[QUOTE=Tfng;3753831]My 5hp Mercury can be laid down tiller down (shifter up). I carry it around for a spare and lay it down in the bow of the boat because I don't like how it clutters the back of the boat if I have it on the transom.

Isn't the Tohatsu a Mercury copy? Or is it a Yamaha copy?

Either way I was surprised to hear it can't be laid down. I'd look for more info on that.[/QUOT


Tohatsu makes all Evinrudes 15hp and down. Nissans are rebadged Tohatsu and 30hp and down Mercury outboard are all Tohatsu. In short Tohatsu is he second largest outboard manufacturer in the world. Decent motors from what I’ve read and a bit cheaper then the name brand models.
