Frequently Asked Questions - MWX50D2 EverRun Tohatsu

What type of gasoline and what oil/gas mixing ratio should be used?

Use unleaded gasoline octane rating 87 (RON 91). The mixing ratio is 50:1 (50 parts gasoline to 1 part oil) with a two-stroke engine oil meeting TCW-III standard. During break-in (first 10 hours), use a ratio of 25:1.

How to start the engine cold?

Make sure the reverse lever is in neutral. Squeeze the primer bulb until resistance. Pull the choke knob fully. Pull the starter cord slowly until resistance, then pull sharply. Once the engine starts, push the choke back and reduce throttle to idle. Let it warm up for 3 minutes before engaging.

How to break in a new engine?

Break-in is performed over 10 hours with a rich mixture of 25:1. Follow this schedule: 0-10 min at idle, 10 min-2 h at less than 1/2 throttle, 2-3 h at less than 3/4 throttle, 3-10 h at 3/4 throttle with max RPM for 2 min every 10 min. After 10 h, use the 50:1 ratio and normal RPM.

Which propeller to choose?

The propeller must allow reaching the maximum RPM of 5150-5850 rpm at full throttle. Consult the propeller table based on load. Use only genuine Tohatsu propellers. A propeller too large or too small reduces performance and may damage the engine.

How to adjust the trim angle?

The trim angle is adjusted by positioning the stop rod in the holes of the bracket. The goal is for the boat to run parallel to the water surface. If the bow is too high, lower the angle; if it plows, increase it. First navigate at reduced speed to check stability.

How to maintain the engine after use in salt water?

Rinse the cooling system thoroughly with fresh water using the flushing attachment screwed onto the gear case. Run the engine at idle while flushing. Clean the exterior and wipe all surfaces. Grease moving parts and check the anodes.

When and how to change the gear oil?

Change the gear oil every 100 hours or once a year. Remove the top and bottom plugs, drain the old oil. Fill through the bottom plug with API GL5 SAE 80-90 oil until it comes out of the top hole. Install new plugs with new gaskets. Quantity: approx. 500 ml (X) or 700 ml (WX).

What to do if the engine is submerged?

Immediately remove the engine from the water. Rinse with fresh water. Remove the spark plugs and drain water by turning the flywheel. Inject engine oil through the spark plug holes and turn several times. Do not attempt to start. Take the engine to a Tohatsu dealer for a complete inspection.

How to winterize the engine?

Clean and rinse the engine. Drain the carburetor and fill the fuel tank with gasoline treated with a stabilizer. Remove the spark plugs and pour a little oil into the cylinders. Grease the propeller shaft. Change the gear oil. Store the engine upright in a dry place.

What are the symptoms of overheating and how to remedy it?

Symptoms: no water from the tell-tale, RPM drop, hot smell. Stop the engine immediately. Check that the water intake is not blocked. If the problem persists, consult the troubleshooting chart (section 10) or contact a dealer. Do not run the engine out of water without cooling water.

INSTALLATION

1. Mounting the outboard motor on boat

WARNING

Most boats are rated and certified in terms of their maximum allowable horsepower, as shown on the boat's certification plate. Do not equip your boat with an outboard motor that exceeds this limit. If in doubt, contact your dealer.

Do not operate the outboard motor until it has been securely mounted on the boat in accordance with the instructions below.

Note

Consult your authorized dealer to receive the proper instructions or ask your dealer to mount the motor as necessary.

Installation

Single-engine Installation

Position the outboard engine at the exact center of the stern, and mount it using a cushioning pad or plate.

Twin-engine Installation

When installing two outboard engines, be sure to keep an interval of approximately 470 - 660 mm (18.5 - 26 in) between the two.

CAUTION

• Before beginning the running test, check that the boat with maximum capacity loading floats on the water in a proper attitude. Check the position of water surface on the driveshaft housing. If the water surface is near the bottom cowling, in high waves, water may enter the engine cylinders.
• Incorrect outboard motor mounting height or existence of underwater object(s), such as hull bottom design, bottom surface conditions or underwater accessories, can cause water spray possibly reaching the engine through an opening of the bottom cowling during cruising. Exposing engine to such conditions for extended periods can lead to severe engine damage.

