Well, I don't want to count my chickens before they hatch but....
replaced the pressure switch/sensor on the oil lift pump ($45) and had someone squeeze the oil bulb while I screwed it in to eliminate any air. Turned on the engine 3x for a few minutes each, no "No Oil" light. It was previously...
Appreciate it.
I did find the codes on the page:
SO, the engine has 128:09:15 hours on it. I guess that is reflective of the current EMM since I replaced it and the one on it is not original to the engine?
Current Engine Faults: No active faults found

Yea, that's true value wise...though I bought the EMM months ago...but at that point, what was I going to do? Repower or buy an EMM? A decent used engine is at least $1,500 where I am for 70HP. An EMM for $200+repair job of $400 seemed a better short-term approach for the wallet. I'm not mad, I...
EDITED after I found the page with the code. Must've missed it like a doofus~
Not sure why you are ripping me here. The parts I bought above were $250 total which is definitely better than having to spend the time, money, and sweat looking for a new motor and repowering.
But to your point, I...

I know the complaints/hate regarding my engine....that all aside, just trying to get a sense of what the most likely issue is related to this alarm.
1) Pressure...
Thanks for all of the feedback. The engine definitely went into safe mode while I was driving it as the No Oil light came on and I couldnt go above 2500rpms without sputtering. The mechanic I use(d) is an Evinrude specific mechanic and he used the software. I actually updated my EMM in the last...
So I recently had my 1999 FICHT 90hp serviced. I had to get a new EMM off ebay and then get that fixed so needless to say, this boat has been giving me trouble. After finally having it on the water 4 times, I started getting the "No Oil" light despite oil being in the separate tank. My boat...
I just mounted my "new" 1998 Evinrude 90hp(FICHT), but I still need the throttle/cables from the original owner. The owner is saying that the throttle on the boat wasn't one of those that was meant to just take off and remount (idk what that means) and that he has a 1987 Johnson 120 throttle...
Hey All!
I previously had a 1983 85hp Chrysler outboard that gave me a ton of problems and ultimately became really hard to troubleshoot (not to mention no mechanic in my area would even give it the time of day). The engine ended up having 0 compression on the bottom cylinder, so I considered...
Well, looks like I might have gunked this up! If you've seen my previous posts, I have an 85hp Chrysler that has been giving me some trouble since I bought it (would bog down and die after 25-30mins WOT). When I took apart and rebuilt the carbs, my first trip out maxed out at 10mph, so I took...
Hey all!
I've made a few posts (so far) about my frustrations with my current 1983 Chrysler 85hp. I recently saw an ad for an 1987 Force 85hp that is being sold for pretty cheap, so I am wondering what everyone's opinion is between the two? I realize that the 87 is obviously newer, but I also...
Hey everyone!
I have a 12-13ft aluminum duck boat with a 25hp Johnson tiller/shaft motor. The engine probably hasn't been started for 7-10 years (it's an early 90s motor I think), so I am not sure what it would take to get it started.
I am looking to sell it and get it out of the yard, but I...
I have a 1983 16ft bowrider and I am looking for opinions on some of the repowering options I have. It is rated for up to a 115hp outboard.
1) Currently has an 83' Chrysler 85hp
I've seen a couple ads for
1) Mid 90s Johnson Gt100
2) 86' Mercury 115hp
3) Envinrude 88 SPL
Any opinions on those...
