Boat/motors ran great.
I also had the tech clean the injectors on the starboard motor to see if that did anything about that low RPM stumbling issue.

I'm afraid to do anything more than preventative maintenance on my Motors. Same plugs for 6 or 8 years possibly Thermastats too. They run perfect 1280 hrs. Any sign of something irregular would get addressed immediately. If you think about the hours maybe 100 to 150 per season many things should be left alone. If it's not broke don't mess with it.

Glen, you got more guts than I do. I probably had too many years as a car mechanic, and then much later as a security analyst for me to wait until a problem occurs. Maybe it's because I only have one engine on the boat, but it gets all the regular maintenance done, mostly by me. Glad you're having such luck.

All I do is scheduled preventative maintenance and look where it got me. I maintain these motors with an open checkbook. And my checkbook sure has been open over the last 3 years.

I hear you Pal I feel your pain. Hopefully you can give that check book a much needed rest.

Yamaha calls it Periodic Maintenance. Calling it preventative could involve lawsuits.
