I'm looking at a boat with a 1993 115 HP Evinrude. Was this a good year for them? Any known issues? Thanks!

That year was just fine. It was after the age of electric shift (1962 - '70) after hydroelectric shift ('71 - '72) and after hydromechanical shift ('73 - '77). And before the Ficht fuel injection (I think 1997 or so, and up until 2000 or so). If you take care of it, it should do you alright. The V4 crossflow was a real good design for Johnson/Evinrude.
Good Luck.

Thanks for that reply. I have seen this engine referred to as a "bubbleback" Is that because of the shape of the cowling?
Nope, bubbleback refers to the exhaust restrictor plate. Instead of being flat, it has a bubble shape to it, sometimes giving it a slight power increase with no difference in fuel consumption. I am not very familiar with these, so if you want to know more, you will probably have to search somewhere else. I have heard that they make servicing the thermostats a pain in the neck.

:shock: I think bassboy1 should have been the host of BassTech when it was showing on Saturday mornings. 8) . Your knowledge of the motors amazes me.
