Tohatsu Outboards

Used Outboards

Because of COVID, outboard motors (of any brand) have been difficult to buy...read on:

When the pandemic first came upon the scene, manufacturers shut down to protect their employees - hence production ceased. Outboards became a back order item and like boats, everyone wanted outboards, but dealers couldn't get their hands on them to sell to their customers.  Now that things have loosened up some, outboards are beginning to feed into the pipeline and we, like all dealers, are trying to get our hands on them with varying degrees of success. The demand for outboards remains the same and we are starting to fill orders. Those who wanted their outboard before spring launch placed their order with a deposit and now we are starting to get those orders filled and delivered as well as some outboards for stock.

Right now we are taking orders and in most cases we have been able to get the outboards in a relatively short period of time and slowly are getting some into stock. But our first priority is to fill orders for customers who know what they want and are putting in their order.  In some cases, depending on the outboard, we can get them within a week and in some cases, they might be on back order, but so far, the fill date isn't that far out.  But, you have to make up your mind.

Remember, dealers are ordering up stock, but the customer who commits to an outboard gets priority over a dealer who just wants to fill up their inventory. That is a good thing for our customers. The quickest way is to order up the outboard you want now and get it as soon as it becomes available.  If you wait, your order will just be further down the line and you will be waiting longer for delivery.  That's simply the nature of the beast.

TOHATSU makes over 85 different outboard variations from 2.5 HP to 250 HP, from 15" to 25" shafts, in Aqua Marine Blue or Beluga White, 4 stroke, jet and propane - depending on the HP.

We cannot list them all here, but we can discuss the best outboard for your purpose, including rigging kits and accessories.

 The most important reason to buy an outboard is dependability and no one combines technology and dependability like Tohatsu Marine!  Nissan is no longer. It's all Tohatsu now.

Hooper’s Yachts is proud to be a Tohatsu dealer. We can order in most other larger Tohatsu outboards, but we stock outboards that are perfect for use on sailboats and dinghies. Tohatsu has proven to be the best combination of technology and dependability and here are some reasons why:

- Every Tohatsu outboard is tank tested before it leaves the factory. Not spot checked, but water tank tested.

- For many years Tohatsu Marine carbureted 2-stroke outboards have been hailed as the most dependable outboards by experts - from marine editors highly respected for their knowledge of the entire industry to experienced mechanics who work on multiple brands.

- No technology is incorporated and put on the market until they are convinced that it is ready to deliver the same dependability for which Tohatsu Marine is famous.

TOHATSU 2-STROKE OUTBOARDS  

Tohatsu no longer makes 2-stroke engines.  But call, as sometimes we have used ones in stock.

We have told you that unmatched dependability has always been associated with Tohatsu Marine and their 4-strokes are no exception. A 4-stroke provides extraordinary fuel economy with no loss to power. A 4-stroke is also EPA friendly and Tohatsu outboards meet 2006 EPA Standards.
