I am looking into buying a skeeter bass boat has a 225.. the guy told me the last time out he ran it low on oil so the buzzer came on.... The boat gets up on plane and that's it. after that it runs at a slow speed 3500 rpm. in neutral it will go alot high in the rpms.. i don't have a ton of money so i don't want to make a mistake buying the boat until i have some ideas of what could cause this.. is there a limp mode or a reset that could correct the problem right off the bat.. Thanks for your input..

Re: 2000 yamaha 225 issues

have it checked out by a good Yamaha shop top to bottom to make sure what all is wrong.

If it was simple to fix he would have it fixed and get top dollar for a good running rig, as it is you are rolling the dice.

Limp or safe mode limits RPM to around 2K