Transom Height

Install the engine with the Anti-ventilation Plate at a level 10 30mm (0.4~1.2in.) below the bottom of the boat.

Transom Matching

Be sure that anti ventilation plate of the outboard is below the water surface when running with wide open throttle.

In case the above condition cannot be met due to the shape of your boat, please consult your authorized dealer.

CAUTION

Overheating may occur if the Anti-ventilation Plate is at a level higher than the bottom of the boat, as a result of a lack of cooling water.

If the height difference exceeds 10 30mm (0.4~1.2 in) engine power performance is likely to be reduced as a result of increased water resistance to the gear case assembly.

- Attaching the Clamp Bracket

After positioning the Clamp Bracket, fix it with clamp screw then drill four holes in the transom board, matching the holes in the Clamp Bracket. Secure the engine with the supplied bolts (M12 x 105mm) and nuts. Be sure to use the washers. Use the larger diameter washers inside of the transom board and use the small diameter washers outside of the clamp bracket.

The mounting holes may be drilled beforehand by referring to the dimensional drawing.

WARNING

• Mounting the outboard motor without following this manual can lead to unsafe conditions such as poor maneuverability, going out of control or fire disaster.
• Loose clamp screws and/or mounting bolts can lead to the release or displacement of the outboard motor, possibly resulting in lost of control and/or serious personal injury. Be sure that fasteners are tightened to the specified torque (30 Nm (3.0kgf) 13ft-lb). Check the fasteners for tightness from time to time.
• Be sure to use outboard mounting fasteners included in the outboard motor package or their equivalents in terms of size, material, quality and strength. Tighten fasteners to the specified torque (30 Nm (3.0kgf) 13ft·lb). Test cruise to check if fasteners are tightened securely.
• Outboard motor mounting must be performed by trained service person(s) using lift or hoist with sufficient capacity.

Clamp Bracket Dimensional Drawing

Manual tilting type

CAUTION

Mounting bolts should be installed with the bolt head at inside surface of the transom. Mounting bolts installed with the threaded end at the inside surface of the transom can cause personal injury.

2. Propeller Selection

A propeller must be selected so that the engine rpm measured at wide open throttle while cruising is within the max. operating range; 5,150 to 5,850 rpm

For genuine propellers, refer to PROPELLER TABLE (p. 57).

PRE-OPERATING PREPARATIONS

DANGER

Consult an authorized dealer for details on handling of gasoline, if necessary.

Gasoline and its vapors are very flammable and can be explosive.

When carrying a fuel tank containing gasoline:

• Close the air vent screw of fuel tank cap, or gasoline vapor will be emitted through the air vent screw, creating a fire hazard.
• Do not smoke.

When or before refueling :

• Stop the engine, and do not start the engine during refueling.
• Do not smoke.
• Be careful not to overfill fuel tank. Wipe up any spilled gasoline immediately.

When or before cleaning the gasoline tank :

• Dismount fuel tank from the boat.
• Place the fuel tank away from every source of ignition, such as sparks or open flames.
• Do the work outdoors or in well ventilated area.
• Wipe up any spilled gasoline immediately.

After cleaning gasoline tank :

• Wipe up any spilled gasoline immediately.
• If the fuel tank is disassembled for cleaning, reassemble carefully. Imperfect assembly may cause a fuel leak, possibly leading to fire or explosion.
• Dispose of aged or contaminated gasoline in accordance with local regulations.

1. Recommended gasoline types

CAUTION

Use of low-quality gasoline results in a short engine life as well as starting difficulties and other engine problems.

We recommend use for Fuel stabilizer.

Use of unleaded gasoline

Use a major brand of automotive unleaded gasoline with a minimum posted octane rating of 91RON. Automotive gasoline that contain fuel injector cleaner are preferred for added internal engine cleanliness. Leaded gasoline is acceptable in areas where unleaded gasoline is not available.

Use of alcohol free gasoline

CAUTION

Use of gasoline containing alcohol can cause engine starting and/or operating difficulties, wear of and damages to engine parts, and deterioration of chemical parts, which may lead to shortening of your outboard motor's life.

Note

The adverse effect caused by the alcohol content is more severe with methanol than with ethanol.

TOHATSU recommend the use of gasoline if its ethanol content is less than 10% or methanol content is less than 5% , only in case alcohol free gasoline is not available.

