I was told by a mechanic at Bass Pro - "No need to put motor in break in mode after replacing this." He then said just to clean out discharge line and start it up, but be gentle on rpms for a little while because it is a piston. I hope he's right. Everyone keeps talking about purging oil line. The mechanic said not needed....
Like clockwork mine just went out at 520. Was waiting for it to happen actually glad it did so could finally upgrade to the 2 bearing all black compressor
geoff Shes in the shop right now to figure out what caused the failure. The guy found some white stuff in the oil tank on the motor so its a suspected oiling issue. The reason it really failed, turned out the warning alarm on the dash quit working so we were unaware of any issues until it was too late.
It happens.. Have fun! If you plan on tackling it yourself it's a pretty easy job, BUT keep in mind: If the failure caused any metal shavings through the air lines and your injectors, you're just gonna have problems again. It's best to have the entire system cleaned to be on the safe side.. We ended up doing this, and injector #6 got pretty clogged up. After cleaning, everything was perfect and ready to roll. And, you have to go through the oil priming procedure after you're finished. From my knowledge, you need a special machine to do so.. Lastly, find out what caused the failure. The failure of the one in this video was actually cause by overheating.. Got a sample of the oil in the tank, and found water in it. Nasty, milky water. So we just assumed that was the culprit of the failure. Either way, fix whatever caused it so it don't happen again.. It's either going to be lack of lubrication or poor water flow/cooling. Good luck!!! Thanks for watching
Mine is going out, it’s starting the loud squeak. Turns out there is tiny oil line running into a brass fitting that oils the thing. That fitting broke. Now I’m catching hell trying to find a compressor.
When i was shopping for a used boat i almost bought a boat with a 115 opti max im glad i didn't i ended up getting a biat with a 115 Yamaha 2 stroke very simple motor that will run forever
This was the culprit. Shop looked it over, turns out the alarm system wasn't working without us knowing.. Oil flow got restricted from the compressor and no water was going to it due to a stopped up line.
The boat is at certified Mercury shop. A special machine is used to prime the oil back up into the compressor, and when a compressor failure like this occurs its a good idea to have the air injectors cleaned out.. really it's a better idea to take it to the shop and get it done the right way.
got a guy cleaning and checking mine now mine is a 2006 and have never changed out the compressor , Mine won't idle but runs great at high speeds,@@dr.fishing5740
Did you have to clean the fuel rails or no? My pulley has some wobble and it looks like I'm going to have to replace it as a precaution. I'm praying I can just swap the compressor for $1,000, drink a bunch of whiskey to drown my sorrows and move on. Sad part is I just bought the motor (2007 225) because it looked like it was brand frickin new and claims to have only been used in freshwater, although it's now on my saltwater boat. Compression was good and it ran great. Fired right up after sitting for a year. I haven't even gotten the chance to look at it in person since I discovered this looking at the video and knowing what I know now because the boat is 45 mins away. th-cam.com/video/FAg3eoMgeLg/w-d-xo.html
@@dr.fishing5740 Good to know. For what it’s worth I was drinking and actually looking at the tensioner pulley in the video. I guess that does wobble a bit. Going to take a closer look at the compressor today but it’s hopefully ok.

You should clean the fuel rails also Incase any metal shavings got in them. Better than finding out later.

Clockwork is right! Mine just went out over the weekend at 530 hrs. Just bought the new style 2 bearing unit as well. My engine is 2006 225 Pro XS

Thanks brother my motor do this yesterday
Did you flush the lines out? And how did you prime the oil back into the compressor
Any knowledge on a 2006 225 Optimax
Besides the high pitch noise, did u have any other issues?
Did u get loss of power? Boggling at night rpm?
No sir not that I remember.. still had good power and what not.
How much was the part to fix the compressor? I am looking at buying a trihull with a 2011merc 150 Optimax, not sure of the hours

When that happen the motor runs slow even in high runs slow ?
Good vid… Thx 👍
Did an alarm go off? What did the alarm sound like?
This was the culprit.
Shop looked it over, turns out the alarm system wasn't working without us knowing.. Oil flow got restricted from the compressor and no water was going to it due to a stopped up line.
How do you prime the compressor?
Can they rebuild that ?
Do have to prime the air compressor ?
Yes
Could it cause the motor to not start
My friend, please explain to me how I know that the compressor is not working, thank you
If the pulley has play in it, if motor is lacking power, if you hear a loud squeaking sound while running, etc…
The engine rotates, but it does not work, knowing that the gasoline works and the electricity works
post a video on the priming process

Lol...my did the same thing at the same lake...
Well I could have towed you in, but mine was down too!
Your camera work is making me nauseous.
Cool, there's other videos on this topic..
Thanks

No need to clean fuel rails.. just air injectors
If it hasn't failed yet, you'll be fine. Just replace the compressor alone

I don’t think you have to prime
Mercuries are absolute garbage
Not gonna lie.. I'm right up there with you
You are right I hate mercury
Marshall Booker they probably are garbage but parts are cheaper then most and plentiful
