Dealer switching my new 50 hp Mercury to 50 hp Tohatsu

Recently I bought a new boat that been sitting at a dealer for some time. It is a 2016 Aluminum boat for spillway and Amite River Fishing that had 50 hp Mercury. Price was right and it was ready to go.
I noticed I had sugglishness on my last trip. I took the motor in to be looked at last week.
Well dealer callled me back and said they will change out my engine from 50 hp Mercury with a 50 hp Tohatsu to get me out the door fast no charge.
I pay a small fee for motor registration and that is it.
They would not comment on what happened to the 50 hp Mercury.
I know from researching online they are decent engines.
My question is who Services these Tohatsu’s and has parts for them in the Baton Rouge area?

great motors
it will outlast you and your boat
you won’t need service just change the oil and the zincs

damn, you got a steal on that. My dad and brother both have tohatsu 40s (which are the 50s with a restrictor plate) and they love them. They haven't had any issues. My dad swore his was rattling so he brought it to the dealer and turned out it was his 34 year old hull making the noise. that's the closest thing to a problem they have had.

You got a upgrade. Enjoy.

The dealer you got it from doesn't service them or are they not located in the Baton Rouge area?
Maybe check the Tohatsu website's dealer locator feature to find one in the area based on zipcode.

Pretty sure it's the same motor with a different cover.
