    Fuel Sender / Gauge Troubleshooting

    Well, it turns out it was both the sending unit and the gauge that were hooped. I replaced the gauge and it seems to be reading properly, although I’m not exactly sure how much fuel is in the tank. I will fill it right up then I will know if it is working properly. The gauge does move when I...

    Fuel Sender / Gauge Troubleshooting

    I just want to know if I’m on the right track here. My old fuel sending unit was showing erratic readings on the multimeter so I got a new one. Tested it on the multimeter and it was moving smoothly through the range of 30 to 240 ohms, or what would be empty to full. But when I hook it up to...

    2013 Etec Steering Question

    I ended up getting the steering freed up and completely lubricated in the simplest of ways. I unhooked the steering arm (?) from the end of the teleflex cable that goes thru tilt tube. Got a plastic hose that fit over part where cable ram (?) goes in and out when you turn steering wheel. Hose...

    True that. Would not necessarily change steering cable. New motor would just be throttle and shifters

    Cut out Switch Test.

    Correct me if I’m wrong but to see if my switch is working, when I depress it manually , it should kill the engine, correct?

    Steering seized?

    Etec model R150DSLAAB with remote steering. I know nothing about how “remote steering” works. Does this steering system need power to work? Reason is I’m looking at a boat to buy that has not operated for two years. Steering seems locked/stuck. Stored under cover in an area that does not...

    2013 Etec Steering Question

    I thought the lag in production and installation was odd as well. Wife said it was bought at 2021 boat show and installed, Evinrude dealer ran serial number, registered to the fella we are talking to. Says warrantee until 2027. Included info plate from motor and screen shot from crappy video my...

    2013 Etec Steering Question

    Ran the serial number with a Evinrude mechanic, motor is clean and still under warranty until 2027. The fella passed away and family is selling it. Apparently properly winterized properly before it was stored. Beauty Double Eagle 185 and price is more than fair. Gonna go look at it again today
