Wanted Looking for 15-20 hp Tiller Outboard

[tiogaguy]

Looking for a used 2015 or newer 15-20 hp long shaft electric start motor. Prefer Tohatsu, Nissan, Suzuki, Honda, or Yamaha. Mercury is ok if it Doesn't have to twist shift handle. Not interested in new motors.

I have a 25 hp with one and hate it. If you try to bump in and out of gear, it briefly increases rpms and speeds up. Also, it "misses neutral" if you twist the throttle too fast. I like a shifter, set the throttle where you need it then bump it in and out of gear as needed.

I have a 2012 25hp merc with twist and have never had any of the troubles you mentioned. Mines efi maybe that’s why?
