Oceanbean, 1 agree with you 100%. When i had the issue with powerhead#1 6 months out of warranty in 2011, Yamaha did not want to hear my issue. At that time the exhaust legs were also corroded. Yamaha offered me $500 toward a new powerhead as a good gesture since i barked loud up and down...

Would That aluminum epoxy work after a hole in block has manifested itself? Who did the repair? I am looking for a few more years out of this expensive hunk of aluminum that the manufacturer does not stand behind!! The t stat blowout happened on the muffs out of the water. Yes the anodes...

ALWAYS FLUSHED, 850 hrs. starboard engine had similar block corrosion behind t stat that starts from inside out-the power head replaced 3 years ago at 550 hrs. both dry exhaust had corrosion which both were replaced when i had the power head redone. I changed t stats every 2 years & never saw...

I know there has been lots of posts on f225 exhaust corrosion, This may be another f225 issue. I had to replace a starboard powerhead 2-3 years ago for corrosion behind the thermostat on the block. Guess what- my port block just corroded through from the inside out in the same location. Has...

Mine stopped working because the push button switch was bad. had to press a few times for it to go on.

What rpm are you seeing with the 19" props. I have wondered when it comes time to repower my sailfish if the new F200's have the power & torque to get her up & go.

Estimating my hull weight fully loaded at 9000 lbs, factor at 192 with a top speed of 43 mph

Good luck with her, I absolutely love mine, had for 7 seasons.

The 19" pitch props are too much. The 4S yammies need to turn toward the upper end of the rpm range 5700 to 6000. I agree that rarely we rum em wide open but the extra load turning the 19" props will shorten the life of the motor-yes you will see better mpgs but is it worth it? I would call...

I believe the performance bulletin has the motors propped with 19" pitch which are too much for this setup. I have basically the same setup running a 17 pitch 3 blade yammie prop which i had a prop shop add some cup. My true numbers are as follows cruise 3700 running 24mph getting about 1.5 to...

I have a 98 sailfish which was repowered in 2004 with f225's. 1998 and newer sailfish hulls have the greenwood plywood & extended hull surface under the transom. I love the boat, stable fishing platform with the 9.5 beam. The 4 strokes gets me 1.5 to 1.6 statute mpgs. Any questions pm me...

Re: Potential deal on an 1999 225 Johnson Ficht. Need opini I see that you are on Long Island, Contact Ralph at lindenhurst outboard-He knows a lot about that motor

I have a pair of F225's and my port block also had corrosion behind thermostat that started from inside out. I saw white crusty area while changing thermostats 2 years back. started engine & saw the bubbling. I think the block corrosion was a manufacturing defect. i had to replace the block as...

Just as a matter of fact, my 98 sailfish with 2004 f225's achieve 1.4 to 1.6 s mpg. I have 700 hours on them. I used to get 1.5 to 1.8 mpgs when they were newer. I have yamaha 3 blade 17' props which i had a prop shop add more cup. This helped my mpgs a little. Wide open rpm is 5700 to 5800 rpms.

Last year my tilt steering wheel locked up as i was going down canal. Took it apart & bolts on the center shaft had come loose & fell out. As i recall, not hard to take apart. Take large nut off & you will need a steering wheel puller. Just remove the washers & parts in order & hopefully you...

The 19' props are too much for that setup. You want the 4 strokes to turn close to 6000 rpm, 5400 wot rpm is too low putting added loads on the motors which is not good. I had 19' props but dropped to 17'. What i did was to bring the 17' props to my local prop shop an they added a little more...

Congrats on the sailfish. Its a great boat-big enough and small enough. Where will you be boating since we are neighbors!

http://www.reichandbinstock.com/homepag ... wsuit.html FYI Per my emails with boat us and the yamaha corrosion issue, there is a class action lawsuit filed, the link is above.

I also had problems with 1 powerhead, there was corrosion behind one thermostat in which the block corroded through from the inside out. When they pulled the powerhead is when the exhaust corrosion reared its ugly head. My total cost with a new powerhead was about 11grand. if you are doing just...

HI, I live on long island and had the corrosion on both mine (2004, f225"s)
