Hassle Free Reliability

Whatever tests you put your Tohatsu to, it will probably be only a fraction of the torture that thousands of commercial users around the world subject their Tohatsus to every day. While you may well be using your Tohatsu for recreation, these people are not: their entire livelihoods and even their lives depend on Tohatsu.

To experts throughout the marine industry, the name Tohatsu is synonymous with excellent quality and rugged durability; in other words, Tohatsu is the best motor you can buy. Tohatsu builds these motors so that you can be certain that when you go boating, you can get where you want to go, and come home when you want to.

Tohatsu gives you a motor with everything you need at a better price than the competition. You don't have to purchase a special model to get the heavy duty advantages that Tohatsu offers. Tohatsu regular models include all that the competitors' heavy duty models offer, with no additional "heavy duty" price tag.

Tohatsu was the first Japanese company to manufacture outboard motors and is now among the leading outboard motors in the world. The engines were originally designed for Japanese commercial fishermen who needed a reliable engine while at sea for days. They were built especially for harsh conditions and demanding applications.

"Tohatsus are bulletproof; they don't break and can't be hurt. Our service department is like the Maytag repairman and would fold up if they had to survive repairing only Tohatsu. In five years, we haven't had a single warranty claim, and a rental fleet gets torn up worse that anything. They start every time and nobody needs to get rescued from the middle of the lake. Tohatsu outperforms other motors horsepower for horsepower."
Donald Stratton, Boat Rentals (Idaho)

"We push three ton, 35 ft. inflatables through the Grand Canyon with our Tohatsus. There's no motor more rugged and reliable than the built tough Tohatsu. When the motor gets swamped, it doesn't stall; when we inevitably hit the rocks, it doesn't break down. And when it does need servicing, it's easy to fix."
