Good morning, I just joined the forum and in search of some knowledge. We were motoring along and the F225 just shut-off, initially I thought I fish trap line and fouled the prop but that wasn't the case. An attempt to restart the engine was unsuccessful, the engine will turn but will not start. I'm going to look at the fuses and relay to see if they are good and will check the switches that I can. Any other suggestions to consider? Thanks in advance for any help.

'fuel' is an obvious question -
what do you learn when you pump the primer bulb?
what year/model F225 ?
take off the flywheel cover
and check that the cam gears/timing belt are still there -
did you make sure the kill switch clip (man overboard) was still in place?
check to see if the plugs are getting sparkComment

I checked to ensure the kill switch was correctly engaged and the spark plugs are on the list for tomorrow.Originally posted by 99yam40 View PostComment

The primer bulb was firm after the engine shut off. I will be looking at the timing belt tomorrow as well as the coils , engine mountedfuel filter , the plugs and any other components I can check with visual or multimeter simplicityOriginally posted by fairdeal View PostComment

Timing belt pulley sheared off...I will look at the pistons to see if there is any damage... assuming there isn't any hopefully I'll be back in business in about a week or soComment

The 3.3 liter F225TXR(X) series of models is a non-interference motor. There will be no damage to valves or pistons as a result of the crank shaft being out of time with the cam shafts.
Presumption being that you have a 3.3 liter F225. Must be top secret intel.Last edited by boscoe99; 05-20-2020, 10:54 AM.Comment

I bought the boat used two years ago, the powerhead was replaced six months before I bought the boat, paperwork indicates it was a 2005 F225 HP EFI. I am going to assume it is a 3.3L.Originally posted by boscoe99 View PostComment

Can someone tell me what size bolts to use for the flywheel and will a standard flywheel pulley fit this bolt pattern, thanks in advance.Comment

yes, a standard 3-bolt "harmonic balancer & steering wheel puller"
should handle the job
the bolts are of course metric - M8 - 1.25
be prepared - some flywheels do not come off easily -
you may need extra washers under the bolt heads -
maybe even high tensile bolts
if you have an air or electric impact wrench,
that is excellent for drawing the puller downComment

Greatly appreciated, thank youComment
