My Tohatsu 4cycle ultra long shaft (25") 6hp arrived in "good order" from onlineoutboards.com via Fed Ex freight.

A couple comments: I got out my magnet and went to checking hardware on the motor and tank hose etc. and was pleasantly surprised to see the Japanese manufactured motor used stainless steel on all hardware on the outside of the motor except the prop shaft. I have not opened up the inside and checked it as of yet.

The red heavy plastic tank and hose interconnect by pneumatic hardware and the 3 plus gallon take has a fuel gauge. I am going to contact onlineoutboards and see about getting a back up tank and hose.

The motor with the 25" long shaft will place the prop about 4 inches above the center of the where the inboard shaft exited the hull. This is just an estimate at this time. The total motor height is 50.2 inches. and total weight is 59 lbs. So far I am pleased.
