Hi,<br />You may want to follow the thread with<br />Topic: "New 99 Ficht, ADVICE NEEDED!"<br />earlier.<br />IF the outboard you are interested in is<br />a "ficht" (I do not know).<br /><br />/Bo
E-Evinrude<br />225- hp<br />T-Electric start ,Trim and Tilt<br />X- 25" transom<br />EU-1997<br />D-model run<br />So it looks like you got a carb engine and not a Ficht.I don't mind those big looper engines but they are heavy on the fuel. I wouldn't be using it for trolling as they tend to carbon up.
Check the upper bearing housing bolts, if loose, remove, clean bolt, clean threads in block, loctite red, install bolt, tighten with torque wrench. Check the upper engine mount bolts, the ones on the outside.
