    Does it matter where the recirculation hoses are routed? (1992 90hp V4)

    I'm just finishing up the powerhead for my project boat but I'm not sure if the routing of the recirculation valves is important. Do the hoses need to be a certain length or routed a certain way to move the fuel effectively? The motor is a 1992 90hp ve90tlend crossflow. The way I have them...

    Head gasket installation and potential water flow problems.

    This is a little long but I thought I would include as much info as possible. I think there is some head gasket installation confusion that prevents proper cooling of the lower starboard cylinder on Evinrude/Johnson V4 powerheads. My service manual(Clymer. Yea, I know) doesn't give very...

    Vacuum ports clogged on 90hp power head (pics)

    I'm in the process of pulling apart 2 power heads and both of them have clogged vacuum ports on the bypass covers. Each power head has one on the port and starboard sides. What is the purpose of these ports and why are they so small, allowing them to become easily clogged?

    I bought a parts motor last week and these gauges were thrown in. I would like to use them on my project boat but almost all the needles are broken. Does anyone know how these gauges come apart?

    1977 85hp or 1964 90hp Cylinder Heads on a 1988 90hp Evinrude? [PICS]

    I have a bad head gasket and pulled the heads to do the repairs. The cylinder head with the bad gasket has corroded bolts holding the top water jacket cover on and the other one shows damage left from rings after the cylinder was rebuilt. I have access to some 1977 85hp Evinrude heads for...

    Need help identifying Evinrude Outboard with Power Tilt and Trim

    When I bought this outboard, the previous owner told me it was an 88 model but I can't find any numbers on it. I think the power tilt and trim arn't origional but can't be sure. The electric motor on the tilt and trim unit needs new brushes and I need to order parts for the engine soon. Any...

    15' Sport-Craft Sprint project

    This is my first boat. I just picked it up last week for $350 and hope to have the entire project stay under $1500. The floor was in very bad shape and had to be removed. It didn't come with any interior so all that will me made from scratch. I plan to do all the work myself. I have a lot...
