Has anyone had experience repowering with a Yamaha inline 4 cylinder 200 hp? I have a 1988 22 ft mako and would like to repower placing a 200 hp 2 stroke. Was wondering if I would be happy with the inline four?
My 2006 15 HP Mariner has become very hard to star but It idles great once warm. When starting the engine cold, one pull produces a few engine fires, then stops. (Warm it starts perfectly - first pull.) Cold I have to give the engine a considerable amount of throttle to get it started. By...
I have a 1997 Mariner 15 hp that has been having starting problems when cold only. The first pull, the engines fire right up a few times - almost runs- and stops. This engine used to always start on the first pull! After that it is very difficult to start. The only way I start it is to pull the...
Can anyone point me to the proceedures for the Joe Reeves Static Timing method? I have searched this forum and can't find it even though many others are referring to it.
I need to check timing on a 1987 200 hp which seams to run sluggishly. Thought possibly the timing is not advancing as it...
I recently had intermittent ignition problems on my 1987 200 HP Evinrude. About an hour into a ride my engine would lose power falling off the plane- but would still idle. This came and went a couple times until I go home. Next time out about an hour into the ride the same thing happened only...
I'm looking to replace my 1987 200 HP Evinrude. I do not boat as much as in the past, and don't want to pay for a new engine I would only use a dozen times a year, so I am considering a used motor. I am looking for recommendations on how to select a motor - what to check and how to check it. Are...
My 1987 2-stroke 15 HP Mariner starts fine cold or warm but 30 seconds after start, it begins to run a little rough and the idle speed begins to slow until it finally stops. If I pull the primer level (inject more fuel) the idle speed picks right back up to where it was and then a few seconds...
It appears my 1987 200 hp Evinrude may need the lower engine mounts replaced. The mount covers are corroded through (#10 on attached diagram) and the black rubber is protruding. The mounts are available from BPR (P/N 0391710 and #18 on the attached diagram) but very expensive; $146 ea. That...

My 19987 200HP Evinrude has developed excessive corrosion at the lower engine mounts of the mid-section. The mount covers (see #10 in the attached diagram - if I attached it properly) are corroded through with black rubber protruding through the corrosion holes. How serious is this? Is it...
I just rebuilt the water pump on my 1897 200hp Evinrude. I have done this several times over the years. This time when I installed the lower unit and started the engine (on hose w/muffs) I had a VERY weak tale-tell stream and a LOT of water pouring from the upper exhaust ports (the ports just...
My 1987 200hp Evinrude needs a new gasket at the base of the cowling. It is a gray rubber-like gasket that is deteriorated to the point it needs replacing. The dealer tells me they don't carry new gaskets and I should just glue-on some weather stripping instead. This does not sound right to me...
The fuel vent hose on my 1988 228 Mako has turned to 'mush' and deteriorated to the point it must be replaced. I lifted the deck panel covering the fuel tank and found the boat's flotation foam covers the vent line. The vent line 'snakes' from top the fuel tank, down along the side of the fuel...
I have a VRO pump on my 1987 200 HP Evinrude which is not pumping fuel. I placed a clear hose on the output and saw no fuel flowing. I also measured the output pressure. It was very low 'bouncing' around zero with each vacuum pulse. The pump is a BRP P/N 5007422 which is a pre-mix pump (no oil...
A week ago I ran my 1987 200 HP Evinrude motor on the flusher. It ran fine for a while then it started running rough and the idle began slowing. I pumped the fuel line primer 'bulb' and the idle picked up SOME but I could not pump it enough to keep the engine going. By-the-way the fuel pump was...
I have been reading threads about the 200 HP Evinrude plastic carburetor bowls warping. Mine is a 1987. The symptoms described on these threads are similar to problems I have been having. Idling problems-mostly on a warm engine after high speed operation. The engine starts great cold when choked...
