[QUOTE="AlexB, post: 415489, member: 21169"] What's up, guys? I've been researching small (~10-15 HP) 4 stroke outboards, and its making my head spin... I understand Tohatsu makes a good motor, and I also understand that the small motors offered with Nissan graphics are basically just rebranded Tohatsus. What about Mercury? I've heard that the power heads are made by Tohatsu and the lowers are made by someone else. I've also heard they're unreliable and harder to work on? There are MANY used Mercs for sale, which makes me wonder... What about Evinrude? I did a little searching and found that Evinrude teamed with Tohatsu for their small "portable" 4-strokes. Is that "teaming" more along the lines of the Nissan/Tohatsu team or the Mercury/Tohatsu team? I'm mostly narrowing my search to Nissan/Tohatsu, Yamaha, and Honda, but don't know if I should be including a few others (like Evinrude) if they're actually just rebraned Tohatsus? Any thoughts? Thanks in advnace, ~Alex [/QUOTE]
