    90 HP Evinrude lower-end gear removal

    I have a 1981 Evinrude 90hp that I destroyed the forward gear in last year. To remove the section of the lower-end that will allow access the gears I need to screw in two "very long" bolts and use a puller to extract a section of the lower-end secured by four bolts. As my puller didn't come...

    how to hoist motor from BOAT

    I got some good information on helping me with an electrical problem I had with my 75hp Mariner (1987) but perhaps someone can also suggest a method for removing from the boat too. I've always been able to do this with the evinrudes by using the hook they have mounted at the top of the motor...

    electrical meltdown 75 hp mariner (1987)

    I am new to the mariner motors so I'll need some assistance with this electrical burnout that I discovered on a motor I am considering to buy. The trim is associated with this component as it's not fuctioning (only clicks). Is this a rely or voltage regulator of some sort? Is there a site...

    replacing needle and seat on 9.8 hp

    Anyone attempt to remove the impossible needle seat on the older Merc 9.8 carbs and retrofit them with another matching set? I've attempted to clean this sucker multiple times and each attempt results in the problem with the needle sticking causing no gas to get to the motor. I can pump that...

    1981 90hp evinrude high idle issue

    I did a quick search to see if this was already posted bu I didn't find much related so here goes. I performed a carb kit rebuild on my 90hp motor since I had some gas leaking in the water like a float was sticking. Well, once I got inside the carbs one of the float needles was sticking so it...

    Weak power trim/tilt on 90 Evinrude

    I am hoping someone can help me with this liveable problem since it doesn't stop me from operating my boat. When I use the power trim during low speeds <15KM (I am guessing 8MPH for you US folks) I have no issues raising or lowering the power trim. The faster the boat goes the weaker the...

    Recommendation on setting timer

    I posted earlier about a problem I had with my 90HP and determine the problem was a new stator and timer base. My question now is whether I need to perform a timer adjustment? The motor seems to run great as-is and if I don't perform the tune up, what effects if any will happen if I leave it...

The Boat motor is new to me so I have no prior history knowledge of it's operating state other than to say it was...
