You made reattaching the lower unit look like a breeze! Now for me, there's at least 8 trys and 9 cuss words before I get it locked in! 😂😂 Thank you for making the videos! I love watching them on TH-cam and when the instruction is sound, as in your presentation, I can get 'er done! 😃👍
Many many many THANKS !!! I bought a 2013 MFS 20 C and, thank to you, I already know how to service it !!! Greetings from Argentina, at the southern end of the American Continent !!!
This is just what I needed to see. Bent and twisted a prop shaft on my 20 hp Mercury. More than comfortable replacing a lower unit. Thanks for making this video. Take care.
Perfect. Getting my first ever boat this week and it comes with a 25hp Tohatsu 4-stroke. It's a 2013 engine and with any luck your procedure works on that too. Thanks!
A very informative video...step by step, you made it look easy, thanks loads. Really good advice, no bs and extremely helpful - great job! regards from Australia!!.
Awesome video. I’m new to maintaining an outboard and this was exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for the great video and taking it step by step. Would like to hear about the hydrofoil install and performance.
Great video, makes things look easy :) What is going to happen to all the generous quantity of vaseline during operation? Isn't it going to clog the waterways inside the engine?
Would love to see more on the jon boat! I found your channel last week while looking for info on the Smithy machines (we just got one for our shop at work). Great job on your videos👍 We have a lot in common and looks like we live around the same area.
So glad you found my little channel. I will do another video on the job boat soon. We do live in the same neck of the woods! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Hey man good video. Go grab a tube of Silicone Grease (Plumbers Grease) instead of petrolium. The petroleum based greases break down seals an o rings, whereas the silicone based grease doesn't. Cheers
great video, FYI when you grease the impeller it's better to use a silicon-based grease/spray lube if the rubber is a natural rubber. If it is synthetic rubber then petroleum based grease like vaseline is fine.
I put mine in forward and leave it there. When i put it back together I simply turned the coupling nut down till it touches the jam nut. Tighten up and your done.
Thanks for the video. Didn’t realize servicing my Tohstsu was that easy. I’ve been paying through the nose at my dealer. I hate to tell you what they charge my to replace the impeller on my 2010 Tohatsu. I will be doing the basics myself next time.
Hi i have the 50hp just changed the impeller and started it up but water not willing to come through the telltale! A few spirts then steam on a 30 second run any ideas what problem could be ? Thanks.
Nice video but I have a quick question, Does it matter if it’s in. Forward neutral or reverse? It was hard to see what gear you had it in. It looked like reverse?
I place a set of "ear muff" water hose adapter over the lower unit water intakes when I test run the engine at the end of the video. At 9:31 you can see them on the engine.
Great video, I recommend using "Super Lube" synthetic grease. It works great and doesn't dissolve in water.

Thank´s.
Best tohatsu maintense movie.
Man, nice video but you should take the propeller off and check for fishing line and lube the splines !
Thank you for the great video, need to change my impeller on the same motor and your walk through shows everyone how easy it can be.
VERY GOOD VID.....TO THE POINT, no rambling. SO MANY could take a lesson from this fellow!!
Thank you so much. Just the facts!!

Man thanks for your hard work and I would love to see that deck build , your a great multi craftsman and I appreciate your wisdom sir .
This is just what I needed to see. Bent and twisted a prop shaft on my 20 hp Mercury. More than comfortable replacing a lower unit. Thanks for making this video. Take care.
I'm glad you enjoyed it, the lower unit is very easy to remove.
good and helpful video. like to see the deck video on your jon boat. i have a 16' G-3 w /20hp tohatsu and think thats the best deck .
Great video! Once I realized the Mercury motors are made by Tohatsu, I came across this and boy am I glad I did!
I am glad it helped you. Great little motor and easy to work on.
Great video! Thank you for taking the time to show this

Great video, I wish I would have watched this before I took it to the shop for mantince,I guess you live and learn
Nice video. I've never seen a outboard motor being serviced, pretty darn cool.
Hey Phil, I'm glad you enjoyed the video. The Tohatsu is a super simple engine to service. Thanks so much for watching and commenting!
Thank you for sharing.
You should consider changing the category of this to How To. A lot more people searching for videos like this would find it that way.
I will definitely do that!
Gotta make sure the impeller is twisted in the same direction that it came off from the factory, just a tip for anyone trying to attempt this job.
Nice job. Thanks a bunch! I have a 2008 Merc -- same motor, different decals.
Glad you enjoyed, thanks for watching and commenting.

