You have not told us what motor you have, you only said 2003 FICHT.
If it is a V4, you may have bendix problems, worn bendix shaft bushin, or maybe a warped or damaged flywheel cover
My heart goes out to you and prayers for your wife.
I had to make the hard decision whether to let her go comfortably in hospice or to extend perhaps 2 months of her life but with the after...
If you do not use Evinrude's HPF Pro, then use another well-known brand such as the Mercury/Quicksilver High Performance gear oil but change it every season or 100 hours, whichever comes first.

From BRP Evinrude about new XPS oil container design:

You may have noticed our updated [oil] packaging.
We understand that adjusting the branding of our well known oil can be...
You are correct.
My post (#5) concerned the link that Fireball posted which showed the wrong gear oil for an outboard.
https://www.amazon.ca/BRP-XPS-Synthetic-Gear-Oil/dp/B07BLJ5YS4
HPF Pro is the proper semi-synthetic blend outboard motor gearcase oil for Johnsons and Evinrudes
The BRP XPS-Synthetic oil link that Fireball posted is not for Evinrude outboard motors.
Connect a clip-on ammeter to the positive battery cable. Run the battery down a bit using pumps and lights, trim, jackplate,etc. Then start the motor up and watch the charging amps on the ammeter at...
It is possible as the rectifier has a separate circuit that takes one of the AC voltages from the stator and converts them into a square wave signal the feeds the tach.
Thank you, everyone, for your kind words. Keep in mind that Championman also lost his wife just a few weeks ago.

Use the parts listing link that the "large rabbit" posted for you, but note that your motor is a 2004 model, not 2003.
Look at the hose routing section and you will find 3 thermostats on the...
Ya gotta give the wiring harnesses and the connections the "wiggle test." With the key to ON, start shaking and manipulating the wires foot by foot and at the back of the gauges. Hopefully during...
E-TEC injectors cannot be rebuilt as they are a welded up unit, not repairable.
Injection Masters and Barnacle Bill's clean and flush out injectors only, test them for proper resistance, and use...
The Check Engine light is just like the one in your car or truck, when it comes on it could mean any number of things. As mentioned already, any error codes will be stored in memory and easily...
Gasoline will erode (enlarge the bore) of brass high speed jets over time which definitely affect how an engine performs. Combine a worn jet (making the engine run richer) with humid summertime...
How much would you pay for a pig in a poke, for a used car that could not be test driven, or a used house that you could not walk thru ?
At least first hire a trained E-TEC technician with a...
The temps on each cylinder head may be slightly different due to the tolerances of the thermostats.
When you think about it, an injector delivers a minute amount of fuel when activated and the pressure buildup is in the hundreds of psi, so the opening of the pintle valve is very slight and...
The injector nozzle is kept in place when the unit is bolted to the cylinder head. Get an old cylinder head, and cut off a combustion chamber and use that to secure everything
Hooking up an oscilloscope probe to an injector wire would be a quick way to find out while running the motor.
It could be a faulty power pack if everything else has been checked or replaced. Don't overlook a tan wire chafing or shorting to ground intermittently which would instantly make the motor go into...
QC10WEP plugs applies only to the 200 hp and above FICHT engines. Thermostats can help idle and plug life on your motor