The alcohol component of the gasoline absorbs moisture from the air, which may disturb regular fuel flow in the fuel system, and also accelerate rusting of engine parts.

Mixing of the moisture in the engine oil can also deteriorate the properties of the lubricant.

If the use of gasoline containing alcohol is inevitable, or presence of alcohol is suspected in the gasoline, it is strongly recommended to add a filter that has water separating capability, and check the fuel system for leaks and mechanical parts for corrosion and abnormal wear more frequently.

And, in case any of such abnormality is found, discontinue the use of such gasoline and contact our dealer immediately.

Damages resulting from the use of gasolines that contain alcohol are not covered under the limited warranty.

Fuel tank capacity : 25 liters (6.6 U.S. gal)

Fuel Tank : When using a fixed fuel tank in place of genuine fuel tank, it is recommended to select a one with a structure facilitating interior cleaning.

WARNING

Do not fill the fuel tank over capacity. The rise of gasoline temperature may cause gasoline to expand which, if overfilled, may leak through air vent screw when it is open. Leaking gasoline is a dangerous fire hazard.

2. Recommended engine oil

Use a genuine engine oil or recommended one (TCW3). Refer to your Distributor.

Will not recommend use of other two stroke engine oil.

CAUTION

Do not mix different brands of oil. Mixing different brands of oil, or different types of oil even if the brand is the same, may cause gelling, resulting in possible filter screen blockage. This could result in serious engine damage because of impaired lubrication performance.

Note

Use of engine oils that do not meet these requirements will result in reduced engine life, and other engine problems.

Add engine oil into fuel oil tank. The mixing ratio with gasoline is 1:50 (one part oil and 50 parts gasoline). Mix well by hand. The mixing ratio during break-in running is 1:25.

Mixing Ratio

	Engine Oil : Gasoline
During break-in 1 :	25
After break-in 1 :	50

Engine oil - gasoline mixing procedure

For quantities of engine oil and gasoline to be pre-mixed, refer to table in Recommended engine oil (p. 17).

CAUTION

• Do not use other than two stroke engine oil with specified grade, or the engine may be damaged.

• Do not use fuel prepared in other than specified mixing ratio.

• Lack of engine oil can cause severe engine trouble such as piston seizure.

• Excess of engine oil can shorten spark plug life, and/or cause increase of noxious exhaust.

• When portable fuel tank is used for operation of outboard motor(s):

1 Pour engine oil into fuel tank, and then, gasoline.
2 Put cap on the tank, and close tightly.
3 Close air vent plug tightly.

WARNING

Loose cap or air vent plug can cause leak of fuel during shaking the tank.

4 Shake the tank to mix engine oil and gasoline well and even.
- When fuel tank built in the boat is used for operation of outboard motor(s):
1 Prepare separate fuel container for premixing.

2 Pour engine oil into fuel container, and then, gasoline.
3 Put cap on the container, and close tightly.
4 Shake the container to mix engine oil and gasoline well and even.
5 Pour the mixture into fuel tank.

Notes

It is recommended to pre-mix by using separate fuel container. Attempting to pre-mix in the fuel tank built-in the boat can make the mixture uneven.
- If built-in fuel tank is used for mixing, pour engine oil into the tank little by little while putting gasoline into the tank.

3. Break-in

Your new outboard motor and lower unit require break-in for the moving components according to the conditions described in the following time table.

CAUTION

Operating the outboard motor without break-in can shorten service life of the product.

If any abnormality is experienced during the break-in:

• Discontinue the operation immediately.
• Have the dealer check the product and take proper action(s) if necessary.

	1-10min	10min-2hrs	2-3hrs	3-10hrs	After 10hrs
Throttle Position	Idle	Less than 1/2 throttle	Less than 3/4 throttle	3/4 throttle	Full throttle available
Speed		Approx. 3,000 rpm max	Full throttle run allowed for 1 min every 10 min	Approx. 4,000 rpm. Full throttle run allowed for 2 min every 10 min

Note

Proper break-in allows outboard motor to deliver it full performance for longer service life.

Fuel mix ratio for break-in

Gasoline 25: Genuine Engine Oil 1

25:1 when using genuine engine oil or the recommended one (TCW3).

