    I recently bougth a boat with a 1999 90 HP Evinrude SPL (non VRO). The only way I can get it to start cold is to take off the motor cover and turn the choke (red switch) to prime. After the motor starts I turn it back to normal and everything is fine....sort of a PIA to take the cover off each...

    Parts look up - need some help

    Having trouble using this site for parts look up. I find all sorts of Evinrude parts and part numbers, but how do I know what fits my engine (199 SPL 90 HP)? Is there a exploded diagram someplace of the engines and parts that I'm missing. I need a fuel pump rebuild kit for the non-VRO SPL.

    90 HP Electric Choke ?

    I have just purchased a boat with a 1998 90 HP SPL Evinrude (non oil injection). Everyone talks about the electric choke in the starting process. I have the push-in on the ignition switch, but don't see anything connected to the throttle plates? Does the choke have something to do with the...

    90 HP Identification

    When was the last year the 90 HP SPL (no oil injector) was made? I have a 1998 deckboat and the previous owner said the motor came on that boat. Everything I've seen shows the 88/90 HP engines being made earlier?? The ID plate cannot be read on this engine .

    So the boat I brought home has had salt water in the engine compartment and had about 2 to 3 inches of water in the bilge after a short tow to the ramp (boat was on lift). I've asked a few questions already, but still not clear since this is my first inboard boat. 1. Where can saltwater leak...

    Got to ask. The 99 Glastron 249 with 5.0 I just purchased needs the bellows replaced. I am a car guy so I have tools and lots of working knowledge but never tried to tackle any boat work other than drive oil changes and routine maintenance. Should I be able to do this job? I just ordered a...

    Volvo Penta 5.0 ?

    Did a little searching but could not find the answer... Looking at a Glastron 249 with a 5.0. It may have engine problems, but the price is very right. Can I use a junkyard GM block if I have problems and just add the marine items or is the block not a GM 305?

    Kicker motor question (Trolling motor)

    I have a 20 ft deck boat we just bought. Don't quite trust her yet and was wondering if I added a bow trolling motor if this would get us a mile or so up or down river in moderate current on two batteries to where we could land the boat if there were motor issues? I don't want to add a gas...

    Stuck up motor......

    Just purchased a deck boat with a 1998 Evinrude 90hp 2 stroke. Power trim and tilt worked fine on test drive. When the boat company took the boat out of the water they raised the trim to put in on the trailer supports. I noticed when I got home that the motor was raised about one half inch...

    SeaRay Sundancer 270

    I came across what I think is a great price on a very clean 1987 Sundancer 270. Is there anything structural that these boats were know to fail for? Boats looks great inside and out, twin 350 that run smooth, only problem is the AC water pump is broke, works with a jerry rig pump fine. $6000.00
