Hi All,
I'm a newbie. Here's my question: I'm looking to replace a prop for my 1998 Evinrude 200 HP. It's carbureted not ficht. The model number is E200TXECM.
I looked at it today and there were no model #'s or info on the prop. What I'm looking for is what the standard OEM prop dimensions...
I have a 1998 200 H.P. Evinrude (carb not ficht). Bought it used last year. I need a manual to help me with minor problems: service intervals, parts, upkeep and the like. Do I need an original Evinrude owner's manual /service manual (if so, where can I get one) or would one of the after...
I have a 1998 Evinrude 200 hp (carburetor not FICHT). It runs great in forward gear and idles nicely in neutral. However, when I shift into reverse, the engine bucks and makes clunking noises. I'm in the northeast and boat is in winter storage. I would like to get the problem solved before I...
What products do you recommend to clean and restore dirty vinyl seats (they're white or at least they were)? Also, what do you recommend for cleaning and restoring fiberglass deck, topsides and hull? The boats is a 1998. Thank you.
I'm looking at a 1998 Evinrude 200 (carbureted not a FICHT) as part of a package. I'm going to have the shop that services the engine for the seller do a compression check. What should the compression be? What's acceptable and what is not? What other things should I be looking for? I'm told...
I'm looking at a boat and motor combo. The engine is a 1998 200 evinrude. I've been told by the seller that it is a carbureted engine and not a ficht. I thought that evinrude only made ficht during this period. Could it be a carb? If it is a carb what is the opinion of this engine? I've...
I'm looking at a 23 foot sunbird neptune walkaround with the engine on a bracket. I like the idea of the closed transom, it gives more usable cockpit space. Does anyone have any knowledge, opinion, or comments on this boat? Thanks.

Have been looking for a used boat and engine. I keep on seeing late 90's and 2000 Evinrudes on "good priced" packages. Most recently, I saw a 23' w/a that I liked with a 200 hp evinrude. I spoke to the owner/seller and he was aware of the ficht problems and told me that this 1998 200 hp...
I'm looking at a 1980 grady white 240 offshore. It comes with a new(ish) engine and trailer. Of course, I'm going to get a mechanic to look at the engine and maybe a survey. The price is good. The gel goat is chalky and there is some pitting in the anti fouling paint. My questions: anyone...
I'm looking at several used boats (and motors). The engines on the baots that I'm considering are a 1998 175hp Johnson; a 1998 200hp Evinrude and a 2000 Evinrude 225hp. All are Ficht engines with supposedly low hours. I've heard and read discussion on the problems with these engines, but the...
I'm looking at buying a used 23' walkaround with a 1998 200 h.p. Evinrude. After doing some research, I see all sorts of negative information on these motors. Should I run away from this purchase? I like the boat but obviously I'm concerned with the engine. Any advice would be appreciated
