    Default tohatsu questions need some help

    Tohatsu 2004 90hp 2 stroke

    Ok I traded my boat last week for a pontoon with a 90hp tohatsu on it.
    The motor was started on muffs ran fine. trade was made.
    When I got home I hooked it back up to water started it then I put it into gear It does go into gear (forward & reverse) prop spins.
    It had a very bad rumbling noise. Did not seem normal.
    I pulled the lower gear dran to check if there was metal in the oil.
    Water started pooring out! it had about1/4 water 3/4 oil. I can not see any cracks in the lower end and new oil is not leaking out? dont know how the water got in there. but no metal.
    When I ran it agin after refilling the noise was still there. I think this thing may have a bad lower unit.
    Where can I get a replacment or can I get mine rebuilt? :

    This sucks I should have had the guy put it in gear before we did the trade
    Im located in stockbridge any help would be great.

    Do a google search for Tohatsu dealers. I'd get it checked out ASAP, no sense doing anymore damage.

    Besides the Tohatsu dealers. you can expand search to nissan dealers also as Tohatsu makes Nissan also, and as of 2-3 years ago Nissan has been & stiill does make all the small mercury motors up to about 50 hp??(somewhere around that size?). So if no nissan/Tohat dealer close by contact a good Mercury dealer he can also get parts you need. That seller of motor was & is a son a Bee ch.........
