Nissan Outboards history is connected to Tohatsu Outboard, which still produces Nissan models today

The history of Nissan Outboards is connected to Tohatsu engine production, which dates back to 1922 when the research and development of a small gasoline engine began, which was a first in Japan.

Nissan engines have been installed in various products such as motorcycles, fishing boats, snow vehicles and fire pumps for worldwide markets.

In 1956, Tohatsu/Nissan produced the first outboard motor in Japan, the "OB-2", an air-cooled 1.5 horsepower machine. Since then, Tohatsu has steadily increased brand recognition through the development of original marine products, such as two-stroke, four-stroke and TLDI® outboard motors.

With 50 years of trusted design and production technologies, Tohatsu has strengthened its position as "a pioneer of outboard motors" by continuing to work toward the development of powerful, low emission engines.

Tohatsu strongly believes that by offering reliable products that meet the needs of the environment while also providing exceptional power and unmatched durability, Tohatsu will continue to keep customer satisfaction as its number one priority.

Tohatsu Outboards are also sold under the Nissan name.
