Mercury Sport Jet 90 hp ??????
I'm looking at a 90 hp Mercury Sport Jet in a Tracker 18' boat. Does anyone know anything about these motors and jet drives? Are they a problem motor, or do they do a good job? I'm going to run up the river arms chasing white bass. I will be going up 2 or 3 riffles above the back water. It is a 1995 model. Any help or suggestions will be appreciated.

that motor SUX... FEEL THE FORCE.. SWIM TO SHORE... the 90/120 SJs were FORCE powerheads and wernt that great.. the 175 and up however are GREAT.. look to a slightly newer 18 tracker and get the 175... the 90's were dogs, as were the 120's.. those are the 2 you dont want to have..

I have a friend that has a 90hp sportjet in a little Donzi. It has no power. Takes forever to get on plane and is pretty slow. It would be a fun boat if it had some power in it.

what you need to get is a custom boat from the Curtis, aka " the crazy canadian", builds a delta pad boat that will absolutely fly, handle, and perform amazing well with a sport jet. i have to be more specific on what i previously posted, the sport jet is a great unit, as long as you have the power to push the hull. I have been in 90 and wasn't impressed. if you want more info on Curtis just drop a pm.

biggest problem with the sport jet was the ignition system and over the years they kept trying to get it together, they finaly went to the cdm system and offer an upgrade kit to increase reliabilitiy. just remember to change the flywheel also or your timing wont be right and the new trigger wont work with the old flywheel

I want to use a sport jet pump on a small boat and i think the 90hp is to big. will a smaller hp mercury out board power head fit on the jet drive shaft?

this kit is really expensive unless you modify the flywheel to fit the application . to do this you have to heat the center of the flywheel to release the old trigger sensor magnet . when it cools down clean the surface where the magnet goes, the key to the sensor swap is locating the line or magnetic break that triggers the sensor and aligning it so that when you press it into the flywheel hub it is.054 to the right of the keyway. Now your old flywheel will power the new system, we had to do this because the oldercrankshaft would not accept the flywheel from a newer engine so we simply put the newer magnet on the old style flywheel , now she runs like a raped ape

90 sport jet was used in boats as small as 14 ft...... and were pretty doggy in anything but 14-15 footers..... a 90 SJ performed about like a 65 hp prop boat....

I am working on a 94 Mercury/Force engine, and the trigger is the one piece unit, does anyone know how I would place the trigger magnet on the flywheel to get the trigger to fire and match up with the timing numbers on the flywheel? Currently the timing light is firing on my chalk marks approx. 195 degrees off. If standing on the spark plug end of the engine, my marks are hitting on my left side between the 7 and 8 o'clock position.
Can I remove the trigger magnet the same way, by heating the center of the flywheel?
Thank You