DANGER

Do not operate the outboard motor in closed area or area with no forced ventilation.

Exhaust gas emitted by this outboard motor contains carbon monoxide that will cause death if inhaled continuously. Inhaling the gas initially causes symptoms such as feeling of sickness, drowsiness and headache.

WARNING

• Be sure that no bystander(s) is within 2 meters from back of starting operator.
• Do not operate the outboard motor with top cowl removed from the power unit, or contacting turning flywheel which can lead to serious personal injury.

2. Warming up the engine

Before driving the boat, let the engine run at low speed for approximately three minutes to let it warm and allow the oil to circulate through the machine. If the engine is not warmed up beforehand, the engine life will shorten greatly. During the warm-up operation, confirm that cooling water is discharged from the check port and idle port.

CAUTION

Be sure to warm up engine well before starting cruise. Operating cold engine can give damage to it.

Note

Idle speed may be higher during warming up of engine. If shifted to Forward or reverse during warming up, it may be difficult to shift back to neutral. In such case, stop engine, shift to neutral, and restart engine to warm up.

CAUTION

Be sure to stop engine immediately if cooling water check port is not discharging water, and check if cooling water intake is blocked. Operating engine could lead to overheating potentially leading to engine damage. Consult an authorized dealer if the cause cannot be found.

WARNING

• Attach other end of emergency stop switch tether to the operator's clothing or arm and keep it attached during cruising.
• Do not attach the tether to a part of clothing that can be torn easily when pulled.
• Arrange the tether so that will not be caught by any object when pulled.
• Be careful not to pull the tether accidentally during cruising. Unintentional stop of engine can cause loss of control of outboard motor. Rapid loss of engine power can lead to falling down or causing passenger(s) to be thrown over board.

WARNING

Be sure to connect the emergency tethered stop hook to your waist or clothing.

The engine will shut down when the switch lock becomes disconnected from the engine.

Note

Do not increase engine speed unnecessarily in reverse.

F type

Turn the throttle grip toward "SLOW" and move the Shift Lever quickly to Forward or Reverse when the engine speed has reached the lowest rpm.

WARNING

Severe damage, and personal injury, may occur if shifting at high engine speed.

Engine must be in the slow idle position before shifting is attempted.

WARNING

Before shifting, make sure that no swimmer(s) or obstacle(s) is ahead or astern of the boat.

CAUTION

• Before moving the Shift Lever to Reverse, make sure the Reverse Lock is engaged (in up position).

• Do not increase the engine speed unnecessarily while reversing.
• The Shift Lever cannot be turned from Neutral to Reverse unless the throttle grip has been turned fully toward "SLOW".

Note

Frequent shifting to forward or reverse can accelerate wear or degradation of parts. In such case, replace gear oil earlier than the period specified.

4. Shallow water running

WARNING

During shallow water operation, be careful not to place your hand between the swivel bracket and the stern bracket. Be sure to tilt the outboard down slowly.

Note

Slow down to trolling speed, and shift into neutral before setting outboard motor to shallow water drive position.

WARNING

• Run at lowest possible speed during cruising using shallow water drive.
• Tilt lock is disabled when in shallow water drive position.
• When driving shallow water, be careful not to strike outboard motor against sea bottom, or propeller may be pushed out of water, resulting in loss of control.

CAUTION

While in shallow water drive position, do not operate the outboard in reverse. Operate the outboard at slow speed and keep the cooling water intake submerged.

F type

1 Set the Reverse Lock Lever provided on the starboard side to "Release" by turning it downward.

2 Tilt the engine up approx.

45^ and lower it. The engine will now beset to the shallow water setting.

3 Releasing the shallow water setting

a. Turn the Reverse Lock Lever upward to set them in "LOCK" position.
b. Tilt up the engine slightly and then let it go down. The shallow water setting is then released.
c.The engine is released from shallow water setting, and locked at normal running position.

5. Stopping the engine

WARNING

• Do not shift into Reverse during planning, or control will be lost leading to serious personal injury, boat may swamp, and/or hull may be damaged.
• Do not shift into Reverse during cruising, or control may be lost, falling down or causing passenger(s) to be thrown overboard. Leading to serious personal injury, and steering system and/or shifting mechanism may be damaged.

