Hello all. First time poster, experienced lurker. Can’t seem to find any history on this scenario. I bought this 2006 BF225 to replace my starboard 04 that blew its power head a few months ago. The swap was pretty straight forward, except I had to swap gear cases to make the new (to me) motor a 25” shaft length. Got it all hooked up, took out for sea trial, and will not exceed 3500 rpm. Motor goes into guardian mode and the green oil pressure light goes out. No other lights go on. Thermostats were replaced in November, and I’m kind of stumped. The Honda dealer I bought the motor from (cash pocket deal) says it’s likely the wiring harness, or something electrical because the oil pressure manual reading checks out at idle. I have given them my old harness from the 04 motor, hoping the swap cures the issue, but I’m not holding my breath. Has anyone had similar issues? What would be the next item to check after the harness? Thanks for any help!
