My 9.9 Gamefisher model number 225581994. I have owned the motor for 2 years and I have no history on it. Run maybe 8 times over that 2 year period.
Moments before I had checked the water circulation by hand and it was warm and feel it was a sufficient amount. I was motoring along at half throttle for about 5 minutes, then all in 20 seconds had power loss and then a very loud screech, I stopped the motor immediately as was towed to the trailer. The screech sounded like something was caught between the piston and cylinder wall. The next morning I pulled compression and it was not good. The top cylinder is 30 and pressure drops off and the bottom cylinder is 50 and pressure holds. Pulled down to the boat ramp to see if it would start. It did start and runs about 5 seconds then dies and the motor sounds okay but I realize the motor has big problems. I have nothing to lose but to play with it. What is suggested to try 1st, 2nd and 3rd? Are remanufactured engine assemblies available? What engine will interchange with my 9.9? 15 hp? Force? Is there a cash for clunkers program for outboard motors?
