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.
Installation
Single-engine Installation
Set engine at center of boat.

Twin-engine Installation
When installing two outboard engines, be sure to keep an interval of approximately 580mm (22.8 in) between the two.

Transom matching
1 Be sure that the anti ventilation plate of the outboard motor is 30-50mm (1.2-2 in) below the bottom of hull.
If the above condition cannot be met due to the shape of the bottom of your boat, please consult your authorized dealer.

2 To attach the outboard motor to the boat, tighten the clamp screws by turning their handles.
Also, use the bolts to secure the outboard motor brackets on transom board.
Secure the outboard motor with a rope to prevent loss overboard.
Note
A rope is not included in the standard accessories.



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.

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.
Notes
1 Apply sealing agent, such as silicone sealed between the bolts and the trans-som board holes before tightening the bolts.
2 Be sure to tighten the mounting bolt nuts to the specified torque. (30Nm (13ft·lb) 3.0kgf)

WARNING
- Mounting the outboard motor without following this manual can lead to unsafe conditions such as poor maneuverability, lack of control or fire.
- 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 (30Nm (13ft·lb) 3.0kgf). 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 30Nm (13ft·lb) 3.0kgf. 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.
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;
25: 5150 to 5850 rpm
30: 5200 to 5800 rpm
For genuine propellers, refer to PROPELLER TABLE (p. 50).
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 : | $0 |

Engine oil - gasoline mixing procedure
For quantities of engine oil and gasoline to be pre-mixed, refer to table in previous page.

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.
During operation of the outboard motor :
- Keep peripheral area well ventilated.
Always attempt to stay on the windward side of emission.
ENGINE OPERATION
1. Starting

WARNING
In case engine starts in gear, do not start cruising. Stop engine immediately and consult an authorized dealer.
Note
The engine will not start unless the switch lock has been properly connected into the emergency stop switch.

WARNING
Do not operate the engine with gear case out of water.
Severe personal injury, or engine damage will result.

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.
Preparations
1 Loosen the air vent screw on the tank cap.

2 Connect the fuel connector to the engine.

3 Install a lock in the stop switch.

4 Feed fuel to the carburetor by squeezing the primer bulb until firm.

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
Warm the engine at low engine speeds for about three minutes. This allows the lubricating oil to circulate to all parts of the engine. Operating the engine without warm up shortens the engine's life.
Be sure to check that cooling water is coming out of the cooling water check port during warm up.

CAUTION
If the engine is operated without water discharging from the check port or idle port, the engine may over heat.


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.
Engine speed
Idling speed after warming up.
Remark: In case of cold engine starting, idling speed is increased about 300 rpm for several minutes.
| Clutch in (In gear) | Clutch off (Out of gear) |
| 900rpm 1050rpm |
Propeller selection
Propeller must be selected that will allow the engine to reach recommended rpm when cruising at wide-open throttle.
| Model Wide-open throttle rpm range |
| 25H 5000 - 6000 rpm |
| 30H 5150 - 5850 rpm |
Genuine propellers are listed on PROPELLER TABLE of this manual.

3. Storing the outboard motor
Outboard motor should be stored in a vertical position.
Note
If the outboard motor must be laid down be sure the tiller handle faces down as shown in the drawing below.
Elevate power unit 2 inches to 4 inches if traveling to avoid oil spillage.


CAUTION
Do not carry or store outboard motor in any of positions described below. Otherwise, engine damage or property damage could result from leaking oil.

TRAILERING
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.
WARNING
When taking outboard motor from package or removing outboard motor from the boat, never release the lock lever. If the lock lever is released, it will very easy for the clamp bracket to spring up to the tilting direction because it is not fixed.
*Care must be taken so as not to release lock lever by accident.
*For more safety, tie the clamp bracket to the outboard motor with a rope.
*Pay attention to the tilting direction so as not to be injured by the springing stern bracket.
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.
CAUTION
When trailering the outboard motor should be in a vertical (normal running) position, fully down. Trailering 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.

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.
A If 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.

Note
The steering adjust bolt is used to adjust the sliding load of the steering, but not to fix the steering. If excess tightening given to the bolt may lead a cause of damage to the swivel bracket.

WARNING
Do not overtighten the throttle grip it could result in difficulty of movement resulting in the loss of control causing an accident and could lead to severe injury.
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
If outboard motor is used in salt water, brackish water or water with a high acidic level, use fresh water to remove salt, chemicals or mud from exterior and cooling water passage after every cruising or before storing outboard motor for long time. Before flushing, remove the propeller and the forward thrust holder.

