Hello all,
I have a 1990 90 hp Evinrude that is tired. I paid to have it rebuilt 2 years ago, and have since then had major problems with it--back to the shop 6 times, lock-up etc.
I took the motor to another shop and they pulled the powerhead apart and told me it wasn't fully rebuilt the first time. They didn't bore the cylinders--all they did was put in new pistions, rings and bearings and deck the block. The tech I'm dealing with now says the motor is definitely fixable and he can get it back to running the way it should. Cost will be $1400 to $1600. That's a lot of money to put into an 18- year old motor, especially since I did it once already. Is it worth it?? Thanks.