CAUTION

Never stop the engine immediately after a full throttle run. Keep it running for two or three minutes at idling speed (Shift Lever set to Neutral) to allow it to cool down.

F type

1 Reduce the engine speed to idling rpm.
2 Keep pressing on the Stop Switch or pull out the lock plate/ The engine will then stop.

Notes

After stopping the engine, close the air vent screw on the tank cap.
- Disconnect the fuel connector of the engine or the fuel tank.
- Disconnect the cables from the battery if the engine will not be used for an extended period of time.

3 Disconnect the fuel connector from the engine.

CAUTION

Never fill up portable fuel tanks on board to avoid fire or explosion resulting from spilled gasoline. If gasoline is ever spilled on board, wipe it up thoroughly. Fuel tanks must always be filled up on land.

4 Close the air vent screw on the fuel tank cap.

6. Trim angle

The following instructions explain how to set the best trim angle of the boat.

F type

The trim angle is adjusted by setting the thrust rod in the correct thrust rod hole.

Proper trim angle

The trim angle is optimum when the boat is parallel to the water surface while running.

Improper trim angle (bow rises too high)

If the trim angle is excessive, the bow will rise out of the water and the speed will decrease.

Furthermore, the bow may sway or the bottom may slam the water while cruising.

In this case, decrease the trim angle by setting the thrust rod in a lower hole.

Improper Trim Angle (bow dips into the water)

If the trim angle is too small, the bow will dip into water, the speed will decrease, and water may enter the boat.

In this case, the trim angle should be increased by setting the thrust rod in a higher hole.

WARNING

• Do not put hand or finger in between outboard motor body and clamp bracket when adjusting trim angle to prevent injury in case the outboard motor body falls.
• Unsuitable trim position can cause loss of control of boat.

When testing a trim position, run boat slow initially to see if it can be controlled safely.

WARNING

Excessive trim up or down may lead to unstable boat operation, potentially causing the steering difficulty that leads to accident during cruising.

• Do not cruise at high speed if improper trim position is suspected. Stop the boat and readjust trim angle before continuing cruise.
• For outboard motor model with PTT switch on the bottom cowl, do not operate the switch during cruising, or control of boat may be lost.

7. Mooring with the engine tilted up

When the engine has been stopped and it will not be used for a long time or when mooring in shallow water, tilt the engine up to prevent damage to the propeller and gear case.

1 Disconnect the fuel connector from the engine.

2 Set the Reverse Lock Lever on the starboard side to "RELEASE" by turning it downward.

3 Tilt the engine up entirely. The tilt will lock in the raised position.

WARNING

• Do not put hand or finger in between outboard motor body and clamp bracket when adjusting trim angle to prevent the body parts from being caught in case the outboard motor body falls.
• When tilting up outboard motor with fuel joint for over a few minutes, be sure to disconnect fuel hose or close fuel cock, or fuel may leak, potentially catching fire.

CAUTION

Do not tilt up outboard motor during operation, or engine may be damaged from overheating because of no feed of cooling water.

4 To tilt the engine down, Turn the Reverse Lock Lever upward (toward "LOCK"). Tilt the engine up slightly and then let it go down. (The Reverse Lock will be set automatically.)

REMOVING AND CARRYING THE OUTBOARD MOTOR

1. Removing the outboard motor

1 Stop the engine.
2 Disconnect the fuel connector, the remote control cables, the battery cords, bracket fixing bolts and nuts etc.
3 Remove the outboard motor from the hull and completely drain the water from the gear case.

CAUTION

Do not carry the outboard motor immediately after stopping engine when they are so hot that they burn hands if touched.

2. Carrying the outboard motor

Be sure to keep the engine vertical whenever you carry the outboard motor.

WARNING

Close air vent screw of fuel tank and fuel cock before carrying or storing outboard motor and fuel tank, or fuel may leak, potentially catching fire.

When carrying or putting the engine up for storage, make sure the side with the electric motor of the Power Trim and Tilt is down otherwise air will enter the pump system for the Power Trim and Tilt operation.

Note

If you can not carry the engine in an upright position, loosen the drain screw on the carburetors to drain fuel from them.

CAUTION

Beware of explosion danger. Spilled and vapored gasoline may easily catch fire and explode. Be sure to silly discharge gasoline from the carburetors when transporting the engine. Wipe off spilled gasoline with a rag.

