I've owned a 4hp yamaha, 15hp yamaha, 30hp yamaha, and and 20hp blueband merc, guess which one left me paddling back to shore?

[BrisBen]

had tohastu 90 2 stroke reliable but thirsty. Now have 115 suzuki 4 stroke couldnt be happier with it. Ben

[Dan5]

i had a tohatsu before my first suzi 4 stroke the tohatsu reminds me of a diesel lister generator

[bluefin59]

I have an mariner 2st 60hp same as the merc except for the coweling cover is silver my cousin has the merc and we have done the compare thing the same everything why do they bother why not just call it a merc ??????

[Dan5]

i used to have a mariner 25hp about 12 years ago which was a yammie but now might be a tohatsu i think they just rebadge all of them just for the loyalty to brand factor mate

G'day

Bluefin, brunswick corp. do this with their merc/mariner brands ecause in certain parts of the world, each brand has a better market share. Much easier to tool up and produce one engine and whack a different cowel on when needed.

Same a the small HP japanese mercs are tohatsu and a fair few of the 4 banger mercs are yamaha.

from what i was lead to believe when i was tossing up between a mec & a Tohatsu is that some of the mercs are made by tohatsu, but, they are made to the merc specs with regard to metals etc used to keep their warranties..
