Tohatsu 40 4 stroke trim switch

[CajunChristian]

Fish with it for 6 months and you'll never even look at a 2 stroke again. I switched about 12 years ago, you couldn't give me a dozen 2 strokes for my 4 stroke. Makes life much too easy, turn the key and go, no choke, no revving up when cold to keep it running, no smoke, much less noise, burns 2/3 the gas, what's not to love?

Lol. I've run the boat 3 time just trying to get it set up and I'm already to that point. This thing is so quiet you can hear it piss when you're idling.

It's almost idiotproof. If it overheats, it shuts itself down. And it does not care if you're in the middle of a mud flat, it shuts down.

I'm hooking a trail tach up tomorrow. Interested to see what it's turning.

38mph with a fish load is good, I would be interested in trying a 15 or 16p black stainless and get you at 6000rpm.

This was not a fishing load. This is me, about 4 gallons of fuel, 2 batterys and troll motor. The prop is a 17 pitch black stainless with cup. I am running it pretty high in the water also. I want to put my 16 black stainless on, lower the motor and see what it does. I ran it once and got 36-37 but didn't have a tach at that time. I think I was running it too high in the water also.

My 40hp Yamaha motor is headed for a rebuild and upgrade carbs, head and exhaust tomorrow. I may try to rent or buy that 16P black stainless from you. I have a 14 P black stainless now that I am already at redline with it.

I like to hit rev limiter solo

I hated the trim location on mine also. I did about the same thing but my switch is on the bench under my legs along with my jackplate switch.

What size boat you running? What kind of performance numbers are you seeing?

Im running a 1748 alweld marsh special. Motor is a 40hp with the restrictor plate off sitting on a Micro jacker stacked on a manual plate (9.5 inches of set back all together I think). Prop is a 15p black stainless. Im topping out at 36-37. Tried a power tech SRD 15p but for whatever reason it pulled stupid hard no mater how high the motor was or how I trimmed it. So I put the black stainless back on. Guys seem to get better results from the SRD on the 15-16ft edge or ambush boats. All in all I am very pleased with my set up. Good hole shot plenty fast for me and that 17ft boat has plenty room.

If I remember correctly Im turning about 5800 at WOT.

Looks like you're running pretty good. Would like to try an Srd on my boat. Heard a lot of good things about them.