Thanks for watching and commenting. I love it on a small front heavy boat. If you boat is light in the front you will not need it.
well Andrew you did it again, nice videos don't miss any of them, take care my friend.....
Yep, you and I think alike!
Great video, makes things look easy :)

best tutorial i've seen in a long time. thank you so much, this was very helpful.
I would like to see what and how you modified the boat. I am learning something new from each of your videos,
I really appreciate that. I will do another video soon showcasing the old Jon boat!

Im not sure which it was made out of. Vaseline has always been my go to for rubber. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Thanks for the video. I am learning to replace my first impeller on Tohatsu 20hp. This definitely helps a lot
Glad it helped you. Really easy to do.
You left out the hardest part reconnecting shift linkage. I always struggle getting it connected in the right place.
I put mine in forward and leave it there. When i put it back together I simply turned the coupling nut down till it touches the jam nut. Tighten up and your done.
Very good job.
Thank you!

Thank you man, great stuff
-Great video. Thanks.

Great video. You did an excellent job keeping it simple and easy to follow 👍 I subscribed to your channel 😃
Thanks for watching and commenting. I appreciate you subscribing.
Very helpful, thanks
Thanks
Very clear, instructive video.
Just one question. Should I have the shifter in neutral when I pull off the lower unit?
I would recommend putting it in forward and leave it there until finished.
Okay. Thanks again.
So just wondering how the motor runs and that the parts are easy to get. Also is all the parts the same as a mercury? Thanks for the video
Parts are easy to get. What little I've bought came from Amazon, local parts store, etc. I'm not sure about the Mercury being the same.
Nice

Nice video but I have a quick question, Does it matter if it’s in. Forward neutral or reverse? It was hard to see what gear you had it in. It looked like reverse?
Forward or reverse will work. The only purpose for having it in gear is to turn the prop and line up the spines when you reassemble.
Thank you!!!!
Great video. How fast would you say this engine will push your boat??
Thanks for watching and commenting. I would guess about 19 MPH with two grown men in the boat. 23 MPH with just me
@@foothillstrailhiker2426 👍👍
how do remove plastic side covers? no info: in manual
I don't know, I have never removed mine.
Is there a certain torque spec for the 4 lower unit bolts, or is it just tighten until you can’t anymore?
I just put them in nice and tight.
Just curious what size jon boat is that motor on?
its a Grumman 1436
Can anyone tell me where the manual tilt is?
I'm buying one this week before I pay are you happy with this engine would you recommend buying one
John Dalton I am absolutely happy. No problems whatsoever. I highly recommend.
Foothills Trail Hiker brilliant thanks for quick reply I will go ahead and buy it
So does the motor have to be in neutral when replacing the water pump impeller?
👍
Thanks for watching and commenting.
On the jam nut on the shift linkage is there anything holding it? Like a set screw?
No, it's just a jamb nut. Should break free easily.
@@foothillstrailhiker2426 ok thanks! And good video!
What kind of filter does it take and where do you get it?
I believe my engine uses a Fram PH6607 and its available at most parts stores.
What weight oil did you use?
You did not show how you covered up the vent holes. I can’t get my Tohatsu to pump water without covering the lower unit vent
I place a set of "ear muff" water hose adapter over the lower unit water intakes when I test run the engine at the end of the video. At 9:31 you can see them on the engine.
Where did you get the new impeller
I believe i picked it up on Amazon. It was a Seirra 18-8921 costs about $23
Which Frame oil filter number?
ph6607
Great video
Great video.
