so I took the maiden voyage yesterday with my brand new Tohatsu 9.8 kicker and right off the bat noticed a pretty annoying high-pitched whine and about 1/4 throttle,right at my RPM range for trolling speed. did a little research and apparently it's a common problem some sort of harmonic distortion at a particular RPM range. I can't imagine I'm the only one on this site who has experienced this , has anyone come up with any solutions for this.sounds like most people just deal with itbut I am not most people. I'm going to call the dealer later today but it sounds like everybody else who has called has been told it is normal and harmless.sounds like an issue that is somewhat common in the Tohatsu Nissans and mercs
