2 stroke or 4 stroke? If 2 stroke, where is the oil tank, and does the VRO system still work?

[rolmops]

The Ficht system is a 2 stroke system. Ficht is what caused  Evinrude/Johnson to go bankrupt  Please do your homework on that one.

This outboard is a 2 stroke with a remote oil tank that can be positioned where it would be the best fit for a particular boat.  Outboard is fully operable.

Thanks for the heads up. I've done my research and there appears to be a "few good ones" that slipped through the cracks. Never hurts to ask questions.

Isn't that after Bombardier bought OMC and fixed the issue with the FICHT motors? 

[Roland J]

I believe Bombardier bought OMC in 2000.  The motor I have for sale has a pinned head which bombardier started putting on their outboards at some point.  

[Todd in NY]

Does the motor have the OMC logo or the BRP logo on it?

 

Also, what is the charging capacity of that motor? My 1989 150 Evinrude has a much lower charging capacity the the 1989 175. I know this because both motors are listed in the same owner's manual.

[Roland J]

The labels on the engine are OMC. That being said, I  did a little online research this morning. OMC declared bankruptcy in 2000 and BRP acquired them in February of 2001.  The model number of my particular outboard indicates that it is a 2001 model year.  The pinned heads on it are the upgrades to fix the early problems on the ficht motors.  I don't have the original owners manual but a little research states that charging capacity on the V6 is 10 amps at idle and up to 50 amps at higher rpm's.

Thanks for the information, much appreciated!
