Love my 4 stroke 9.8 Tohatsu. Bought it used.
I believe it's the lightest weight of the 4 stroke 9.8 - 9.9 outboards.
Changed out original 7.5 pitch prop for a 9 pitch and picked up some speed for the 12 ft aluminum Meyers V bottom.
Years of reliable running. No repairs. I winterize it by unhooking the gas line, start it, pull the choke, burn the gas out of the carburetor.
Just installed elect start to make things easier for my 77 years however it's been a one or two pull starter for years.




BE STRONG IN THE LORD, AND IN HIS MIGHTY POWER. ~ Ephesians 6:10

Socialism is a philosophy of failure,
the creed of ignorance,
and the gospel of envy,
its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.
--Winston Churchill
