    Oil Injection failure..:(

    '97 Evinrude Ocean Pro 200HP Well, it finally happened to me. The oil injection system on my usually reliable Ocean Pro quit. The aural and visual warnings let me know it quit but I had to run it at idle for a few minutes to get out of the channel. The engine quit shortly thereafter. Got a tow...

    Power trim and tilt

    '97 200 Evinrude--Ok pros, here's the problem: PT&T leaks due to pitting on the hydraullic ram shaft. The illustrated parts catalog describes the hydraullic ram as the "rod and eye."

    Stratos 97' 2100 CC, 200 Ocean Pro

    I'm looking at this Stratos purchase and am very surprised at its excellent condition. I'm familiar with the Stratos brand however, through name recognition only. I know it is part of Genmar holdings which is good.<br /><br />Looking for input on saltwater reliability, performance, durability...

    96' Yamaha 150 Saltwater Series: 400 hours

    Idles rough and often stalls. Occasionally has good spurts of idle power when all 6 are hitting but doesn't last long...just a second or two and then its idling rough again or stalling.<br /><br />When accelerating, the roughness goes away but when the RPM's come up to around 3000, and if you...
