Definitely not limited to the F225. My 06 F250 failed last summer. I ended up replacing both engines. Wish I hadn't been told the issue was only for the 225.

I have a 2006 28' Sailfish with 250 Yamahas. 200 hrs total on engines. Today port engine stopped. No oil pressure. Since its Saturday mechanic did a quick check. No compression on all 3 cylinders of the left side, right is fine. Oil looks good & filled. Is there any other possibilities other...

I recently bought a 2006 Sailfish. I have removed the covers from the cushions & had them dry cleaned. I have two questions. Read on here that the plastic was only to make it easier to put the foam in the covers. Do I need the plastic? Does anyone have a suggestion of a better way to get the...
