Tohatsu 40TLDI

You talk as though you have never exceeded the manufacturer's recommendation, then how do you know how long the unit will last under extreme pressure. You see, you are speaking from conjecture, I am speaking from experience. I am not trying to disrespect or argue with you, I am stating the facts. I have tested outboards under extreme operating conditions since the late 80's, EXPERIENCE!


You are correct , I have not exceeded manufacture's recommendations . My "EXPERIENCE" with diesel , hydraulics , and gas since the early 70's would have gotten me fire'd to do so....I do have "EXPERIENCE" with others who thought they knew better than the manufacturer... I was simply stating there is a difference between running a motor on a performance hull and running it on a regular boat . The way you put it in some of your post one can get the same from either and it ain't so...
