I would think best to speak to evinrude & find recomended hours, if there still running fine, depends how long you’re trips are & if you’re on the high seas abroad ie long trips.

New models have more torque and are more economical to run and are 4 strokes ( 2 strokes are now ******* to sell from dealers )
That gives you advantages over the 2 stroke versions
However depending on your financial situation, having the sacrificial plates replaced, a compression test done , and a full service on the fuel system may give you more hours of reliable operation
Talk it over with reputable dealers as there are deals that can be made and possible trade-in offers that can be enticing

SOURCE: 35hp Johnson evinrude outboard not running at full potential

Hi, did you buy your engine used? Sounds like your gonna have to get the carb or carbs cleaned. Its possible you could have a stopped up fuel filter, or not enough spark but i am guessing its gonna be the carbs. They got some gunk in em i bet. Probably old fuel turned to gunk from setting up. I had the same problem on my 40 horse.

Testimonial: "Hi, thank you very much for your help, I will strip the carb down and have a look. Once again, many thanks, I am very greatful"

SOURCE: just bought a used boat, 1966 sportscraft with an

Hi. If you just want to run the motor then you can do it in you driveway. Go to a sports store with boating equipment and ask for "Muffs" to run your boat motor out of water. You can see a pictures of outboard motor muffs on google images:

http://www.google.com/images?hl=en&source=imghp&q=muffs+for+outboard&gbv=2&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai=

Take the muffs and place them over the water intakes located above the propeller (look like vents on each side). Hook a garden hose up the muffs and start water flow. Make sure nothing is near the propeller. Make sure to pump the bulb in the fuel line to the motor until it stiffens. Crank the motor. When the motor starts, you should see water start to flow out of the back of the motor near the cover and out of the center of the propeller with the exhaust. You must keep water flow to the motor using the muffs while it is running or it will burn up.

25 evinrude outboard motor how do I tell if it’s 2 or 4 stroke

If my memory is working, a two stroke engine uses oil in the fuel for lubrication. four stroke has oil in a crank case for lubrication.

2010 150 Evinrude E-Tech. Motor was running great then just shut off. Will not start again.Could it be it needes to be reset, all 4 lights at tach light up showing good.

first bit of advice
do not use e-mix fuels in outboard engines
WHY
because ethanol separates from the fuel if not used continuously so letting it stand between outings is not good
secondly ethanol is hygroscopic which means that it absorbs moisture from the air that is going in via the tank vent and that results in corroded aluminium parts and rusted fuel tanks and outboards operate in a very moisture laden environment
now for the problem
being a late model engine , it should be a 4 stroke and like any 4 stroke engine , check the timing belt/chain, crank/cam position sensors , ignition module
it is important to check all harness connections as salt water rapidly causes corrosion in electrical connections and components
have the service agent do a scan for fault codes remember this
Suzuki out board 2 stroke motors were used in the early suzuki 4x4 cars and modern 4 stroke engines are simply car engines on end

1989 200hp evirude wont idle in water idels fine out of the water

I would readjust your idle mixture screw with engine in gear and on the water at an idle. That is a common problem after rebuilding carbs. It will run diferently under a load in the water. Just tie up to the dock and adjust them there.
