the early 80's.

They are a company with a long tradition of supplying commercial engines to Japanese fishermen. The notion that they have been around for 40 years would not surprise me in the least.

I've had a smaller one on a dingy for ten years now and it is simply indestructable.

I fished with one person who had twin Tohatsu 140's on a 23' and could not say enough good things about them. No problems whatsoever.