3. Storing the outboard motor

Keep the motor in a vertical position when you store it.

Note

If you store the motor in a horizontal position, lay the motor as shown in figure above.

WARNING

When taking the motor from package or removing the motor from the boat, never release the lock lever. If the lock lever is released, it will be very easy the clamp bracket to spring up to the tilting direction because it is not fixed.

• Tie the clamp bracket to the outboard with a rope.
• Pay attention to the tilting direction so as not to be injured by the springing clamp bracket.

WARNING

Do not go under outboard motor tilted up even if it is supported by support bar, or accidental fall of outboard motor could lead to severe personal injury.

WARNING

Close air vent screw of fuel tank and fuel cock before carrying or storing outboard motor and fuel tank, or fuel may leak, potentially catching fire.

TRAILERING

CAUTION

When trailing the outboard motor should be in a vertical (normal running) position, fully down. Trailing in the tilted position may cause damage to the outboard motor, boat, etc.

If trailing with outboard motor fully down is not available (the gear case skeg is too close to the road in a vertical position), fix the outboard motor securely using a device (like a transom saver bar) in the tilted position.

CAUTION

The tilt support device supplied on your outboard motor is not intended for trailing. It is intended to support the outboard motor while the boat is docked, beached, etc.

WARNING

Please disconnect fuel connector except when operating engine.

Fuel leakage is a fire or explosion hazard, which can cause serious injury or death.

ADJUSTMENT

1. Trim tab adjustment

Adjustment of trim tab angle

After installing outboard motor on the boat, use trim tab to achieve balance between port and starboard steering loads. Loosen trim tab nut, adjust angle of trim tab as described below, and then tighten the nut to specified torque.

8

Example of Adjustment

To keep your outboard motor in the best operating condition, it is very important that you perform daily and periodic maintenance as suggested in the maintenance schedules that follow.

AIf it is necessary to steer to port to make boat run straight or if boat steers itself to port when steering is held amidships, move trailing edge of trim tab to port side, or
If it is necessary to steer to port to make boat run straight or if boat steers itself to starboard when steering is held amidships, move trailing edge of trim tab to starboard side.

Notes

• Change trim tab angle a little for each test run and repeat the process several times until the best position is found.
• The trim tab also acts as an anode to prevent electrolytic corrosion. Therefore do not paint or grease this part.
  After adjustment securely tighten the trim tab fixing bolt.
• Check for looseness of the bolt and the trim tab at regular intervals. Due to corrosion, the trim tab will wear down over time.

WARNING

• Inappropriate adjustment of trim tab could cause steering difficulty. After installing or readjusting trim tab, check if steering load is even.
• Tighten trim tab bolt to specified torque.

WARNING

• Be sure that outboard motor is secured to transom or service stand, or accidental drop or fall of outboard motor could lead to severe personal injury.
• Be sure to lock outboard motor if it is tilted up, or accidental fall of outboard motor could lead to severe personal injury.
• Do not go under outboard motor tilted up and locked, or accidental fall of outboard motor could lead to severe personal injury.

2. Steering load adjustment

Steering load can be adjusted by turning the steering adjust bolt on the Swivel Bracket.

Turn clockwise to increase load

Turn counter-clockwise to decrease the load

3. Throttle grip turning load adjustment

Turn the friction adjustment screw on the steering handle to adjust the turning load of the throttle grip.

WARNING

Do not increase throttle friction excessively, or heavy movement of throttle grip or remote control lever movement could cause loss of throttle control potentially leading to accident.

Washing with fresh water

When the engine has been used in salt water or polluted water, wash the exterior and flush the cooling passage with fresh water using the flushing attachment.

Screw the included flushing attachment into the wash hole on the gear case.

Connect a water hose to the flushing attachment and flush out with water.

( Be sure to secure the water inlet and subwater inlet on the gear case beforehand.)

CAUTION

Keep cooling water passage free of clogs, or lack of cooling water flow could lead to engine overheating, potentially resulting in engine trouble.

WARNING

Do not start engine without removing propeller, or accidentally turning propeller could cause personal injury.

WARNING

Never start or operate the engine indoors or in any space which is not well ventilated. Exhaust gas contains carbon monoxide, a colorless and odorless gas which can be fatal if inhaled for any length of time.

