Hi,

I just purchased one of the 2008 90HP 4-strokes from iboats. I won't have the motor shipped for at least another month so that gives me some time to get the boat ready. The following is what I understand I'll need for parts:

*Prop (I'm weighing 17" or 19" on a very light 19' aluminum boat, lighter than most 17' similar models which generally take a 19" pitch)
*Control (single side mount)
*Control cables
*Wiring harness (apparently I need a 14-pin?)
*Gauges (tach & tilt/trim, I already have voltage & fuel). I don't need fuel management but do want basic warning functions at a minimum)
*Wiring harness & sensor for tilt/trim gauge if not sold with gauge
*Appropriate fluids (engine and lower unit oil?)

Thanks,
Biederboat

I would appreciate if someone could verify that this is what I need, make any part recommendations and also point me to any cost-competitive sources. It's likely I'll actually need to talk to a human as I don't know the exact part numbers of the above items so it would be nice to have a source with some on-hand expertise. I would like to order and install the parts in advance to the greatest extent possible since the motor only has a 60-day warranty (giving me the maximum window of opportunity to use it).

Re: Need parts recommendations for new motor installation

You've pretty much covered the bases.
You might wanna be prepared to redrill the holes in the transom (?).
