World's Record...

Tohatsu outboard motor production began in 1932, they manufactured reliable motors for commericial Japanese fishermen which needed a motor that could run for days on end, no matter what the weather requiring ocean-tested engineering that enables motors to work under the demanding and often harsh conditions. I guess it comes as no big surprise that Tohatsu holds the world record for the smallest outboard motor ever used to cross the Atlantic Ocean. You would never guess this task was accomplished with a 2.5 hp engine!
