    e-tec vs Tohatsu tldi

    I got onto the previous thread a little late, and now it's locked from further reply. I just wanted to say that many people were touting the e-tec as the better engine based on what kind of evidence? Anecdotal or head to head competition? Well, I happened upon a copy of a test that Bass and...

    center console windshield height

    I'm going to add a windshield to my center console this year, and I'm wondering how high to make it. I know you are supposed to be able to see over it when running the boat. Is there an air eddy that forms over the windshield when moving at 30mph? I'm wondering if the wind spills right over...

    Tohatsu 90 tldi average cost for 2 year service?

    My tldi has 80 hours and going into its third season. I think it's time to for service: change water pump, check fuel and oil filters, change air pump belt, and anything else that needs to be checked/replaced.

    Tohatsu 90 TLDI

    I have about 80 hrs on this motor now, and it has been flawless. I have a question about running it. Between about 3000 and 3900 rpm, the motor is noisier than at 4000 or above and 3000 and below. Does that mean I should avoid the noisiest rpm ranges? Is it hurting the engine to run it in...

    Tohatsu 70tldi vs 90 tldi?

    My Tohatsu dealer said the only diference is the cpu. If that is so, and I'm not interested in a few more mph top end speed, do both motors have the same grunt at lower speeds up to a point? Would they both be equally efficient at getting a heavily loaded boat up on plane? <br /><br />Thanks
