    Gearcase oil change

    Hello, The gearcase oil was changed on my 1988 Evinrude 9.9 3 years ago. It has run about 10 hours since. The oil is up to the top plug and a sample from the bottom one was clear golden colour. No water. Does it need changing, please?

    Flushing Evinrude 9.9

    Thanks guys, for all the input. I don't have a flushing port, so guess I will have to get the bucket out again. And hand out earplugs and/or beer!

    Flushing Evinrude 9.9

    Flushing Evinrude 9.9

    Hello. It would seem an easy job to fit a hose connection to the thermostat housing on a 1988 Evinrude 9.9. Would it work as a fresh water flush without running the engine, please?

    Hello, I need to remove my 1988 Evinrude 9.9 cylinder head to scrape out the water passages. Can this be done with the engine still in the casing, please?

    I have a 1989 Evinrude 9.9 with 15hp carburetter on a 9 ft. speedboat used in salt water. In the last 4 years it has always been flushed out with fresh water at the end of the season.

    Hello, I have a 1989 Evinrude 9.9 hp, recently fitted with a 15hp carburetter. I do not know the history of the engine, but it seems to run well enough although rather smoky on 50:1. I have had previous experiences of other makes of two strokes where they seem to be running OK and will...
