[Give] suggestions on where to purchase the [OEM components] to rig a [Evinrude E-TEC] 90-HP.

What parts do you need?
Moby Dick posted 02-16-2011 03:03 PM ET (US)
Dave--this is what I know I need:
1. Binacle control lever with key
2. Wiring harness - need to determine length
3. Throttle & shift cables - need to determine length
4. Tach (part #775818) - includes system check alarms, fuel
remaining and engine hours
5. Trim gage (part #775808)
6. Gift certificate for "mess of perch" at Clementines
Leaders also specified a system check speedometer (#775817)which I don't think I need. This is suppose to have a shallow water alarm which I don't need. Ordering these parts are kinda confusing.

Use
shop.evinrude.com
to locate parts and prices. The website will also refer you to local dealers.

Dick -
Check in with the guys at Wolf's to get baseline pricing for everything, then comparison shop online.
Wolf's has throttle/shift cables at competitive prices - it's where I purchased mine.
Regarding the others - you'll have to decide on what you want. There are tens of different gauges that are systemcheck compliant - they have different styles, etc. and it's up to you.
This Faria gauge seems like a decent buy. http://compare.ebay.com/like/120680269237?ltyp=AllFixedPriceItemTypes& var=sbar&rvr_id=210924934600&crlp=1_263602_304662&UA=WXS%3F& GUID=3cadb97b12c0a06c1c44b984ffa7e88c&itemid=120680269237& ff4=263602_304662

Check with Leaders for a part number on the wiring harness - you'll want the same length as the throttle/shift cables.
The length of your current cables might be printed/embossed on the current plastic sleeve (and, in fact, you may just want to re-use them, if they're working well.
Why didn't you buy these items from the dealer? I thought you were just negotiating installation costs only with them.

[Perhaps means to imply that one ought to investigate items offered for auction at a website known as] Ebay under [the search terms] OMC [and] Evinrude [and] Johnson. [The author perhaps means to say that he] got a lot of my parts [and] equipment [from purchases on] ebay [and the purchased items were] all factory parts and all new in the box [which is the] only way I will purchase something unless I can hold it in my hand to look at. You need to know your prices and what you need. I saved a lot of money on cables and the binnacle controls.
jimh posted 02-16-2011 08:36 PM ET (US)
It is my understanding that all E-TEC engine installations need to be certified by an authorized dealer in order to qualify for the Evinrude warranty. If you are thinking about installing an E-TEC engine yourself, you will need to have a cooperating authorized Evinrude dealer be part of the process, or you won't have any warranty.
I endorse the idea of using original equipment components for the rigging; this will prevent problems with certification of the installation. If you have a dealer who is selling you the engine and will be certifying the installation, I would tend to work with that dealer for parts. I don't think too many dealers would be happy to have their customer buy a bag of gray-market parts on the internet and expect that the authorized dealer will certify them as OEM.
Most dealers will offer package deals with attractive prices on rigging components as part of the engine sale.

Jim I'm not knocking your statement but, If I purchase a boat with an Evinrude (or purchased it used still under warranty installed on a boat by a non dealer) and move to a different state/city with the engine still under warranty, how does the next person/dealer know who installed the engine?
seahorse posted 02-16-2011 11:52 PM ET (US)
contender,
When the motor is new, both the dealer and the customer have to sign a pre-delivery form that says in part that the dealer has rigged the engine per the factory recommendations and has inspected, bled, run, and tested the motor before delivery to customer. It also has the customer attest that he received the owners manual, operation, and maintenance info. Only then will the factory register the motor in warranty.
Yamaha has a similar program with their forms.
jimh posted 02-17-2011 08:05 AM ET (US)
All warranty agreements are between the original purchaser and the manufacturer. If a product is re-sold before the original warranty has expired, the terms of each warranty agreement provide for what provisions of the warranty apply and how any transfer of entitlement under the warranty will take place. Read the warranty to find the terms.
jimh posted 02-17-2011 08:13 AM ET (US)
The Evinrude website I mentioned earlier,
shop.evinrude.com
allows the identification of part number and prices for almost all components of the E-TEC engine and other accessories such as rigging components. The prices shown are the MSRP prices for retail purchase of the individual components. These prices provide a guide for the suggested price and a way to gauge any discount being offered by other sellers.

Just by accident I happened to see a boating website selling a brand new BRP single control with integral key switch for $357. I have no idea if that is a good price.
Moby Dick posted 02-18-2011 04:39 PM ET (US)
Bought everything necessary to rig my 90 etec. Total came to $706 with shipping. After much web searching I concluded that Duskyonline was the cheapest for OEM parts. Thanks for the tip on this. This store sells at a discount for ordering online.
Binacle control w/o key $277
Key Switch $70
15 ft wiring harness $133
15 ft shifter/throttle cables $35
System Check Tach (3in) $148
Trim gage $33
Counting the motor for $6999 plus tax, I'll have around $8358 in it although a friend is rigging it that will cost me a couple of hundred. This just happens to be what I paid for the boat, motor(100 HP Johnson) and trailer in 1979.
contender posted 02-18-2011 05:25 PM ET (US)
Dusky marine is a very nice store, and has been in business now for 40 years. Easy to work with and there are always engine deals to be had. Not to mention they are my neighbor's....
Moby Dick posted 02-18-2011 06:09 PM ET (US)
Also for that price it has a Stiletto prop. Alot of money for a Dutchman, but I feel satisfied.
L H G posted 02-18-2011 06:28 PM ET (US)
Seems like you got some good pricing. I buy stuff from Dusky's store in Ft Lauderdale all the time, as they do have good pricing on most items, but not all.
I would think that the 15' lengths are short for a Montauk, unless you are going to run the cables and harness right over the top of the splashwell, straight into the engine. I think ignition harness length should be the next size up, 20', and throttle and shift 18', which allows the cables to be routed out of the sump, and over to the side of the boat, then to the engine.
Moby Dick posted 02-19-2011 11:24 AM ET (US)
LHG......Thanks for the suggestion. I changed my wiring harness to a 20 footer. I measured pretty close today and it needs to be about 13 1/2 feet assuming a straight path which it isn't. They were out of the throttle/shifter cables anyway and I can pick them up locally. You must have rigged a Montauk before?

I have been involved in the rigging of several Montauks, and owned a Nauset for 15 years.
