Tohatsu makes Nissan and newer Mercs. Good motors, IMO.
Agree! I have the 6 horse Nissan (Tohatsu) and it is a replica of the Merc. Also cost 1,000 less than the Merc, just because of the Nissan over-lable (hint-hint).
If you read the reviews on the Tohatsu, you will find no unhappy campers. Long-life and durability/dependability/low-cost.
