About 1 month. Ordered them Mid Dec 2023 and they arrived Jan 23 2024. Mercury had a rebate offer On the 200’s..

ROBERTH I stopped at the marina yesterday. They ordered a pair of 15 x 15.5 and they arrived yesterday. Did not Remember to jot down the brand.. rigging is done and boat should go in soon. The props were the last piece (and the poor weather we are experiencing in SE Connecticut). I will post...

Thanks for the replies. Dealer is working on the selection. Just checking to see if any here had any similar repowers and what worked for them.

Hello all. I just repowered with new twin Mercury 200 V6 four strokes. Reaching out to see if anyone else has and what props you are running with. It is a 1996 Sailfish. Original props on the 200 0X 66’s were Yamaha 17m and 17 Ml. those are the only markings on those but I believe the pitch...

moving post to general discussion.

I ended up putting two used 200 ox 66 on the boat. Was a great summer starting them up on the 1st ignition turn as compared to the 200 carb’d they replaced.

Transom door began to crack and blister this winter. Took it to local fiberglass shop again as I had had it done last year so was surprised / disappointed that it happened again. Last year just gel coat. This time all removed and found wet core. Here are some before during and after shots. If...

Update. Found remanufactured powerhead and ordered it thru my marina. One year warranty.

Thanks for all the replies and feedback. My hunt is still on.

CkJR, I called the local GW dealer about the F 200 I4 last spring to inquire about those on my sailfish. The response was an honest “ not sure but if I was going to do it they would give it more research”. They also pointed out the backlog time and as I was running ok did not pursue. I...

ItalianAngler, were the f225’s original with the boat or a re-power?

Canvasback, thank you for the heads up. If possible a repower would include fuel injection models.. but I will keep that in mind.

Fish tales. Thank you..

Mustang, thank you will follow up with a call or email to the links you provided. I reached out to two others and they were out of my model. I will post up how I made out..

Mustang, appreciate the feedback. This boat with carb’d 200 Yamaha salt water series engines performs very well. It is not underpowered. Currently coming through a power head that is showing that one cylinder is bad. Ideally, I find a remanufactured powerhead. It is just a bad market. And...

Rpriese, thank you. Yes aware of the issues on early F225 especially the corrosion issues. some are advertised that the repair has been made so I was considering only those. Tough market for used engines. Trying to research all available options. Shelling out 50k is a sobering proposition for...

Italian Angler, thank you for your reply. Much appreciated. I boat in Southern New England so boat is in my yard. Pulled in late Dec so got a late read on my starboard engine. I have priced out two new Merc 200‘s (ouch) but the lead time does not support much of a 2022 season! I have also had...

Stbd power head has one bad cylinder. I have 1996 carb’d Yamaha 200. Model S200TYRU. I cannot locate a new powerhead so thinking about repower. Not a lot of 2 stroke used inventory so wondering about used F 225’s. I see some 1996 models listed for sale on yachtworld with F225 and looking to...
