    Did I hurt a cylinder?

    Started my '97 115 after sitting for the winter, and it started right up, but it wasn't running on all cylinders. It was idling low and you could just hear that maybe one cylinder wasn't firing. I shut it down, made sure all the the wires were on tight, and re-started, and it still wasn't...

    WOT RPM for a FICHT?

    I've searched around a bit trying to find out about WOT RPM for a FICHT engine. Is WOT RPM as critical to a DI engine as much as it is to a carbed engine? Should a FICHT be seeing a minimum of 5800 WOT RPM also to not be lugged? This would be for a 200HP FICHT, just a general inquiry, not for...

    Just need to know about the OX66 shift rod

    I am doing a water pump on a 2000 OX66 and just need to know the procedure to disconnect the shift rod, if any. I see that it looks like, at least on the 4 strokes, it is just a splined shaft, but not sure if the OX66 is the same way. Also been doing a lot of searching and reading about the SS...

    Doing a Yami water pump VS OMC

    Gonna be doing a water pump on my 200hp OX66 for the first time. I have only ever owned OMC's, and have done many of those pumps. Are there very many differences in the Yami pumps compared to OMC's? Is the process basically the same? Is the shift rod release basically the same? Thanks for...

    Are Sea Pro and Sea Boss the same?

    I have a '97 Sea Pro, and I know it was made before Brunswick bought them, but I have seen a lot of Sea Boss's around that look very similar and I suspect that they are owned/made by Brunswick as well. All in all how are the quality on the Brunswick made Sea Pro boats? Thanks.

    Sea Hunt made by Brunswick

    I have a friend looking at Sea Hunt's and I was wondering if they are made by Brunswick, seems like a lot of brands are. Also are they similar quality to Sea Pro and Sea Boss's? Thanks.

    What does the bubbleback do?

    I have had engines (V4) both with and without the bubbleback. What exactly does the bubbleback do? I know it is something with the exhaust, but just don't exactly know what it does or why it's there. All I know is that it makes it's next to impossible for me to do my T-stats. I have once...

    T-stat bypass hoses?

    I have a 2000 Johnson 200hp, and noticed two hoses coming off of what I think is the T-stat, towards the top of the powerhead, maybe they are bypass hoses?. There is a short hose that goes to the Port head and a long hose that goes to the Starboard head. The short hose that goes to the Port...

    Is it possible to.....

    put an impeller key in backwards, and how long would it take after running the engine, before I noticed a problem? I did a water pump on my 200hp Johnson this weekend and I am pretty sure I put the key in the right way, but the impeller slid over it so easily, that I have convinced myself that...

    CRC Engine Tuner/Decarb question

    I usually use the OMC Tuner to decarb my Johnson, but this time I bought the CRC Tuner/Decarb, because it was all the store had with the primer shreader valve on it. The OMC Tuner directions say to use two 2 second bursts per cylinder and then a final 20 second burst or until the engine stalls...

    Johnson 115 Lower Unit No Oil

    Hi, I had my lower unit re-sealed about 2 weeks ago. I told them not to replace the oil, as I have a quart of HPF that I wanted to use. I haven't gotten around to filling it up with oil yet, so it's been sitting for about 2 weeks or so without oil. I will be filling it up this weekend. I was...

    1993 Evinrude 115 turned backwards

    Hi, first time posting. I was winterizing my engine and after I sprayed fogging oil down each cylinder and put the plugs back in, I spun the flywheel a couple of times and realized I was spinning it backwards, clockwise. I realized it and then turned it a few times in the right direction...
