    04 Honda 225 issue

    Motor runs great has 750 hrs on it and the only issue I'm having is that when towing my buddies tell me the motor looks like a bobble head with every bump I hit on the road and my motor sticks looks like somebody has beat them with a hammer.....what do you think is the problem ....thanks

    I would check your mountswhere the engine attaches to the transom bracket.

    Do you have the jackplate all the way down or in the up position, assuming it's hydraulic. I have a T & H jack plate and mine does the same thing if I forget and tow with it up....

    Motor sticks. Are you referring to the trim rams? I lube the pads where mine hit with grease once in a while, it's metal on metal there.
    I do not, however have a Honda. Are you using a motor toter or a stick or what as a "transom saver"?
