2003 Evinrude 225ho actual horse power numbers

[atcje]

I was told by a reliable source that the 2003 Evinrude 225ho actually put out more than the gov allowed 10% and BRP was told to tune them back. Supposedly this only happened on the 2003 model. Has anyone ever seen a dyno test on this motor? Also, what is the rev limiter on this motor? I have hit the limiter with mine and it showed 6600 rpm but its with a non digital tach, not sure how accurate it is.

Depends on the map.

Is there any way to find out?

So, if the software is upgraded, the power is downgraded?

go to epa.gov, find the emission spreadsheets for that year, look up the engine family, then convert KW-hr to hp.
