Always check under motor cowling before every trip. The boat was only sitting uncovered three days in between outings. I went to check oil and make sure everything looked good before heading out to the island with the wife and kids. This is what I found a bird decided to make home in my motor. Glad there were no eggs or baby birds yet. Not sure I like the newer Yamaha cowlings never had this problem with my old 2 stroke.

I've had a nest in a dryer vent and one in my stove hood vent. You win. I can't top that!
I would never have thought a bird would find a Yamaha the place to build a nest. Glad you found it early.

The way mine are, I don’t see how a bird could get to that spot.

Tiger This is what the cowling looks it’s a year old Yamaha 200. There is a petty big hole for the air intake.
