    Brand New 2008/9 Everglades 320EX

    I am surprised there aren't any other posts here, but maybe there haven't been that many of these made yet? My friend just got delivery on this beautiful new boat here in the Boston area and I'm helping him get acquainted with all it's nooks and crannys, so if anyone else has this boat please...

    yr 2000 225HP FICHT stalls when shifting

    When I shift from forward to neutral it stalls. I know there is some kind of switch that kills the motor momentarily while shifting, but I'm unsure of it's name, if it's adjustable or if it's the problem (but it sure seems like it probably is).

    2000 225hp evinrude ficht fuse #1

    Can anyone tell me what might cause the 10 amp mini fuse #1 to blow? Afterwards I replaced the oil pump, possibly unnessarily, because of a no oil warning when the fuse blew. The fuse is holding now. I don't want this to happen again. What else does this fuse protect that I could check?

    Year 2000 225 Evinrude Ficht No Oil light

    Was running back from offshore when almost home motor slowed a little then sped back up then started to run very rough - all within 15 seconds - so I throttled back and then the No Oil light lit and the warning horn started.

    2000 Evenrude 225 Ficht dies if bulb not squeezed every so often.

    The problem started the end of last season. I've just replaced the fuel filter for that line on the boat and the filter on the motor.They were clean- no water or other stuff. The other motor dosn't have this problem. Fuel pump pumps it up fine each time the key switch is cycled. There is no...

    Evinrude Diagnostics Software - who is familier with it?

    I need to back up a inop EMM and reload it onto another good used EMM. Anyone here played around with the software? I have a cable and the software. I have only used it to reset the breaking period to zero at the beginning of every season. I am unsure if I can do it but it looks like I...

    Who can supply and remap a used or new EMM for my year 2000 225 Ficht?

    My EMM is most likely the culprit because this happened to me before a couple years ago. No spark, no warning lights. Possibly a clogged orifice in the cooling system caused the EMM to overheat. Took me forever to get it done last time. I don't have forever here in Boston. and the old company...

    Water stream getting restricted

    I seem to have water cooling passageways getting clogged / restricted.. Anyone know a good way to open them up? Water Pump is fine. Stream out back is dribling. Salt water engine but motor is tilted out of water when not in use.

    2000 225 Evinrude ficht troubles

    Port engine has no spark. I am guessing it's the EMM. Starbord engine has trouble code that says "cylinder #5 ignition primary open circuit detected" It is an intermittent problem. Any ideas anyone?

    Having just had one of my 2 (starboard) 2000 225 fichts on my 28 foot Center Console blow a rod, not really wanting to start replacing power heads, and heard all the horror stories about pre 2000 fichts, what is the scoop on which years are holding up now since I'm going to have to replace it...
