In this video we walk through 5 common issues with Mercury and Tohatsu 6HP 4stroke outboard Jon Boat motors.

I love this motor. Don't let these items sway your decision as they are easily avoided and are common with most small outboards.

I am not an expert mechanic. Read your manual and always do your own research.
