2002 Evinrude FICHT - 150 hp - Warranty History

[jacksonwalker]

I'm considering the purchase of a 2002 Evinrude 150hp FICHT
Model - E150FPLSSN
Serial# - G04855505

Based on the guide in this forum, I believe that the model # means Evinrude, 150hp, Direct-injection, power trim & tilt, long 20" shaft, 2002.

Can someone run a warranty history on this motor, please? Also, I understand that this particular model year was the first manufactured by BRP. Is this true and if so, does this mean that this particular model is reliable compared to earlier OMC FICHT models?

What questions should I be asking about the motor? For example, when was the lower unit lube changed, when was the water pump impeller changed, what else? Do I need to know what the compression reads are for each cylinder? If so, what are the factory specs and how would I validate what they (dealer) tell me?

Apparently, they replaced an electronic part that controlled the oil pump pressure alarm. Is this a red flag?

Last but not least, any idea on the fair market value? Thank you.

It is a 2000 motor that was purchased in Florida, not a 2002, and was built by OMC in Georgia, not by Bombardier. An EMM was replaced while in warranty.

Being 7 years old, have a trained tech check it over very carefully. Be aware that older FICHT's have very little re-sale value.
