Hello! i need help with beeping sound. i have 1998 225hp johnson v6 2 stroke. when im in slow speed about 5-10 miles per hour then beeping stops, soon its over that speed starts beeping. any help would be great. thank you

1 - A steady constant beep = Overheating. V6 engines, possibly some others, have a fuel restriction warning which is ALSO a steady constant beep. 2 - A beep every 20 or 40 seconds = oil level has dropped to 1/4 tank. (Late model engine = Every 40 seconds) 3 - A beep every other second = VRO failure, air leak in oil line, oil restriction, (anything that would result in a lack of oil being supplied to the engine).

Hi Faztbullet! thank you for your reply. i Have constant beep when i go over 5 miles, do you know into what should i look for that?

Dirty fuel filter(s) or a stuck anti-siphon valve are the usual culprits.

Hello! thank you for helping me with fuel filter it fixed my problem, i have another question if you can tell me whats good prop for johnson 225 hp (1998) or whats is original prop size for that motor , im having hard time finding it. thank you

The prop ------attaches to the motor , but fits the boat / application.-----So you need to post the type of boat you have and what you do with it !-----Need a working tachometer and a shop that lets you " try before you buy " some propellers.
