Hi guys, I am looking for some help finding the model number of an outboard that I need some parts for but the model number has worn off and not visible anymore. The serial number on the freeze plug is G3838093 so I'm wondering if that can help? It's believed to be a 1993 50HP but would like to...
Hello guys, I am working on a friends motor (2004 Evinrude Ficht 250 DI) which he purchased a couple of months ago. He asked me to help him out by checking the EMM for the history report and any faults it may have. After connecting the fuel and oil and running the motor it is acting weird, it...
Hi guys, I am considering purchasing and installing a bigger fuel tank in this 1989 Boat and was wondering if space permits would a 150Gal tank be too much or a downfall and will it sacrifice any safety or reliablity of the boat. I have to replace the deck and while I have that off I will...
Hi Guys,
I have an old Evinrude Prop which is a 15 x 17 p/n # 391290 and I am looking for a replacement hub for it. Anyone know who would carry these or any company that might have a compatible hub?
Thanks
Hi,
I am repainting the center console in a 1989 Wellcraft fisherman 21ft and while removing the 2 sliding glass (plexi) doors in the storage compartment I noticed the frame (trim) which goes around the perimeter of this compartment is in very bad shape (it's plastic). It accomodates the glass...
Hi guys, I had a outboard bracket with a platform fabricated for my boat and will be prepping the metal and priming with mar pro zinc chromate primer. I would like to know if I can apply the awlgrip topcoat over that or should I the use an awlgrip primer over the zinc chromate then apply the...
Hi guys I was looking at this 2000 150 Ficht today for one of my buddies and it won't run in the idle position only when the throttle is advanced then it will run. I put the computer on it and there were no hard faults only 1 stored fault which was for the shift assist switch. The motor has been...
Anyone think putting an Etec 250 on a 20ft sportfisher center console is a bad idea? Does anyone think that the 250 would be to big and too much power for the boat? It's a 1989 Wellcraft straight solid transom and I would be installing an aluminum flotation bracket to accomodate the etec 250.
I found this 07 etec 250 and has around 800 hours so is this too much hours for the year and what would be the checks I need to do before deciding if I want to buy it or not and is it still worth $7,000. The owner uses it on his dive boat and said thats why the hours are up there but he hasn't...
I am currently running a 1994 Johnson 150 on my 1989 20ft Wellcraft sportfisher and I want to up the HP a bit. I found a 1996 200 for a good price and I am wondering if 50 more hp would make a noticeable difference in power or just burning more fuel.
My buddy has this motor and just replaced the pp, trigger (timer base) and 6 coils since they were never replaced and has a spit on the #5 cylinder which it had a miss before all these parts were replaced. The carbs were not rebuilt ever but were taken apart and cleaned. It starts fine and once...
Hi guys, I know the 225 is a bigger motor but would the newer 225 burn just as much as the older 150? Someone told me that these are just as bad or even worse on fuel than the 150's, is this true? Can I get some feedback from you Johnson 225 guys and anyone who has some positive info please.
Thanks
I am looking at a 225 Johnson Ocean runner that has not been used in over a year (14 months). The guy that has it said it ran good and strong all the time he just put it down for a while because the boat needed some work. I pulled the cover and all looked good besides the spark plugs are very...
