In this video, Should you buy a TOHATSU Outboard Motor for Liveaboard Cruising the Caribbean?, I dive into all of the issues we've had with 2 Tohatsu outboar motors while crusing full time from Nova Scotia, Canada all the way to the Caribbean (3.5 HP 4-Stroke and a 5 HP 2 Stroke). I talk about the pros and cons of a fold-up dinghy VS rigid bottom (RIB) hypalon dinghy. I give a review of the dinghy gluing product, Final Fix, and I talk about my Black Diamond ascender climbing tool I use with my safetly line when climbing the mast. #tohatsu #dinghyreview #sailinggear #sailingchannel SAILING GEAR is dedicated to giving honest transparent and unbiased reviews of both new and old sailing equipment complete with trials, demos, and testing.
