I vented about my 100hp Yamaha oputboard with 900 hours on them, both,

I got a very humorous reply about how I "must have bought a lemon".
BWAHAHAHAHA.

Got me thinking though, is 900 hours a lot of hours for a $8000-9000

engine?

Maybe my expectations are too high. But darn, if I put 300 hours a year

on

my boat, should I only expect the engines to last about 3 years? Is

the

very funny gentleman who replied correct? Should I cash in my ocean

going

lifestyle for a set of golf clubs?? :-(




300 hrs a year?? in Phil? area that's over 10 hrs per week in the
season being generous & 2 X 100 Hp is what?? minimum 20 kt cruise??

Unless you're a commercial user how do you manage to rack that many
hours up???

Anyway just asking.
