Hi Mickey flinders yes I have a 2004 225 xl efi have read a lot about problem on YouTube American sites and have just today started ringing Yamaha and mercury parts but both said they knew nothing about the problem. I intend to get to the bottom of this how did you go with yours I know this is a year later but I have just recently joined ausfish and learning how to navigate site. strange you got no replies when it seems to be a huge problem in the states?? any way looking forward to your response regards Alan
