BR, all i see is a red x. but i have a 4 year old tohatsu 40 on a 13 ft whaler and have enjoyed it so far. as far as i can tell it is a very simple motor with very simple maintenance. i know they have fuel injected models, but mine is a carb model. i went from a 30 hp mariner(yamaha) to this 40 hp and three carbs instead of one, so it burns more gas, but on this skiff, that is not much of a factor. i use the oil injection, but as far as i know the only warning you get if it fails is a locked motor. if your talking about larger hp, i haven't heard much good or bad...

Phat - The red X is a '88 or '89 40 hp Nissan ob hanging on the tranny of a 14' mckee craft of about the same year. Everything I'm seeing & hearing is these are not bad motors. RB is right on with the premix.