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.
Use flushing plug.
1 Remove propeller (refer to Propeller Replacement). Remove the water plug from the outboard motor, and screw in the flushing plug.
2 Attach a water hose to the flushing plug. Turn on the water and adjust the flow. (Be sure to seal the water inlet and sub water inlet, located in the gear case, with tape)
3 Insert a hose connected to a water tap into the flushing plug and let the water running.
4 Put the shift lever in the neutral position and start the engine.
5 Make sure of cooling water flowing out of water pump indicator hole and continue engine running for 3 to 5 minutes.
6 Stop the engine and water supply. Remove the flushing plug and tape, and then reinstall the water plug and the propeller.


CAUTION
Keep engine at idle speed during flushing.
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 Remove the split pin, propeller nut and washer.
2 Remove the propeller and thrust holder.
3 Apply genuine grease to the propeller shaft before installing a new propeller.
4 Install the thrust holder, propeller, washer and propeller nut onto the shaft.
5 Install a new split pin into the nut hole and bend it.


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 Stop the engine.
2 Remove the top cowl.
3 Remove the spark plug caps.
4 Remove the spark plugs by turning it counter-clockwise, using a 21 mm (13/16 in) socket wrench and handle.
5 Attach spark plug and tighten to specified torque.
Use spark plugs NGK B7HS-10.

Notes
Spark plug torque : 27 Nm (20.2 ft-lb) (2.7 kgf-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.
Replacing the anode
A sacrificial anode protects the outboard motor from galvanic corrosion. Anode is located on the gear case and clamp bracket. When the anode is eroded more than 2/3, replace it.
Notes
- Never grease or paint the anode.
- At each inspection re-tighten the anode attaching bolt. As it is likely to be subjected to electrolytic corrosion.

Cleaning the fuel filters and the fuel tank
Fuel filters are provided inside the fuel tank and engine.
WARNING
Gasoline and its vapors are very flammable 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 authorized dealer for fuel system services. Services by unqualified person could lead to engine damage.
Fuel filter (for engine)
Remove the cap, then clean the fuel filter in the engine.

Fuel filter (for fuel tank)
Remove the fuel pickup elbow of the fuel tank by turning it counterclockwise and clean the fuel filter.

Fuel tank
Water or dirt in the fuel tank will cause engine performance problems.
Check and clean the tank at specified times or after the outboard motor has been stored for a long period of time (over three months).

Replacing gear oil
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.
INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE42
1 Remove the oil plugs (upper and lower), and completely drain the gear oil into a pan.

2 Insert the oil tube nozzle into the lower oil plug hole, and fill with gear oil by squeezing the oil tube until oil flows out of the upper plug hole.

CAUTION
Do not reuse oil plug gasket. Always use new gasket and tighten oil plug properly to prevent entry of water into lower unit.

3 Install the upper oil plug, and then remove oil tube nozzle and install the lower oil plug.

Note
If water in the oil, giving it a milky colored appearance. Contact your dealer.
Note
Use genuine gear oil or the recommended one (API GL-5: SAE #80 to #90).
Required volume
: approx. 280mL (0.07 U.S. sal.)
3. Off-season storage
Before you put your outboard motor in storage, it is a good opportunity to have it serviced and prepared by your dealer.

CAUTION
Before servicing the motor for storage:
- Remove the battery cables.
- Remove the spark plug caps from the spark plugs.
- Do not run the motor out of the water.
Engine
1 Wash the engine exterior and flush the cooling water system thoroughly with fresh water. Drain the water completely. Wipe off any surface water with an oily rag.
2 Use a dry cloth to completely wipe off water and salt from the electrical components.
3 Drain all fuel from the fuel hoses, fuel pump, and carburetor, and clean these parts.
Keep in mind that if gasoline is kept in the carburetor for a long time, gum and varnish will develop, causing the float valve to stick, restricting the fuel flow.
4 Remove the spark plugs and feed genuine engine oil or storage fogging oil in 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.
5 Change the gear oil in the gear case.
6 Apply grease to the propeller shaft.
7 Apply grease to all sliding parts, joints, nuts, and bolts.
8 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
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 winter storage.
1 Fill up the fuel tank completely with 25 liters (6.6 U.S. gals.)
Mixing ratio : Gasoline 25 : 1 Engine oil Use unleaded gasoline and genuine Outboard Motor Oil. If this oil is not available, use NMMA TC-W3 certified outboard motor oil.
2 Warm up the engine for 3 minutes in the "NEUTRAL" position.
3 Run the engine for 5 minutes at the slowest speed.
4 Run the engine for 10 minutes at half speed.
In Steps 2 and 3 above, the oil used for storage inside the engine will be flushed out to assure optimum performance.
