Tell them you recently won the Nigerian lottery and will gladly take a cash deposit of 3000 from them, after which you will pay them 4000 to cover the motor.

So the UPS truck drove up to the farm and unloaded my 6 horse tohatsu sail pro ,I guess its tohatsu because the cowl has Chinese writing on it ,I mounted it on my kicker bracket and mixed the oil and gas to 25-1 ratio like it said and pulled it and the rope popped ,I thought they were 4 strokes that you did not have to mix oil with ????? The shaft measures 15" and it has little teeny plastic propeller.......

All the 6hp and below kickers have tiny plastic props these days. They work just fine. If you're mixing oil, it's a 2-stroke. Tohatsu's current 6hp outboard is a 4-stroke. Go to Tohatsu's website and verify what you've got...

I was sitting around earlier just wondering if I had ordered that tohatsu 6 sail pro from universal outboards what would have happened ????I started to say I got it and it was perfect for 1000.00 but then I was scared somebody might actually buy one !
