    BF225 Flushing and cleaning Lower Unit before refilling with new oil?

    I replaced the ruined lower unit on my port 2006 BF225 last summer. Even though both engines had only 20 hours or so since the lower unit oil was changed since it was hauled out, I noticed the oil in the older starboard engine lower unit was thicker, darker and had a streak of gray paint. The...

    BF225 2006 Trouble Knocking

    My port engine just developed a knock at low and high revs but only in neutral. Putting the engine in gear either forwrd or reverse and the noise goes away and it behaves normally. The sound may be like the racket the engine makes just before it engages into forward or reverse? Engine has...

    Lower unit oil change

    I pulled the boat today and changed the engine and lower unit oil. The starboard engine lower unit oil was black, no foam or evidence of water, the port engine oil was gold, just like a new bottle, but maybe just a pint, not a quart. I put about 100 hours on the engines these season, just...

    I have a pair of 2006 BF225's and new Garmin 8212 plotters. I've noticed a plugged connector on the engine I believe to be used for the network. I wonder if this will work? Engines are serial 14017xxx. Thanks, Bob

    Hard Shifting BF225

    My starboard engine shifts horribly. The engine shifted horribly before it was disassembled for a new oil pump. When everything was disconnected I was able to move the throttle and noticed the unattached cables at the engine working smoothly. The shifter rod and seal on the engine were...

    Honda 225 Oil Leak!

    My Mercury mechanic attempted to replace the water pumps on my starboard 2006 BF225 today. When he removed the lower unit he said a steady tream of oil was coming of what he thought was the main crankshaft seal. From fear of losing all of the engine oil he reassembled it without replacing the...
