1996 Evinrude 225hp v6 Ocean Pro<br /><br />prop: OMC SS 15 x 17<br /><br />Was cruising offshore at about 30 mph when the rpm's shot up. Thought I lost the prop. Anyway, I got in the water to change the prop out with the spare I had. When I took the nut off I could see black rubber oozing...
1996 Evinrude 225hp V6 - RPM per bombardier is supposed to be between 5800-6000 rpm WOT.<br /><br />Before the rebuild WOT rpm was 5400. Is this considered under or over propped?<br /><br />would this lugging condition contribute to or cause an upper crank bearing failure???<br /><br />Thanks

How can you tell if the warning horn is still attached and working?? This is my first outboard. With my I/O you just turned the key and waited about5 seconds and the buzzer would sound; letting you know that the system was still working. When I do the same thing with the outboard I get no...
