Evinrude oil tank with Yamaha outboard?

[jedimaster]

Can I hook up an 89 Yamaha 225 excel to a 94 Evinrude XP 200 oil tank? Switching outboards. Think I should just press mix? Or should I buy a Yamaha oil tank, connect the Evinrude tank? Any input would be greatly appreciated.

No you cannot use the evinrude tank. The Yamaha I believe has a tank under the hood that gets filled from the external tank with a lift pump. So you will need the tank, wiring harness and the pump. The Evinrude uses 1 pump to do everything.
