    What Size Prop, 2000 Tournament OX66 225

    My 2000 Tournament 225 has an OX66 225 (on bracket) with a 19M 15 1/4 x 19 Stainless prop. When I bought the rig the prop was pretty dinged up and the prop shop said to replace instead of repairing. It ran about 5K or so RPMs but I don't remember exactly and I don't know if it is optimum...

    F250 4S on 2000 Tournament 225?

    I have a 2000 Tournament 225 with a OX66 225 on a bracket. I am thinking about a F250, just thinking. The OX66 weighs 525 lbs and the F250 608 lbs. The 2S oil will be about 25 lbs or so. What do y'all think? Too heavy? Anyone have any experience with this setup?

    OX66 Charging both Batteries?

    I know it has been awhile but the problem with the engine was a bad voltage regulator. It was not charging the batteries at all.

    A man's point of view

    A gentleman was suspecting his wife of running around on him so he planned a little test to see. He told his wife he was going out of town for the night and would be back the next day. He watched as his wife left right after work so he hid in the garage crouching down behind his Grady. Sure...

    OX66 Charging both Batteries?

    I did not shut off the engine with the voltage reading 11.8 on the multifunction gauge, I was afraid it might not turn over. I took this as a sign that I needed to go visit Tom and tie up to his dock and have a cool drink. We visited for an hour or so and the engine turned over normally and...

    OX66 Charging both Batteries?

    Both batteries are new, installed in June. I have not put a meter on the batteries either. When I stopped after they read 12.2 and visited friends, I stopped at a friend's dock to be safe, it turned over normally. The voltage was the display on the Yamaha digital gauge. Parthery, I noticed you...

    OX66 Charging both Batteries?

    I have a 2000 Tournament 225 with a 2000 OX66 225. I had it out last weekend and I switched the selector to both batteries and started it up. I usually switch to battery 1 for awhile and then to 2 to run on each battery individually. This time I left it on both for some reason and after awhile I...

    Ran out of gas, both engines will not start

    I had a Welcraft V-20 with 16 gal side tanks. If a tank ran out, which it did often I had a hard time getting it primed again. I had to pump the bulb a lot to get it primed. I had a 150 Johnson and you can imagine how quickly I went through 16 gals of gas.

    My new to me 225 on the water

    I just picked up this 2000 Tournament 225 with OX66 225, pretty much like Parthery's. Early this morning Lake Greenwwood, SC. I sure do like this boat. I left the boat hook on the bow over night, Ooops

    New to me OX66 225

    I do like the engine, funny low speed or not. It starts immediately and has plenty of power. Not nearly as loud as a 200 HPDI which I have had in the past. At cruise no difference in the OX66, HPDI, or 4 stroke. What I also like is that I have a 22 ft Grady White in good shape for a mere...

    New to me OX66 225

    The fuel is all fresh. I had all the gas in tank pumped pumped out by the prior owner. I then had new marine fuel added, non ethanol. I was told these engines don't like to go slow.

    New to me OX66 225

    I have a new to me 2000 Tournament 225 with a 2000 225 ox66. This is a good engine and my wife says for a 2 stroke this is her favorite. I do have a question about performance. I know it drops cylinders at low speeds but is this normal. From 800 to 1400 rpm runs a little rough but ok. From...
