Hey guys, Ii just had a problem with all 6 bolts shearing off the compressor pully on my 06 225proxs and shutting me down dead in the water. Has anybody heard of this happening before??? This seems a little unreal to me! I plan on taking it to my dealer but wanted to see if anybody had any feed back.Thanks

On a 225 or 250 XS / Pro XS 2005 or 2006 compressor, we would replace the bolts on all of the compressor pulleys if it were ours.Just would do it for security. The bolts were labeled properly, though the occasional failures existed. BCB

I had it happen to my 04 200 and it happened to a buddys 225 pro xs. I was told by the mechanic that they where over torque the bolts at the factory.

It was a faulty vendor bolt, though the 200 Opti is a different pump than the Pro XS and XS models. BCB

Do you klnow if the new bolts from the dealers are better quality or should I find some that are better quality and change them myself?

If they are replacement, they should be fine. This was an old issue.

Got me last summer also. Exactly the same situation and motor. Any other switchouts recommended by BCBs? 2006 Merc 225 ProXS.

Nope, that is the only common issue we know of on the engines. BCB

This happened to my 2005 proXS too. The bolts were replaced before I acquired the rig and on my first run out the engine alarm was set off because of a compressor overheat. This according to the mechanic was all related to the pulley failing and they ended up having to replacing the entire compressor assembly because of a scorched cylinder in the compressor.
