    Question for Don.

    Not sure where to start..... I have a L/U from my 1999 225EFI.It was built by Titus with low water pick up. anyway, I took the motor up to my mech a whilr back to have it timed, sink and link after JSRE rebuilt it. At that time i noticed the seal was pushed out a bit.????To make a long story short in the Am's it was around 28/29 deg all week. Well it has a crack in it... So I think I found a fleetmastercase( BBC
    motor parts). Is it worth sending both to you and change out the guts?

    The fleetmaster I am looking at is off a 225 opti

    Billy:

    BEFORE pursuing this.... please provide YOUR engine's serial number.

    If JSRE rebuilt it.... it's likely not a 3L model.... meaning that the 225 Optimax gearcase won't fit.

    Re: Question for Don. (EuropeanAM)

    Thanks .I've read enough of your posts to know you always want that info.I included the S/N of my 99, but after rereading my post it was not clear as to what motor it went to.

    Nevermind... After rethinking this, If my case was sitting for 2 years and had some water in it, the gears may not be any good.

    That is likely a very good decision.

    Billy... we'll be more than happy to assist you with a replacement. BBC discount may help to make the decision "a little" less painful.

    Email or Phone are the BEST means of contacting the Parts Department.
