I have a honda 225 hp 2011 bf225d-lhgd 20 carb S/N BAJL-1200260.
I found water and salt in the intake system and I am asking for help because there is not a certified Honda mechanic where I live, so I have to do all the reparations myself.
The motor goes down from 4800 to 2500 RPM in less than a minute, so it losses a lot of power.
I would like to know what do I have to check in the outboard motor.
I am going to add some links with pictures that show the water and salt in the intake.
Thaks in advance.

You said: "I have a honda 225 hp 2011 bf225d-lhgd 20 carb S/N BAJL-1200260."

That doesn't make sense to me. There is no BAJL designation that I can find, and a SN in the 1200xxx range would be a 2004 model. Honda may have had different designations for 225's sent to Mexico. I don't know.

However, as far as I know the only way for water to get into the intake manifold is through the throttle body (unless the engine has been under water.) Pull your silencer cover and do a thorough inspection for any water leaks.
 
You may have a tiny hole in one of the many hoses for the cooling systems. Do you currently have water in the oil? Is the oil milky? Run the engine with the cowl off and inspect all hoses. Over by starter, behind it is a small 1/4” hose... both sides of the motor. Be sure no leak or clamp has not fallen or rotted. Behind the vapor extractor is another small hose.

Keep in mind your engine is a large vacuum. Any small amount of water under the cowl are going to get sucked up by through the inlet.
