Looking to get a "NEW" motor. Any recommendation for my C26?
Currently have a Sailor 250 without spark and a Force 5 that won't start without a hit of ether. Would like to get a motor that will rest on the OE mount but I read that 4 strokes will not fit/tilt. I know I know "fix the Chrysler" will be brought up but we want something a little more "bullet Proof".
Thanks
Steve
buying a new outboard, any recommendation?

"Nebraska" is based on an Otos Indian word meaning "flat water"

I recently bought a new motor for Venture South.I got a 9.8 Tohatsu with electric start.Its a little overkill for that boat but it was the smallest they had with electric start. I wanted electric start in case a crew member needed to start it.A neighbor has a 6 hp that is a single cylinder that runs a little rougher than the 2 cyl 9.8. The one I got is the 25" shaft and high thrust prop. It would be a great motor for a 26.
Several people on here have them and really like them. I got mine online with free shipping.

Onlineoutboards.com. They had a leftover available at the time. I would've only saved less than 100. but the 13's have the shift lever foward on the coel. that's nice. It also came with a 3 gallon tank.
I was using a 6 hp Johnson that I had to spray to start when it was cold. after that it would start all day long as long as it was warm. But... even after a 2 hr sail on a 90* day it would need to be sprayed again. I had it to 2 different shops and looked at it myself. I finally got frustrated and went new.

I bought a lightly used 2007 version of this motor. Electric start is FANTASTIC!clair hofmann wrote:I recently bought a new motor for Venture South.I got a 9.8 Tohatsu with electric start.Its a little overkill for that boat but it was the smallest they had with electric start.

Love the motor!

I bought a Suzuki DF9.9THX from these guys:

I got the remote model, but I don't think Suzuki will let them sell the remotes online anymore. Plenty of power, 25" long shaft to keep the prop in the water, power tilt, electric start. I have had no trouble at all with it in 3 years.
What made me choose the Suzuki over the others was larger engine displacement (the others use gearing to get "high thrust") and a little more charging capability. If you want even more power, a set of carb jets will turn it into a 15hp.
