    BRP Selling many of its marine assets

    They still own the rights of the intellectual property and the rights to make parts for them and are on the hook for warranty support of the outboards still covered (dwindling but still present). That still has value they can "sell" to others.

    BRP Selling many of its marine assets

    I didn't see any topic in a search that referenced BRP selling off product divisions. I wonder how big of a mess BRP is going to create selling off most of its marine assets it merged/absorbed and managed poorly. I don't see Evinrude directly referenced in this. I'd like to see someone from...

    2013 Etec Steering Question

    Me and my brain, steering not tilt/trim. Different process but can be just as difficult or worse if disconnecting the steering arm from the steering cable does not free up the outboard. If steering is frozen on the outboard itself, that usually requires removing power head and several other...

    2013 Etec Steering Question

    You are likely looking at something similiar to this video demonstrated for a marine service shop. If it is salt water outboard, you have your work cut out for you.

    Yamaha 200 hpdi timing issues

    Thank you for clarifying, I wouldn't have been surprised if it was in place though. I believe at least the Evinrude ETEC wouldn't allow the user to change RPM while in neutral and several other current brands likely do the same as well. No need for user to alter RPM in neutral because the ECU...

    Yamaha 200 hpdi timing issues

    Briefly looking I found from Yamaha: https://yamahaonlineparts.com/collections/yamaha-outboard-engine-service-manuals-2-stroke-150-300-hp I also found what appears an official Yamaha owners & service manual finding website where you can find the part number and buy from them if need be...

    Yamaha 200 hpdi timing issues

    The pulser error code is likely very similar to a cylinder misfire code or crankshaft/camshaft offset error code being sent. Engine goes into limp mode as a protection. As stated above, need to identify the reason why pulser code is happening. Since replacing it didn't fix the issue, you...

    Winterize My 2009 Tahoe Q5i 4.3 V6

    You have to pull the drain plugs and pull the hoses that are required to drain all water out and poke where necessary to make sure no blockages are present on the drains. Then re-install them. Only after that can you hook up one of those gravity fed RV/marine antifreeze kits to the muffs, no...

    Another Winterization Thread!

    I'm surprised you didn't mention that you had a bag of microwave popcorn ready to go if things got interesting in this topic. Forum answer and a show as a bonus.

    Bought my first boat to cut, gut and rebuild from bow to stern, including engine. Killed my back and suffered the wrath of the fiberglass demons

    The OP decided to apply some marketing to the forum title? Are you a salesman? Need a new annual forum award for best forum topic title name created now. That way there's some competition on creative thought before posting

    Vintage OMC fuel tank rebuild ..

    If OEM is available, buy it from a reliable source. One of those tanks in good condition are worth rebuilding the fuel connector assembly. You will waste a lot of man hours doing re-work if those are poor quality.

    1978 Islander 22 I/O

    If you have to remove that transom assembly, that is going to be a huge challenge using 5200. That stuff is for permanent mounts such as bow and stern eyes. Some may disagree, but should have been 4200 for the bolt holes.

    Johnson 90 hp fuel line connection

    Cheap mass produced compression tester gauges are not calibrated properly. Many people complain about it. Compression tester is better for showing drastic changes in a single cylinder or as a comparison for multiple cylinders. The two best tools for true diagnosing of a cylinder condition...

    Johnson 90 hp fuel line connection

    Need more information. What is the model number on the identification tag of the outboard you are asking about? Usually that is the oil injection oil tank hose on carb'd 2 stroke outboard when oil injection is disabled. Definitely do not run that outboard unless you do pre-mix TCW-3 50:1...

    2017 115hp efi fuel issues please help

    You need 10 micron filter for fuel injected engines. 20 microns is for carb'd engines.

    2017 115hp efi fuel issues please help

    A well made water separating filter 10 microns filtration ability that is correctly installed inline of your permanent fuel tank line would not restrict your fuel flow. Many of these have max output fuel flow output ratings far more than your low pressure fuel pump is able to do.

    2013 90 4 stroke EFI - ECM errors & Gas in the Oil

    First make sure that fuel in oil is not a byproduct of float switch circuit not reporting full and verify there are no wiring/voltage drop issues that might be causing float sensor to not report correctly. If vacuum part needs replacing then that's okay, but don't shotgun diagnose. First make...

    I think this video will help provide a lot of insight on how many mercury newer EFI outboards fuel VST system works. Born Again Boating - Mercury Outboard Fuel Problem Youtube video Based on the code you mention and fuel in oil, it sounds like your float switch sensor system in the VST is not...

    1998 Johnson 175 Ficht Not Starting

    Given the reputation of FICHT engines, I'd rather trade it for a trolling motor with a boat full of deep cycle batteries and an oar than one of those engines. There's a reason they are notoriously hated. A bad design that is prone to premature failure.

    Repairing gas sensor / cables / vent gas hose

    To the OP, watch one of those videos where boats suddenly go boom due to fuel vapors. Then determine if you want to risk keeping tank in place without cleaning, inspection, and pressure test based on those photos. Some may differ, that tank looks at end of life based on the amount of corrosive...
