Tohatsu makes Nissan and newer Mercs. Good motors, IMO.
The tiny mercs have been Jap tohatsus for probably 30yr.
Not true.They were still 2 stokes until about 2004 .I had an American made 15 HP 2004,but the question was are they any good.Yes they are.I have a Nissan 30HP.Not the same power as a two stroke,but runs forever on a tank of gas and throttles down for trolling very nicely.
