    Coil wire gauge? Powerpack to coil

    1990 evinrude 120hp, I just bought new boots and connectors to replace the connection between the powerpack and coil because one of mine is horrid, but they came in the individual pieces and no wire and the woman at the parts counter didn't know what wire gauge I need. I'd check the ones on...

    How do I get temp sensor out? Evinrude 120

    88-91 evinrude 120hp, a local guy replaced my port head with one he had lying around because it looked in better shape than the one I had. Now per help from this forum I am diagnosing for SLOW issues. Checked my overheat alarm and both sides made it sound when I grounded them so. EDIT: Won't go...

    '90 Evinrude 120hp shift adjustments and no WOT

    After removing the gearcase and installing a new seal kit I've got issues setting the shift linkages which are no longer working properly in their original positions. Motor off, the remote shifter hits the detents quickly and the gears engage F and R easily with N feeling good too. Motor...

    What lower units can my 120hp '88-91 use?

    My motor is an evinrude 120hp in the 1988-91 range. No way to tell the exact year someone did a full job of removing such evidence before i got it. So now my foot is shot and I would like to find a replacement. Found a local mechanic who took it off and changed the water pump and did a few other...

    Can't identify my motor

    I purchased this rebuilt Evinrude from a local shop who told me it was a 1993 90hp. It seem quite a bit larger than my previous 1983 Johnson 90hp although that may be irrelevant.. There is no plate on the outside of the motor or the transom mount and no stamping. There is no stamping to be...

    Losing RPMs and coil/wire issues

    1990something 120hp Evinrude. Last two times it's had problems after running a while. First time I ran it hard about 40 minutes out and then the RPMs started dropping a lot (from 4500 down to 2800 or so) with some very minor vibrations and then coming back, or else staying down until I ran it...

    Oil slicks and gelcoat

    That oil is heading my way apparently, NW Florida, does anyone know what this means for boating? I mean clearly I don't expect to be out there cruising through the sludge, but are the sheens and what we're going to be dealing with for the next few months bad for my hull?

    Can't find this thru-deck cable fitting

    This grommet-like fitting has collapsed in on its self and doesn't keep the water out anymore. I've done some googling but am only coming up with single wire fittings and nothing that would accomodate my steering cable and other wires. Links or suggestions greatly appreciated.

    Do I need isolators with BEP VSR?

    I did a search on this but didn't find any definitive answers on whether or not the isolators in the wiring diagram provided by BEP are required. Goal here is to use my large deep cycle only as a starter, and small deep cycle in the console for all of my accessories and have the small battery...

    Can't find model number

    A little while back I bought an evinrude 90hp from a local shop and they told me it was a '93 but after buying some replacement parts it's became clear that it is not a 93. A full inspection of the outer body of the motor shows no model number or serial number stamped or on a plate. Is there...

    I just got this rebuilt motor from a shop, and i saw it running while they were doing adjustments and it pushing water through fine. Get it home and try to start it on the muffs and nothing.. Is it supposed to start peeing immediately, or even while it's still off? I've run it about 5 seconds...

    Anywhere from 2/3 to full up position, when i tilt down, the tilt motor runs but it has this dead spot starting at full up where it just makes its RRRRRRRR noise, then it catches after about 10 seconds and continues down like nothing happened. During that dead space the motor is free, and if you...
