"this is my first post. up until this week i've been an i/o guy. i just bought an 03 premier pontoon with the bf225. it seems to run great and runs to about 5800rpm with 2 adults on a 25ft boat pushing about 44mph gps. after trolling this forum for a while, it would seem i have a bad o2 sensor. runs fine, but if it idles for a few minutes, buzzer goes off. turn off, restart and go, no buzzer.
i was fortunate to get the TSB#56 from another member. as i was reading the procedure to change the o2 sensor they mention a special socket (deep 22mm with a cutout). i don't have this tool. can i use a box end wrench? or is this a tool i should be able to find somewhere?
also, from my reading, my understanding is that it will not harm the motor to run it with a bad o2 sensor. true?
thanks, brian."
