    Tilt trim '98 225 ocean runner

    My season may be done if I can't get this fixed. A few months ago I lost the ability to trim the unit up under power but it will go down. I could get it trimmed up in neutral. When this happened I replaced the solenoinds and that didn't solve the problem. The connector and wires going to the...

    Looking for Fuel Diaphram or rebuild kit

    Johnson 225 Ocean Runner 97 or 98. I am looking for the fuel pump diaphram or rebuild kit. I have excessive smoke and have looked at the fuel lines for a leak. I am having trouble IDing the part numbers or finding what I need. I know it is not just a fuel but a VRO or OSM or something else.

    225 starting problems continue starter rebuild or replace new

    When I last posted I had tighted up the neg ground and that worked (also replaced battery and solenoid). But now it won't start again. I shorted the starter with a jump box and it didn't turn the flywheel. Also I switched starters with the starboard one and that worked. This is getting...

    2 questions for 225 HP: Head Gaskets I noticed corrosion around head gasket joint just locally (not around whole valve cover) I haven't noticed any preformance problem, but I thought I should disassemble clean the corrosion and replace the gaskets. Can head gasket be replaced without taking off...

    Battery wiring simplification

    Can I take a lead off each terminal (pos and neg) and connect to bus bars that would have the proper number of terminals (one terminal for each connections)? This would be instead of stacking ring terminals on a single stud. I am runnning 2 batts, 2 motors, 2 switches. The one battery wired...

    Twin gas tank questions

    I started a thread in the Johnson outboard board, but it turns out to be a general problem.<br />I ran out of gas and afterward I could only get one of two engines restarted even after switching from the empty tank (port) to the one with fuel (starboard). I though the nonstarting engine (port)...

    Service Manual Starter Circuit Check?

    Had trouble starting my 1998 225 oceanrunner this weekend. The starter would spin but the pinion would not engage the flywheel. I read some posts on this site and tried out some suggestions today. Batteries are fresh charged (tried a jump box just in case) and pinion is free on the shaft. So...

    Oil leaking around prop on 225 ,98

    I see black oil leaking around the prop and it seems from one of the bolts in front of the skeg on the lower unit. If it was lower unit oil why would it be black considering I just changed the oil and haven't run the boat past idle since changing it. Second just I pressure tested the unit...

    Compression Tests, what it can really tell me...

    I am looking at a used boat that has a Johnson ocean pro 225 (1998). The broker says there is no hour meter, but will provide a compression test. Let's say the compression test comes back 100% within specs, what does that tell me about the engine's projected life? To me it says everything...

    135 V6 Mercury Inlet for hose flushing?

    Does the 1998 model have a hose adapter port for flushing? It looks like it has a removable cap, next to the telltale hole, so I am assuming it is what it is for. Second if it is can I run the engine with water attached here as opposed to using muffs? Finally I would know the answers to these...
