2018 Tohatsu 6hp outboard unboxing and initial break in

[@gaycha6589]

Shiny, shiny new toy. Lovely.

[@ErickMartinSucre]

Hey thanks for watching! It's still kinda shiny but I have put quite a few hours in it the last 2 years of owning it.

[@jif.6821]

Aloha from Hawai'i Erick, Mahalo nui for this video. I just received my new Tohatsu 6 hp motor yesterday, and I'm looking up break-in videos, and found yours. I'm putting my motor into a bucket for at least the initial 10 minute break in right after this. I also own a 2.5 hp Suzuki for 10 years now which was very reliable but it was a tad slow. This 6 hp should get me into the fishing grounds much faster. Best wishes to you and your family. Aloha a hui hou.

[@ErickMartinSucre]

Hey Aloha 8-) I am glad you found this video useful. The motor is quite capable indeed.

That's awesome!! They are sweet little motors

[@horsedikdotmpeg1]

Tohatsu also made the Nissan as well as mercury.I've had mine since 2004.You should get near 8 hrs to gallon trolling.Basically,the motor will pay for itself with fuel savings.Now with close to 4000 hrs,she's burning oil but still fires up on 1st pull.Fine motors.I'm looking for another one to replace my original.

[@ErickMartinSucre]

Congrats!! Great little motor.

[@daviddiehl4098]

Great video review it helped me make my decision and I also went with this motor. Just to point out that spare rope it comes with is an emergency starter rope and in the manual it shows how to remove recoil starter and use but is the same rope so to each there own. But mine says the 10 min break in must be in water in gear under load at idle 10 min. Doing it your way did you have any issues later on ? Don't seem to be much different other than gently wearing in motor and gear at same time maybe 🤔

[@ErickMartinSucre]

Well, 200+ hours, 3 years later, the motor still going strong. Had to change the impeller last year.

It took over countless amount of pulls ~200 pulls if not more? for my brand new 2024 6hp tohatsu outboard to start, it was a struggle. I wonder if that's just a bad lemon.

[@ErickMartinSucre]

That's because you are using the internal gas tank. It would be a good idea to invest in a 3 gallon external tank. You can prime the fuel system at will with it.

[@ia6980]

@ErickMartinSucre good to know! Ive bought one later, didn't know it could be the problem, thanks!

Looks good. We are going to buy 5hp Tohatsu. It should be very reliable motor.

It is indeed. Never failed me

[@kaavest]

I have one 25 four stroke in ten years, never stop and one impeller after 9 years.Stolen at the end, no i stick to a little dinghy again so can take the boat in where i live trough a little channel.

[@thewildshot5395]

Tried starting my 2021 model today. It’s not wanting to start. I got it started on idle for a few minutes but cut off. When I pull the red light flashes briefly which is normal. Any advice? Put oil and using external gas tank. Ball is hard

[@ErickMartinSucre]

I would say let it rest. The carb may be overflown. It is likely to start up again soon. Let me know how it goes

[@vsukh2011]

I just started mine up maybe 5 days ago, initially I had the same problem with starting the first time. Took a good 20 minutes of pulling, adjusting the choke, letting it rest and starting again. After that it’s starts up fairly quickly with 1 or 2 pulls. If you got it to start a few minutes on idle, make sure the choke is pushed in. Things I also tried that seemed to work is fill the tank at least 3/4 of the way or more, make sure the vent is open on the gas cap, and choke is pushed in. Also when it did start, after a good while, I let it run with the choke pushed in for the 10 minute initial break in period. I thought there was something wrong with it initially but being a new user to outboard motors I figured it was me needed to figure it out what I was doing wrong which was flooding the carb most likely. But eventually I got it to run and took it out to the lake a few days later which I was able to start fairly quickly this time.

[@furballkimfpv9365]

Hi Erick awesome motor. Look's really nice sounds great. Its going to push your boat nicely awesome review of it. Cant wait to see you try it brother. cool

Hey Spaice! Thanks man, yes I will be going this weekend to the Island to test it out

[@otm646]

FYI per the manual you need to have 4 inches of water above the anti cavitation plate to run on the test stand.

[@ErickMartinSucre]

otm646 indeed you are correct

[@otm646]

Erick Martin Sucre it's not absolutely critical but I'd hate to have somebody damage or worse have a warranty claim refused on a brand new motor for something so easy to correct. I use a regular trash can and a siphon to drain it.

[@ErickMartinSucre]

otm646 I since got myself a bigger bucket and holds more water and also holds the motor in place without the stand

[@hansanders4661]

Enjoy that motor it is a great motor you should get a long life out of it if you treat the motor right and you don’t abuse it you should be completely fine I hope you have fun with that motor

[@ErickMartinSucre]

Hey there Zackary! Yes I have been having a lot of fun with it. Recently I got a new prop for it. It is a 7.8x7 compared to the original one 7.7x8. It sacrifices a little top end speed for more torque so when I have a lot of gear or have someone with me I can get into plane. I am also thinking of upgrading to an 8hp or maybe 9.8hp in the neat future.

