Tohatsu and Nissan outboards undergo an extensive factory inspection, including a tank test prior to being crated. While other manufacturers only spot check some engines, Tohatsu and Nissan test every engine. This ensures the highest level of quality and customer satisfaction upon delivery.

Engine oil must be added prior to use. The engine oil is drained by the factory prior to shipping. When your new outboard arrives, you simply add engine oil (amount and type are shown on page 1 of manual). The lower unit gear lube is pre-filled from the factory. No assembly is required. Even the propeller is pre-installed for your convenience.

If you purchase an electric start model, your outboard will include battery leads pre-installed from the factory (battery not included). You simply connect the battery leads to your battery.

Read the owner’s manual carefully prior to operation. The owner's manual contains important information regarding the break-in period, safety and proper use of your outboard engine.
