Do any of you have those jack plates to help with the ride height of your motor?

I’ll probably be in the market for a new small motor for one or two of our jon boats. One of them has one, but it hasn’t run in over 15 years I think, so it may need some work. Are the Tohatsu’s pretty reasonable on price? You can definitely tell a difference on your wakes with it raised up a 1/2 inch.

Well, yes, they cost less than Mercury and much cheaper than Yamaha. (Tohatsu makes powerhead for Mercury.) They just launched a new 8.8/9.8 hp motor. The 9.9, 15 and 20 hp motors is all the same motor, same displacement. They just use timing, programming and a choke plate to get the lower horsepower level. That's how they keep the motors lower in cost. Every year prices rise about December or so. I bought mine from Backwoods landing: www.backwoodslanding.com/

I have 20 hp tohatsu and I use it on inflatable, its having difficulty getting my inflatable into plane with 2 ppl and it runs ton of water over the transom :/ ....How do I raise the motor if that's an issue?

@BlackWarriorLures Месяц назад

It sound like you don't have the motor properly trimmed. You need to move the brace bar in toward the transom by at least one notch. Then test to see. On my old 1957 Lone Star I had to move it forward two notches to get it to plain properly. I was wondering if you had an inflatable craft considering the problems you've had with oil leaks. What type/brand of inflatable do you have? The tech told me to loosen one side, raise it half an inch, then tighten it down. repeat with the other side.

I'll try to record a video n this help you out.

@BlackWarriorLures i tried different trim levels, and although it did helped with water spilling over transom, i had hard time getting to plane even with just me and a kid. I have saturn sd385, 13ft boat, its transom is slightly positioned at a slope (leaning backwards) by design which makes motor sit deeper in the water than if transom would be just in upright position

@BlackWarriorLures another qs, one of tohatsu recommended props is 9.2x7 all i could find was 9.25x7 ...do you know if .25 makes a difference?

@BlackWarriorLures Месяц назад

@@ia6980 Oh, I don't know much about props, but you might want to try a different prop.
