I am brand new to boating and to this forum, so be patient.<br /><br />I have a 1999 Evinrude 90 HP Ficht O/B. I bought it brand new in 2004 from a Dealer that was bankrupt. I have ran the motor approximately 5 hours before winterizing it last fall. This spring I started up the motor and ran it twice. On the second occassion it ran out of injection oil. I filled it up and it ran out again.<br /><br />I began to notice an oil leak from the motor (rainbow in the water behind the boat when docked).<br /><br />Therefore, the problem is a leak and a consumption problem.<br /><br />I have taken the boat to a Marina in Ontario, Canada and they have told me that the oil injection pump needs to be replaced/rebuilt. The marina service department has the rebuild kit ($735.16) plus requires two hours labour.<br /><br />I am upset as the motor was fine last fall and now has this problem, plus the fact that the motor, although old in years, is brand new in use.<br /><br />Obviously, as the motor is over 5 years old there is no warranty, and I am at a loss as to what to do.<br /><br />Has anyone had a similar thing happen to them?<br />Does anyone have any other opinions as to what is going on?<br />Does anyone have any other suggestions for repairs?<br />If it must be repaired, does anyone have suggestions for honest/good service place near Muskoka/Mactier/Parry Sound, Ontario Canada?<br /><br />Thanks.
