I have a 1995, 225hp salt-water series Yamaha. So far I have had the motor rebuilt because it had seized. After that it still did not run properly and was told it needed a new CDI which I purchased and had installed, then it was dirty fuel so I had that replaced, it still did not work correctly. Next I was told the spark plugs and leads were the problem and these were replaced, but the problems still exists. The problem is that on the ear muffs the motor runs fine revs out really well, but the moment it goes into the water it will not rev past 2000 rpm. Any suggestions on what I can look for or try myself before I let another boat mechanic near it and I spend another obscene amount of money not getting the problem repaired? Thanks for any suggestions
