Can someone give me the compression numbers for a 1995 Yamaha Saltwater Series 225. Thanks in advance for the help.

There is no spec, saintone. Guages and technique vary too much.

Typically, you will get over 100psi, but it isn't psi that matter (like in a 4 stroke engine), it is the comparison among the cylinders. They should match within 10%.

JB, Thanks for the reply, looking to purchase this engine. All cylinders check out about 110-115.
