Where do I add fluid for the tilt trim on evinrude 90hp 2006 motor

The tilt and trim fluid reservoir for a 2006 Evinrude 90hp motor is typically located on the side of the tilt and trim unit, near the bottom of the motor. It may be a small plastic or metal container with a screw cap or plug. To add fluid, first, ensure the motor is in the full tilt-up position and that the tilt and trim system is not in operation. Then, remove the screw cap or plug and add hydraulic fluid until it reaches the full mark on the dipstick or sight glass. Use the recommended fluid type specified in the owner's manual or on the reservoir cap. Finally, replace the screw cap or plug and wipe away any excess fluid. It's recommended to check the fluid level periodically and add more fluid as necessary.

Where is the 85 horse Evinrude get its oil?

The 85 horsepower Evinrude outboard engine has a separate oil tank for its 2-stroke oil. The oil tank is usually located in the engine compartment and is connected to the engine through hoses. The engine's oil injection system will automatically mix the oil with the gasoline as needed, so the operator does not have to manually mix the oil and gasoline. It is important to regularly check the oil tank level and refill it as needed to ensure proper engine performance and longevity.

Anyone ever have issues with a Honda outboard shifter shorting out and shutting down engine when you push the throttle forward past trolling speed?

It seems like you may be experiencing a short in the neutral switch of your Honda outboard motor. This issue could be causing the engine to shut down when you push the throttle past trolling speed. If you're able to manually run the engine without the shifter and it runs full tilt, this could further support the possibility of a short in the neutral switch. You may want to have the switch inspected and repaired or replaced by a qualified mechanic to solve the issue.

I have a Minn Kota 315D 3 bank charger. When I plug it in to my electrical outlet only bank 1 shows a solid yellow light. I am not getting power to bank 2 and 3.

A solid yellow light on Bank 1 of your Minn Kota 315D 3 bank charger indicates that the charger is in "float" mode, which means it is maintaining the battery's charge at a safe level. It sounds like there may be an issue with the connections or wiring for Banks 2 and 3, preventing them from receiving power. Here are a few things you can try:
  • Check the connections between the charger and the batteries for Banks 2 and 3 to ensure they are tight and secure.
  • Ensure that the circuit breaker for the charger is not tripped.
  • Check the wiring for Banks 2 and 3 for any visible damage or corrosion.
  • Ensure that the batteries for Banks 2 and 3 are not in a low state of charge or are not faulty.
  • Try to reset the charger by unplugging it from the power source and plug it back in after a few minutes.
