    1998 90HP Evinrude Problems!

    Use a dial indicator to line up the spindle / boring head to be true to the bore.-----The machine I saw in operation uses a probe where you touch the bore in 3 random places and touch a button and BOOM the machine knows the center.----Takes but seconds instead of 10 minutes.

    What year is this Evinrude Fastwin?

    Where do you see that a 15020 is a 7 1/2 HP ??----From the picture in post #1 it is clear that this is NOT a 7 1/2 HP motor.-----Just take a close look at that listing for a 1957 model 7 1/2 and you would clearly identify it as the 18 HP motor.-----Just another example of mistakes on that website.
