Re: 1997 Johnson 25hp outboard
I hope you see this answer before your post goes away? Watch the profanity (the Mod's have zero tolerance for it).
Welcome to iboats!!
www.brp.com is the Johnson and Evinrude parent company web site. Good luck on proving a factory defect of 9 years ago. I find it hard to believe that BRP will honor it. I am pretty sure that sometime in the past 9 years during "recommended" maintenance that the flywheel was removed or should have been by a mechanic. Regardless.... it is always easy to blame the manufacturer.
As a side note... I check screws and bolts all the time due to the non-use of locktite. I don't thing you can do much when stainless steel bolts are in aluminum except keep them tight. If you overtighten it rips up the aluminum.
If it is a major repair and Grandfather wants to fish volunteer to row for him and be thankful he doesn't want to water ski!!
