    2000 - 225 Evinrude Fitch EMM Question

    Update: she is now back up and running. After thoroughly exhausting all other options, I did end up taking my EMM off and taking it to DFI technologies. Chet told me that he found some internal parts that needed to be replaced, basically what everyone seemed to think from the beginning. I took...

    2000 - 225 Evinrude Fitch EMM Question

    I’m also going to purchase the EV diagnostics that you recommend so I can stop pulling my hair out. I see that there is an Evinrude ETec on Amazon, will that also diagnose the Fitch or do I have to purchase once specifically for this motor. I would hate to buy one that’s not going to diagnose my...

    2000 - 225 Evinrude Fitch EMM Question

    That makes perfect sense why it’s always activated. Your correct that we are a long way away from the EMM, I have a new relay that should be here in the next day or so. If I swap that out and she still gets hot then I’m assuming it’s gonna be the good old EMM. So I tried another quick test…ran...

    2000 - 225 Evinrude Fitch EMM Question

    That’s a lot of valuable info…I did download the schematic like you said. One thing that is weird is when I turn the key to the on position and let it sit there for about 10 minutes the 70amp relay starts really warming up…it again will get up to about 200 degrees in about 10 minutes, which then...

    2000 - 225 Evinrude Fitch EMM Question

    Ahhhhh….that is very interesting regarding the trim and tilt. So I’ve noticed the last 3 or 4 times I’ve taken her on the water that the trim and tilt are not working on the main throttle selector thumb switch. When she is just sitting there though with no key in the ignition and not warmed up...

    2000 - 225 Evinrude Fitch EMM Question

    Update: So I checked the water pump again just to be 100% sure it not the issue…it’s good. I next went to pulling both thermostats to let it run for 10 minutes just to see how the engine responded. Took temps on the heads near the spark plugs and they stayed right around 115, whereas they were...

    I’m sorry I’m not sure what the T&T is that you’re referring to. First boat owner here…lol

    2000 - 225 Evinrude Fitch EMM Question

    Quick update…yesterday I made up a temporary connector to run garden hose water directly through the EMM while the engine was running. After running for about 10 minutes I shut down the engine…went to restart it immediately and went back to all 3 lights on with “no crank.” Checked the EMM and...

    Unfortunately your probably right but I’m trying not to “B.O.A.T” if I don’t absolutely have to.

    2000 - 225 Evinrude Fitch EMM Question

    That’s a very interesting read,and I hope to dive into that a little bit closer today and see if my relays are also acting up. Thanks for passing that on, much appreciated.

    Sorry about that…apparently it’s a 2001. Model number is E225FPLSIF. Having a heck of a time finding the correct manual

    2000 - 225 Evinrude Fitch EMM Question

    Sure did, was hoping that was the issue. I’m getting a really strong stream out of the tale tale so I don’t thinks it’s an impeller issue. I might try to throw in a quick video just so everyone can see the pressure going through the EMM. Just checked both thermostats as well and they both open...

    2000 - 225 Evinrude Fitch EMM Question

    Current problem - motor starts right up and purs like a kitten. She runs great for about 20 minutes and then will shut down. All three lights on dash are on “three finger salute” and she won’t start back up for sometimes a half hour or longer. When she does she purs like a kitten again for about...
