Re: tohatsu 8 hp , four stroke
Ron, I used a Nissan 8hp, four stroke(same engine) in my CD25. It fit but the cover wouldn't close, I had to raise the engine cover by about 1 1/2 inches. Good luck.

Thanks, I think I'll stick with the 6 hp sailpro by tohatsu.

I have the Nissan 6HP Sail Pro and its a nice motor. No issues with it at all and it does fit.
