    Tohatsu M50D - dribbling pee hole

    I have a Tohatsu M50D (50HP) and I had the water pump replaced last summer - maybe 20 hours ago. The water coming out of the pee hole never was a fast, strong stream. It's just a really weak flow - even at full throttle. I'd say it would take a minute to pee out 1 cup of water. I've seen other...

    Tohatsu M50D oil /filldrain plug O-rings - source?

    I need new O-rings for the oil fill and vent plugs for my Tohatsu M50D lower unit. Does anybody know of a source online? Also, I have a leak somewhere in the lower unit because the fluid is milky. I asked a guy here in town if he could check it out (no Tohatsu shops nearby) but he said he...

    Tohatsu M50D - fresh battery won't spin fast

    I have a 1995 Tohatsu M50D. I bought this engine used and I've just used it for the first time.

After a few seconds the engine...

    Tohatsu M50D - How do you bleed oil pump?

    I just bought a used 1995 Tohatsu M50D. I drained all the oil out of the oil reservoir because I was told not to mix the oil. I now need to bleed the air out of the line. I know there is a screw on top of the oil pump that is used for bleeding air but what is the actual procedure? Do you run the...

    Tohatsu M50D - oil leaking from water intake

    I have a 1995 Tohatsu M50D. I replaced the gear oil and a couple days later had the skeg replaced. When I got the boat home I thought I should open the top gearcase vent screw to let out pressure that built when the lower unit got hot from welding the skeg. The gear oil cavity was pressurized...
