I did an upgrade on my B-19, POCO (est. 2,800 lb. displacement) this last year.  Replaced a Merc 4HP, 2-cycle with extra long shaft on stern motor mount with a Merc 5HP, 4-cycle SailPro installed in the motor well in the stern lazarette. The Merc.SailPro is reportedly manufactured by Tohatsu and includes an alternator for the main battery.  Experience now is of more than enough power. At about >2/3 throttle, hull speed is achieved and the stern wave rises through the motor well into the lazarette locker (referred to as a hull "squat").  So, if you are thinking of using a motor well, beware of squatting with a higher HP outboard.
Best,

My 20+ year old Mercury 9.9 outboard is on its last legs and its time to bite the bullet and find a replacement. I’m thinking I need a 9.9 4 stroke engine (but am open to any better alternatives). It needs to be able to fit in the outboard motor well. And since I lift it out of the water when not sailing to eliminate problems with marine growth, O don’t want it much heavier that the my current 82 pound engine.
Any opinions about the best options?

I use a extra long shaft Tohatsu sail master. It’s light, plenty powerful
enough and extremely fuel efficient. It fits in the motor well. It does not
have remote so motor well into the cockpit needs to be altered. I put a
door in the opening made

One of the things one must consider when powering vessel hull speed and that at a certian point more HP will just push the boat into a squat - consider the current you are up against and the potential time under power you will require in your sailing - so if on a calm bay day sailing you will not need much to do the job. If in a tidal river or making long powered passages consider something bigger that would run at partial throttle - more HP will not make the vessel travel faster, it will only go at hull speed and then sit and squat

ROBERT ROESCH <robert...@earthlink.net>: Jan 07 03:57PM -0500

I use a 9.9 hp Yamaha with a long shaft on a Bristol 27.
It's a perfect motor for everything we need and rarely do we have to go up and over half throttle.
We have had to make no alterations to the boat to make the engine fit, and the control arm folds out in such a way that it's very convenient.
Thanks~R
 
Ken Bridges <kbln...@gmail.com>: Jan 07 07:34PM -0500

I did not specify but mine is the Tohatsu sail pro 6hp. Seems to be plenty.
I’m amazed at the fuel economy. I sail a fair amount ( al least weekly)and
use less than 6 gallons a year. Good torque, hull speed easily. I’m happy I
choose a smaller engine

Hi,
We had a boat transported by truck (not our Bristol) from CT to FL and it got damaged.  The truck company is not cooperating and wont give us their insurance information or even a Bill of Lading.
We've tried the police (they said the damage happened elsewhere not in their jurisdiction).  I'm not even sure exactly what state the damage occurred.
  Does anyone have suggestions?  Or know of a lawyer we could consult?

lol, I believe Douglas was still in the group when these two threads were
started, his email is attached to them. And he will continue getting them
until those threads go cold. I don't think he will get and new thread
posts. Do you hear the Douglas? Or are you gone?

Carl,

 

Own a 1980 B24. Using a Tohatsu Sailpro 6hp extra long shaft (24"). Comes with a high thrust prop and small alternator, pushes the B24 along to hull speed no problem. Much lighter than the 9.9 as well! Something to consider. Good luck!
