Not trying to hijack the thread but, speaking of 1996 Yamaha 225 2-cycles, is it a good motor or is there something to watch out for, besides the fuel filters?
They are great engines. My father has a rebuilt '97 on his Sceptre that he bought 3-4 years ago (replaced a tired '89 225 Evinrude looper). No problems whatsoever after 400+ hours. Those engines have great midrange torque - his boat will plane at 13 knots and run the same cruise and WOT speed regardless of load.
