Blown Motor....OH NO!!!

[Gambler3.0]

Blew my 225 johnson a couple years ago. I parted it out on ebay and did pretty well, within a month almost all of it was gone. Lots of aluminun in the destroyed powerhead too, if I remember correctly, got about 100 bucks at recycling center. It was a lot of work but without a boat motor what else did I have to do? If you switch form an omc you'll spend a lot on new controls. I bought a used etec and love it! Hung it and had it running in an afternoon.

Those motor have been trouble. What is wrong with it? Did you lose one of the top cylinders? Even as parts they aren't worth much. I have seen them sell for about a grand with one or 2 cylinders destroyed. As mentioned earlier I would recommend ******************** to unload the motor and locate a new one.
