The 235 was nick named the 2 thirsty 5 for a GOOD reason, it didn't have 2 fuel pumps for nothing. It is a strong engine for it's size, but it crams ALOT of air AND FUEL into it to do it.

Therm and Skools are right.

I had the pleasure of running two of OMC most ineffiecnt motors. (a 84 Big Bore 235 and a 93 -250HP V8 outboard) Although the V8 had two more cylinders the the 235, it actually burned 5 gallons a hour less than the 235 at WOT!

That's a thristy motor.

I'm gonna take a picture of this motor for yall to look at. The serial number says 235, but it doesn't look like a 235 to me. I've got a friend that had one, and it was much bigger than this one. It came from nc, so thus never been titled, and may have had a newer power head or something. I'll post pics soon. Thanks for the info yall. I'm actually just gonna use it till I can swap it out with a 200 johnson vro that i'm getting soon. Thanks again.

The 235 was built using the same basic block as the 150-200, and was offerred in 2 different bore sizes. The 85 2.6XP was basically a 235HP engine just renamed. They are in fact much smaller than a 200HP looper.
