I am not sure about the lights. When my key is turned on there are little triangles that light up above the symbols. The one that stays on is above the oil can, or I see they call yellow. I have never seen colored lights on my tach. I am wondering if each warning light has a separate wire or how...

Can anyone tell me where each wire goes and what they do that go to the tach. My motor is a 1997 S225TXRV. The warning light is stuck on the oil can and the manual says that means clogged oil filter or blocked line. All filters and check valve have been replaced. Trying to figure out what each...

Just In Time, Thanks for all of the info. I have a game plan together for checking the system out and I am also working with a dealer. I looked at your info and have placed it in a file and printed part of it, very good info. Just waiting for some warmer weather now. May be get some of it done...

I totally agree with you that there are a lot of test to be maid before the engine is even started. All of those test will be in my plan be for a computer is bought!!! The warning light that is on the tach is above what looks like a old oil can. The manual says that it means there is a clogged...

I fish Lake Erie, west of Cleveland, Ohio. I usually run less than 1 hour to where I am going to troll. We will troll with my 9.9 4 stroke for around 6 hours and then back to the dock. My 225 has run like a top for 12 years so like I said I don't want to do a rig job now!!!! I just found out...

The bad thing about premixing is I also have a 4 stroke for trolling. So I would need to install a second tank. I would like to keep it stock and not start altering things and jerry rigging. But don't think I haven't thought about it!!

My tilt gage has not worked properly for years now but the tilt works fine. I have read that the motor needs to be running for oil to transfer, does anyone know if this is true. Does anyone have a idea as to what a CDI will cost? This is what I think the problem is, but I will do further testing...

Oil Problem King J, I have replaced the filter, cleaned the tank and lines and filtered all oil in tank. I did read that the tank on the motor should fill in 180 sec. or there is a restriction in the filter or the hose.

Oil Problem Sure looks to me like all wiring from the switches and pump go through the CDI unit. So how can you say it has nothing to do with the operation of the system??

Oil Problem I can run a meter, I repair welders and generators for a very large const. co. I also have a shop manual that doesn't say much!!! I have checked the float in the tank on the motor and it seems to be ok. I am getting ready to ohm out a lot of wires going to the tach and oil float...

I have a 1997 Seafarer 228G with a 1997 Yamaha S225TXRV Salt Water Series. Last fall my transfer oil pump from my on board oil tank decided to quit transferring oil into my tank on the outboard. The alarm sounded and the RPM's cut back just like it was made to do. The warning light that came on...

Picked boat up today!!! Picked my boat up today. I looked at my old block and seen the three cracks at the bottom of the left cylinder. He told me that I should just be careful and watch where the waves are be for I crank over my motor. Make sure that the motor is not down in a wave and I am up...

I use rain x

The Good News Guys !!!!!!!!! The good news is that a $6200.00 repair is going to cost me $502.00. My insurance is covering the damage and I'm not going to ask them why!!! They are mailing me a check!!! I still want to know what happened. When I first got my Grady new in 1997 I trolled with it...

Bob P, My guess would be that trolling with the waves, sometimes four plus footers. The 225 down with the steering rod hooked to the 9.9. In rough seas waves are hitting the back of the 225. If I have to tilt the 225 I loose my steering rod connection. May have to go to a electric steering...

Not under warranty !!! 1997 228 G

New findings After talking to the insurance company I called the Marina. He told me that he found that my block is cracked now. So we are looking at $4800.00 for a block. It will be interesting to see what the adjuster is going to say, then I will start jumping up and down!!! On the way in...

Any one heard of hydraulic lock? I'm told it is a condition that when high seas are splashing the back of your motor when tilted down and not running. This water finds it's way up your exhaust and makes it into number six and five cylinder. You then try to start it and this is when there is a...

I think what happened was that I over greased them and then when the bearings warmed up and the grease expanded a little it had no where to go but out the back at the seals. The bad think was that water had also mixed with the grease and got to my bearings. Not a disaster yet but if not...

All bearing , races and grease seals will be replaced. I bought this trailer new and have greased it as I was told or should say as I thought I was told!!! I have a lot of clean up to do and looking forward to packing those new bearings.
