    Odd noise when bf225 is shifted into gear.

    Hello everyone. I have a question. When I shift into both forward or reverse at the lowest rpms (640) the engine makes some odd noise. In a way it sounds like it’s not fully in gear and I can even feel some vibration at the helm. By increasing my rpms to 700+ the noise completely disappears. No...

    Another theory is the bad section in the battery cable may have been heating up the fuel line and possibly boiling the fuel.

    Here is a picture of my engine. Again I apologize for my ignorance but I’ve not been able to determine whether it’s a 25” or 30” model. BAGJ1200846 is the number I have for it.
