    Negative exhaust pressure, 2000 225 Ficht

    This might be normal but I've never seen it with this engine. (my only experience) I winterized my engine today and for chuckles I had my lap top hooked up. While the engine was warming up I took a couple of data snapshots. At 575 RPM data is showing -0.31" H2O exhaust back pressure. It was as...

    testing stator and trigger output, tools to use

    Hi, I let it fester for a couple of weeks but the '94 Ocean Pro 200 I'm working on still doesn't have spark. I checked cranking speed by using my phone to record flywheel turns in slomotion. I think it's cranking at 244rpm but I wouldn't bet a lot on that being 100% accurate and it's mighty...

    94 Ocean Pro 200, 2 questions: no spark and compression testing

    Hi all, I got rid of the mouse nests and reassembled what I believe to be a 1994 Ocean Pro, model # unknown. I now have 2 questions. 1.) It doesn't start because there is no spark. I checked the stop circuit and according to the half's**d shop manual that came with my Ficht diagnostic software...

    need help identifying engine year, Ocean Pro 200

    Short story is I belong to a sailing club that had a boat donated. Because in the valley of the blind the one eyed man is king I'm working on it. Model number is gone off of sticker and there are also no spark plugs in it because it was at a shop that said mice were living in it. I hoped they...

    engine hour gauge not working

    I have a 2000 225 Ficht E225FPXSSC and my hour meter has stopped working. The shop manual schematic ends at the engine harness connectors so I don't know where this gauge gets it's positive signal from. I don't even know if its wiring is part of the factory wiring as the wire that disappears...

    2000 225 Ficht no oil alarm issue

    Hi all, I have a 2000 225 Ficht engine (SSC last 3 of model#) that sets a no oil alarm under one very specific condition. I have a 20 minute no wake zone passage from my dock to open water and after about 10 minutes of this my no oil alarm comes on. The engine will idle all day without an issue...

    2000 Evinrude 225 thrust washer to go with Solas prop

    I have a new Solas Amita 3 prop for my 2000 Evinrude 225 (SSC model) The thrust washer that is currently on the engine has too big a diameter to fit into the hub on the new prop. Are there different diameter thrust washers or are there ever props that don't need thrust washers?

    Sea Star HH5271 fittings

    Hi, my boat has a Sea Star HH5271 2.4 helm pump that was leaking from one of the fittings. The fittings as installed were 1/4"NPT nipples with elbows and adaptor fittings to the hoses. Short story: one of the nipples broke off. I've drilled it out and will get it to work but while looking for...

    Water pump issue, what am I missing

    Water pump was brand new this spring. Engine last ran May 18th with a good strong pisser stream. I sent my EMM out for repair (Eric at Marine Computer Supply is awesome!) because of a self inflicted problem. I reinstalled the EMM today and the engine started on the second try and idled normally...

    AGM battery melt down or gremlins

    engine is a 2000 225 Evinrude. Engine ran fine when I winterized it in December. I cleaned all of my battery connections today, hooked the batteries up and turned on #1, the AGM. Immediately there were significant sparks from the positive terminal. I turned the battery back off, disconnected the...

    prop diameter vs. pitch

    What is the trade off between prop diameter and pitch? I am looking for a different prop for my boat because the 14.25" x 21 prop that is currently on it limits it to 5100 rpm at WOT. I used the Mercury prop calculator and there are a lot of choices but two of them are 15.5 X 18 and 14.5 X 19...

    oil injector hose 225 Evinrude FICHT

    I have a minor oil leak someplace behind the throttle bodies on my engine and want to replace all of the oil hoses back there. The oil injectors hose is 3/32"ID X 1/4" OD. I would like to buy the hose in bulk instead of having to buy 6 24" pieces. I am trying to determine the material (or a...

    water pump not pumping after sitting and diagnosing slow crank

    I fixed my slow crank issue so now my 2000 225 Ficht runs. The problem is the water pump isn't pumping. I did crank the engine numerous times with water connected to the engine. (longest crank time was maybe 10 seconds while measuring crank speed) I dropped the lower end today to see what's...

    What speed should starter crank motor at. 225 Ficht

    I have been trying to diagnose a no spark issue with my 225 Ficht. I replaced the CPS because of bad ohm readin and I took the starter apart and it appeared to be in good shape. I cleaned and lubricated the starter and put it back on the engine but do no avail. By taking a slow motion video I...

    2000 Evinrude 225 spark plug gap

    Can someone tell me what the spark plug gap should be for a 2000 Evinrude 225 Ficht? Shop manual says consult emissions sticker but the sticker is gone off of this engine. Currently has Champion QC12PEP plugs but I think I want to try some NGK's. Not that I'm not going to index them but does...

    PRV

    I'm trying to diagnose a no spark issue on a 2000 Evinrude 225 Ficht motor. The manual says to check coil voltage with a PRV but it does not give a list of acronyms anyplace in the manual. Does anyone know what Evinrude means by "PRV"?

    solder or butt connectors

    I've worked on cars for a long time and would always rather solder and heat shrink two wires together as opposed to using crimp connectors. I have to replace a diode in my outboards wiring harness. The diode I am replacing uses crimp connectors but I think that is a labor saving ploy on the...

    spark plugs for 2000 225 Evinrude Ficht motor

    I'm not mentioning any names but I was told by one of the guys who fixes EMMs that there is an NGK plug that works better than the Champions that Evinrude calls for. Her did not know the number off the top of his head and his mantra was "dude your EMM is broken, send it to me." which did not...

    What affects idle speed on Ficht engines?

    Specifically a 2000 225. My engine idles too low (380-400 RPM) and I was under the impression this is controlled by the EMM. I was told today that is not the case that there has to be a different problem. I do know I have good compression in all 6 cylinders and spark in all 6 cylinders. The...

    Evinrude idling at 400 RPM

    My Evinrude 225 stalls when I shift into gear. I've been going crazy trying to diagnose this. Bottom line is that the thing is idling at 380-400 rpm per my Fluke 88 and I'm sure the low idle is why it's stalling. I read the EP sensor can do this but disconnecting the exhaust side hose makes no...
