    FICHT Injector Signal

    Does anyone know what the Pulse Width and Duty Cycle is for the Fuel Injectors on a E175MFXSOS (2005, 175HP). I have come-up with set-up to test the injectors but need to know the operating parameters. Would like to know the info for an angine at idle and maybe 4K-5K RPM. Thanks, Tony

    LH vs RH Lower

    I have twin std rotation '05 175 Evinrudes. Found a LH rotation lower from a '03 200(?) Evinrude. I am/was in the process of installing it on my port engine. Before I tried installing, I noticed that the shift rod was different, so I swapped it w/ the one from my std rotation lower. When trying...

    Lower unit gear ratio

    I have a pair of '05 175 Evinrudes, non-counter rotating.....looking to possibly get a used counter rotating lower..... Are all the Magnum lower unit gear ratios the same? 1.85:1? Do they change w/ # of cylinders or HP. I'm coming from a Mercruiser I/O background....

    1st Launch of '05 175 Evinrudes

    Launched the boat today with some disappointing results....... Launched boat, started engines w/ no problems, idled @ 650RPM after warm-up. Backed away from the ramp and was impressed with how well the engines idled and spun the boat when the engines were shifted in opposite directions. After...

    2005 175 Evinrude Running Cold

    While monitoring my Twin 175's with the EV Software, it appears one is running much cooler than the other. After allowing both engines to idle for ~10 min on the muffs, 1 stabilizes at ~91* and the other at ~141*. Any suggestions on how I might find the faulty thermostat? I know there are 3...

    Counter Rotating vs. Std Rotating Gearcases

    I replaced a pair of counter rotating engines w/ non-counter rotating engines. I didn't replace the controls..... I did check that the engines are shifting, but I didn't check the direction of the prop shafts. I am hoping my remote controls don't need to change, going from counter rotating to...

    1st '05 175 Ficht is ALIVE!

    Got the Stb engine started. Primed the oil system, wasn't easy. Wound up using a brake-bleeder tool. Was able to get the oil flowing all the way through the engine back to the tank. Filled the engine mounted fuel filter and primed w/ the bulb. Have to say the engine started a lot easier than I...

    '95 Johnson 175 Intermittent Flooding (?)

    Have twin '95 175 Johnsons. When trolling (w/ 2 engines) 1 engine seems to "load-up" and start to sputter and smoke more while in gear. if I shift into neutral the idle rpms shoot to ~2K.......and eventually "clears-out" and will run fine at 4K cruise again. Any ideas on what this could be?

    Not too familiar w/ the steering mechanism on outboards. Bought a boat this past season w/ twin '95 175 Johnsons.......has a hydraulic helm. Steering seems very tight as compared to my last boat w/ a 35p Mag Mercruiser which I could steer w/ 1 finger like a car. I plan on disconnecting the...
