Mine did that, except I have a 2000 225 EFI. On my starting battery, I undid the negative terminal wire and let sit for about 5-10 min and it re-set! No problem since. I could be wrong but I think it...

Thank you. Will post findings from diagnostics.
Serial #- OT543687. 2002 Mercury EFI 225
Motor idles fine, no bogging, hole shot takes alittle but not from lack of power..... Problem occurs when you push throttle and reach around...
Don, I use the quicksilver belt v-1 57-49756Q-1. That’s the right one correct?
Hopefully got the belt situation resolved!!! Replaced alternator and haven’t broke belt yet. Old alt would go about 3 trips until it popped one!! Also got another question about alternator. Old alt...
Basskicker, I'm like you!!! I always assume the worst and it's usually the simple things that cause an issue. Case in point, running my boat the other day, went to trim up and motor would cut off....
Thanks Leon. I ordered and received a new alternator as the pulley was starting to get burred up pretty good even though I've tried to keep it smooth. Old alt still works so I'll keep it as a...
That's the number on my motor!! Just went outside to double check! #OT108716
Serial #OT108716 2000 225L EFI
Having some issues with alt belt breaking quite frequently. Seems there is a lot of slippage of belt when in use as there is a lot of black dust under the flywheel...
Is the Mirage Plus a standard Verado prop? Brother has a Triton 2400 LTS bay boat and has a Verado 275 and I can only get about 50mph on top end which is around 58-5900 rpm's. Would a higher pitch...
Yep, y'all have made my mind up for me!!!!!! I love my boat, but I can't justify 6-9G's.
Dean, that 6k brought out some ugly words that I couldn't put on here!!!!:laugh: Scared me alittle!!!
Cheese-n-Rice, 6k!!!!!!! Thanks gentleman for your response. I'll probably go the custom route as Whiteboat suggested!
Right off hand, would any of you fellas know what a new trailer would cost? Saltwater is starting to really break mine down and I've done all kinds of preventative maintenance but she's starting...
I had the same problem with my 225 EFI. Had everything done you described. It ended up being the injectors. Have them cleaned, and flow checked. Once I had this done boat ran like a top. Mine would...
Amen to that! I didn't serve as I was hell bent on high school and college athletics but I have a severe profound respect for military men and women. I'm sort of a military buff and read a lot and...
"Chi-Comm Bomb"!!! Dude, I have laughed at that!! You must be former military!!
Mr. Don, those service bulletins should be fixed free of charge correct? I'm ignorant when it come to those service bulletins as I've never had to deal with one.
Found the problem. Broke bell crank that was in three pieces. Apparently broke while power loading onto trailer. I understand there was a recall on that particular part but I'm sure it expired. Don't...
Need that motor serial number!!!
SN 1B289627, 2006 275XL. My brother recently purchased a triton 240LTS with said motor that has 68 hrs on motor. Having a problem with motor not shifting into reverse. Will shift into forward and...
That's definitely the way to go. Just treat the whole house. Normally I don't have roaches in boat as I spray Regent around house which usually lasts me a year or year 1/2. It's systemic so it kills...
I run the Trophy Plus 23p. I absolutely love this prop. I have the Ranger 200c bay boat with the 225 EFI and it is a heavy rig, especially if I have 4 people, full tank and tackle. I like this prop...
Bombs won't kill spiders. Spiders have to ingest and have to have direct contact with the poison to work. They are hardy bugs! Honestly spiders are the hard ones to kill if you are referring to black...
I don't think there should be any residual effects of the bomb except for dead roaches. Bombs are common practice used in house holds so I don't see where they could affect the boat. Now the live...