Note

It is recommended to check chemical properties of water on which your outboard motor is regularly used.

Flushing plug (Optional)

Flushing plug (Optional)

CAUTION

Keep engine at idle speed during flushing.

Wash the engine before long-term storage. Run the engine at low speed with the Remote Control lever (or Shift lever) set to Neutral to flush out fresh water from the cooling system and in the process remove salt, mud and other foreign particles.

Replacing the propeller

A worn-out or bent propeller will lower the motor's performance, and cause engine trouble.

Before removing the propeller, remove the spark plug caps from the spark plugs to protect against personal injury.

WARNING

Do not begin propeller removal and installation procedure with spark plug caps attached, shift in forward or reverse, main switch at other than "OFF", engine stop cord attached to the switch, and starter key attached, or engine could accidentally start leading to serious personal injury. Disconnect battery cable if possible.

1 Pull out the split pin and remove the propeller nut and washer.
2 Remove the propeller by pulling toward you.
3 Apply genuine grease to the propeller shaft before mounting the new propeller
4 Fit the washer, securely tighten the nut and insert the split pin.

WARNING

Do not hold propeller with hand(s) when loosening or tightening propeller nut. Put a piece of wood block between propeller blade and anti-ventilation plate to hold propeller.

CAUTION

• Do not install propeller without thrust holder, or propeller boss could be damaged.
• Do not reuse split pin.
  After putting split pin, open the end to prevent it from coming off which could lead to coming off of propeller.

Replacing the spark plugs

WARNING

• Do not reuse spark plug with damaged insulation, or sparks can leak through crack, potentially leading to electric shock, explosion and/or fire.
• Do not touch spark plugs immediately after stopping engine as they will be hot and could cause severe burns if touched. Allow motor to cool down first.

Note

When inspecting the plug, always clean the gasket surface and use a new gasket. Wipe off any dirt from the threads and screw in the spark plug to the correct torque.

If the spark plug(s) is fouled, has carbon build up, or is worn, it should be replaced. When reusing spark plugs, remove dirt from the electrodes and adjust spark gap to specification.

1 Remove the top cowl.
2 Remove the spark plugs by turning counter-clockwise with the socket wrench (21 mm: 13/16 in) fitted with the handle. Tap lightly on the spark plugs if they are hard to turn.

Use spark plug NGK B8HS-10.

Notes

• Spark plug torque : 27.0Nm (20ft-lb) (2.7kgf-m)

If a torque-wrench is not available when you are fitting a spark plug, a good estimate of the correct torque is 1/4 to

1/2 a turn past finger-tight. Have the spark plug adjusted to the correct torque as soon as possible with a torque-wrench.

CAUTION

Do not touch the high tension cords running from the ignition coil to the spark plugs while the engine is running or is turned by the electric starter motor, not even for testing the high tension cords or the spark plugs.

The high tension cords and the spark plugs generate very high electric voltage, which can cause a serious electric shock if touched.

Cleaning tanks and filters

WARNING

Gasoline and its vapors are very inflammable and can be explosive.

• Do not start this procedure while engine is operating or hot even after stopping it.
• Place fuel filter away from every source of ignition such as sparks or open flames.
• Wipe off gasoline well immediately if spilled.
  Install fuel filter with all related parts in place, or fuel leak could occur, leading to catching fire or explosion.
• Check fuel system regularly for leakage.

• Contact Tohatsu dealer for fuel system services. Services by unqualified person could lead to engine damage.

• Fuel filters are provided inside the fuel tank and on the engine.

Loosen a Fuel Pick-up Elbow and remove it. Then clean the Fuel Filter.

• Cleaning Fuel Tank

Water or dirt in the fuel tank may cause engine trouble.

Clean the tank at specified times or after long time storage (over three months).

• Clean the filters on the engine after removing the fuel filter cases.

3. Off-season storage

WARNING

• When the motor is out of the water, being transported, or in storage, always remove the negative (-) battery cable to prevent accidental starting of the engine. Accidental starting when the motor is out of the water will cause water pump failure, overheating and damage to the engine due to a lack of cooling water.
  DO NOT disconnect the electrical harness when operating the motor. This model will continue to run and can be started with the electrical harness disconnected. Remove all spark plug connectors from the spark plugs when servicing the engine or propeller.