[@antonis2814]

Hello Erick,you seem so happy.I want to ask you because I m thinking to buy it if your outboard has on its bracket two holes to screw the outboard in the boat or it has only the butterfly sphincter?Thank you very much.

[@ErickMartinSucre]

Antonis Nikolaou Hello and thanks for watching! I am currently looking at it and I do not see any holes where it can be attached to boat with screws and bolts. I bought mine at Onlineoutboards.com and you may ask them to see if they have a model like that.

Regular gas works great. I use royal purple but Penzoil or Castrol synthetic would work just fine. 10w30

I use 10w40 synthetic. Regular gas(USA).These motors come with the black hose/primer bulb and the alcohol in our gas won't eat them like they do the gray hoses.Alcohol breaks down the gray hoses and will clog up the carb.

[@ErickMartinSucre]

Very much so! Even though I bought a 9.9hp Mercury I see myself using the 6hp Tohatsu more often mainly because it is light and powerful enough to push me and my gear through the water nicely. The original propeller is a 7.8x8 prop and I got myself a 7.8x7 one. It gives a bit more torque sacrificing some top end speed but it was well worth it. I get into plane quicker with it.

I ordered exactly the same motor, Tohatsu 6hp 15" shaft but mine is 2019 model. It's arriving in a few days. One question. I know that the motor did not come with engine oil. You needed to add it. But what about gear oil? Did it already have gear oil for the lower unit ? Or you also added gear oil? Thank you.

Hi Eric, very informative videos which is why I bought the Tohatsu 6hp outboard. Do you own a short or long shaft?

[@ErickMartinSucre]

Mine is a short shaft. It's better suited for small crafts like inflatables

[@vsukh2011]

Cool that’s what I got. I also purchased a Saturn boat because of your videos, you are very influential lol. I got the 10ft heavy duty fishing boat and absolutely love it. Can’t figure out why I can go faster than 6mph though😔 maybe trim? Weight (2 people plus batter and front trolly motor and large cooler and myself) I just purchased the propeller you recommended so I’m hoping that helps but I think I’m going to loose the trolly and battery and get a smaller cooler and see what happens. But it just didn’t seem right after watching you go 14-17 mph with 2 large male adults inside

[@ErickMartinSucre]

With 2 people I go about 10 mph

[@ErickMartinSucre]

With 2 people and a lot of gear I go about 5-6 mph

The second step break in do I have to put in gear 1/2 throttle for 2 hour or I can just 1/2 throttle for 2hr?.

[@ErickMartinSucre]

Half throttle. After 2 hours you do a full throttle for 10 seconds every hour.

[@daddyshark1174]

You have excellent videos Eric, enjoying what you do! Curious why you didn't go with 9.8 hp tohatsu, which is the same as your 6 I believe?

[@ErickMartinSucre]

Hey there!! Thanks for coming by. Well the main reason is weight really. The 6hp is about 60 pounds and the 9.8 is close to 90. I inflate and inflate the boat every time I use it since i do not carry the boat on a trailer. I carry the boat on my car and once I am done i store the boat on a hand truck and the motor on a stand. I take both inside my own room. Doing this once in awhile would be ok but when you do it every weekend weight begins to play a major role.

[@daddyshark1174]

@@ErickMartinSucre this makes sense, thank you for sharing. I didn't realize there was such a weight difference. 82lbs on the 9.8BS as per website without oil I guess, I just got one delivered today and was looking for good break in videos.. Love yours.

[@ErickMartinSucre]

@@daddyshark1174 Thank you!! The break in should be the same. first hour idle speeds, next few hours intermittent accelerations to half throttle. Last hour small one minutes full open throttle. 10 hours in total and then change oil on gear case and engine.

[@cmatiazzoify]

sent you a PM on instagram, do you think 6HP will be enough for the Saturn 13?, 99% the time I will be solo fishing at the beach

[@ErickMartinSucre]

Yeah it should be just fine. If for some reason, the original propeller 7.8x8 does not get you into plane, you can always get the step down prop of 7.8x7. It'll reduce your max speed from 16mph down to 14, but it will help you get to plane quicker and faster. I know this for a fact because that's what I did when I had my Saturn SD380.

[@ErickMartinSucre]

When you handle the outboard to place it on the car or stand, keep it close to you while keeping your core muscles tight. The weight is gonna make your body lean forward and keeping your core muscles tight will prevent this from happening. Plan accordingly so your time lifting the outboard is at a minimum e.i placing outboard on stand, car and boat.
