GOOD NEWS. . . . The PICTURE UPLOAD FUNCTION IS WORKING !!! The tech folks at the parent company have been able to remedy the issue. You can upload pictures once again. Thank you for your patience.
Dealer was telling me this is really a 50 hp outboard, how do you make it into a 50? The engine is a 2003 40 3 cylinder carb.<br /><br />More or less I am simply curious, dont think I will go through with any mods.<br /><br />-John
Thanks for the info, according to Tohatsu.com the 40 and 50 are both 697cc and share the same bore/stroke. My manual that came with the outboard is for both 40/50 as well.<br /><br />Are we talking the same motors or am I just confused? Thanks for the info,<br /><br />-John
The bore and stroke are the same, but the blocks have different portng and the crankshaft's have a difference as well....The engines also have different manifolds,silencers,carburetors and exhaust pipes. It would just not be cost effective to convert a 40 to a 50.
