I bought a Nissan 9.8 w/ 25" shaft 7 years ago from http://onlineoutboards.com and it's been great. The shipping was free and there was no MD 6% (5% at the time) sales tax.
Nissan and the smaller Mercury's are both rebranded Tohatsu's.

I could get it fixed but I'm wondering if I should just replace it. One of the most frustrating things about this outboard was that it barely fits in the cut out in the transom. When I lift or lower the engine, I scrape my knuckles as I force it. The engine has other issues I won't go into. Can anyone recommend a good replacement for this 9.9? I'm looking for a better fit, even if the hp is lower. Thanks in advance. Edgar Casas 1981 C27 #4811 "Silent Running" Deale, MD
