1989 E25ELCEB Questions

[santacruzpaul]

Hi all,
have a few questions about an 1989 E25ELCEB, with only about 30 hours on it,

#1, am installing a complete water pump kit (#80) is any gasket sealer required? and is there a torque setting on the pump housing?

#2, am replacing the flywheel nut because i had to remove it a few times to replace the power pack, is any type of locktite required? and what would you torque it down to?

#3, the washer is missing from the top of the br*** water tube, but is in the grommet tight and looks fine, is the washer necessary?

#4, have been using merc quicksilver mix at 50-1, with middle grade gas, is premium or regular gas recommended for this evenrude?

Thanks, Paul

water pump kit does not require sealer or a specific torque specs, just tight. Flywheel nut does not require lock-tite. As long as the water tube is not leaking water you should be ok. The oil mix and fuel should be ok.

thanks for that,
do you know the ft. lbs. of torque required for the flywheel/crankshaft nut?
