We have been running our Tohatsu 2 stroke LTDI fuel injected 40 hp on our 12
ft Boss Boat for three years. During this time of cruising we have used
four quarts of oil and 187 gallons of gasoline. There is no smoke.
When in the Bahamas and Keys we often travel many miles with other dinghys
to distant areas. On a twenty mile trip, the three accompaning RIBs with
four strokes needed to buy gas for the return trip. It appeared to me that
my milage was superior.
The progress made in modern 2 strokes is unbelievable. No smoke, immediate
starting, no carborators, good economy.
