[QUOTE="swump, post: 260866, member: 7332"] I took it to a authorized service guy that sells boat packages. First lesson is that any Tohatsu service provider will do pre-delivery check on any internet purchased engine at no charge. The guy did that for me and fixed a the reverse engine lock that wasn't quite catching. No luck with vibration after some carb tweaking by the mechanic. I'm finding that the this engine is dinged for vibration in a number of reviews (see Cabela's reviews of the Nissan for example). It appears that the Yamaha and Honda's are smoother, but of course there's the $600-1000 price difference. There are occasional complaints about other 4 strokes too. So I can live with magic fingers as long as the engine is reliable. IT seems powerful enough and well made otherwise. Thanks for the suggestions and info. [/QUOTE]