When your outboard motor is in storage, this is a good opportunity to have it serviced or overhauled by your dealer.

Engine

1 Wash the engine exterior and flush the cooling water system thoroughly with fresh water. Let the water drain completely.

Wipe off any surface water with an oily rag.

2 Drain all fuel from the fuel pipes, fuel pump and carburetor, and clean these parts. To prevent corrosion of the fuel tank, fill it up with engine oil-rich gasoline.

Keep in mind that if gasoline is kept in the carburetor for a long time, gum and varnish will be generated, causing the float valve to stick.

3 Remove the spark plugs and feed genuine engine oil or storage fogging oil through the spark plug holes.

The oil will be fed into the crank case from the air silencer attached to the carburetors. Turn the engine over several times while feeding the oil into it and make sure it is evenly distributed.

4 Apply grease to the propeller shaft.
5 Change the gear oil in the gear case.
6 Apply grease to all sliding parts, joints, nuts, and bolts.
7 Use a dry cloth to completely wipe off water and salt from the electrical components.
8 Remove the fuel connector from the engine.
9 Stand the outboard motor up vertically in a dry place.

WARNING

Be sure to use cloth to remove fuel remaining in the cowl and dispose of it in accordance with local fire prevention and environment protection regulations.

4. Pre-season check

Have your dealer check the engine before the season starts, or if your prefer, be sure to check the following items yourself:

1 Check that the shift and throttle function properly.

(Be sure to turn the propeller shaft when checking the shift function or else the shift linkage may be damaged.)

CAUTION

The following steps must be taken when first using the engine after pre-season storage.

• Mix engine oil with the fuel in the following mixing ratio and fill up the fuel tank completely with 25 liters (6.6 U.S. gal.): Mixing ratio : Gasoline 25 : 1 Engine oil Use unleaded gasoline and genuine Outboard Motor oil. If this oil is not available, use another NMMA TC-W3 certified outboard motor oil from another manufacture.
• Purge any air from the oil filter assembly.
• Warm up the engine for 3 minutes with the remote control lever in "NEUTRAL" position.
• Run the engine for 5 minutes at the slowest speed.
• Run the engine for 10 minutes at the half speed.

In steps 2 and 3 above, the oil used for winter storage inside the engine will be cleaned out, and optimum performance will be assured.

• When the full volume, 25 liters (6.6 U.S. gal.), of gasoline mixed with oil has been used, fill up the tank with pure gasoline only. (For the auto-mixing types)

5. Checking after striking underwater object

Striking sea bottom or underwater object may severely damage the outboard motor. Immediately bring the outboard motor to your dealer and ask for the following checks.

1 Looseness or damage of power unit installation bolts, gear case and extension case bolts, propeller or propeller shaft, upper and lower mount rubber bolts and nuts, power trim and tilt bolts, and mount rubber cap bolts.

Ask to tighten loose bolts and nuts, and to replace damaged parts.

2 Deformation and damage of mount rubber, tilt stopper, thrust rod, gears and clutch, and propeller.

Ask to replace damaged or deformed parts.

6. If the engine becomes submerged in water

After pick up, immediately bring the outboard to your dealer.

Following are the emergency measures to be taken on the submerged outboard.

1 Take it out of water immediately and wash it with fresh water to remove all traces of salt and dirt.

2 Remove the spark plugs, and drain the engine completely of water.

Turn the flywheel several times, using the starter rope.

3Inject a liberal amount of genuine engine oil or storage fogging oil into the engine through the spark plug holes and the air silencer.

Turn the flywheel several times with the starter rope while injecting the oil to make sure the oil is evenly distributed.

4 After the above steps, it is still possible for the internal engine parts to be damaged. The electrical components and carburetors will soon deteriorate and become inoperative. Therefore, be sure to have the engine completely overhauled by a service shop immediately.

CAUTION

Do not attempt to start submerged outboard motor immediately after it is recovered, or engine could be severely damaged.

7. Precautions in cold weather

When morning in cold weather at sub-zero temperatures the water in the cooling water pump may freeze and severely damage the pump, impeller, and associated parts. To avoid this, submerge the lower half of the engine into the water, or tilt the engine up above water level and the recoil starter several times to drain the water completely.
