    Correct water output flow

    Recently replaced the impeller on our 2001 Mercury 90 ELPTO after not being used for the last year and a half (COVID and other issues). I wanted to make sure the water being expelled from the anode area and the front mounting bolts into the steering area are good and its normal. Want to be 100%...

    Throttle and shift cables for new “used” 90 hp Merc

    My old Evinrude finally died on me last year so I found a marine shop about an hour and a half away that would take the old motor and give me credit towards a refurbished one. They mounted the 2001 Mercury 90ELPTO but said we would have to finish the rest of the rigging. I have found a binnacle...

    Spark plug issue

    I have a 1999 90hp Evinrude (FICHT). The label on the outboard says to use NGK PZFR5F for the spark plugs. When I go through the evinrude website it tells me to use QL78YC Champion Spark Plug for the (*90 / 115 (60? LV)) motor. Currently there are Champion 7712 plugs in there now. I do have...

    1999 Evinrude 90hp FICHT starting issue

    I have a 1999 90hp FICHT on my pontoon boat. The outboard runs fine and only has 1 minor issue. While on the lake sometimes the engine will not start right away. It may take 4-5 tries on the ignition to get it to catch. Other times it catches 1st try and no issues. I cannot figure out the rhyme...
