    Evinrude 88SPL TattleTale on Earmuffs Question

    I have a 1994 Evinrude 88SPL motor on my '01 Key Largo 172CC. My wife recently had our second child so I hadn't fired up the motor in about 8 weeks. Tonight I was prepping the boat for fishing in the morning and after cleaning the boat itself, hooked up the motor to the hose and earmuffs...

    Boat unstable on plane

    I have an '01 Key Largo 172 CC powered by a '95 Evinrude 88SPL (90HP). I'm having a stability issue when the boat is on plane and the water is anything but calm. There is a small bay (mile wide) on the river I fish and when crossing it with any wind, the boat jerks side-to-side abruptly when...

    Livewell Filling/Aeration Issue

    When I purchased my boat the previous owner said the livewell pump had gone out and need replacing. So I bought one and put it in, using the same wiring and plumping. So now when I turn it on, you can hear the pump running (unlike before) but it doesn't fill up the tank. I've tried getting it...

    '94 Evinrude 88 SPL losing power randomly

    I'm pretty much a nooblet when it comes to boats but I'm not new to forums so I searched!!! I bought my first boat a few months back. Like the title states, its an '94 Evinrude 88 SPL motor and a Key Largo 172 CC boat (2000). The first 5-6 times I had it out it ran great no problems. Had 5...
