It really behooves you to learn as much as you can about your motor.
Buy

a

shop
manual and read it. That is usually all the guy at the dealer has done

and he

probably doesn't read the whole chapter until after he is a couple

the easter egg hunt.


Man you got that right!!! I love my old Johnson V-4. Its bad enough
my

car is

way over my head, I dont need my boat there too.



I have the shop manual for my Yamaha F225. It's convinced me to keep
mitts off the engine.


It's worth having so you can double-check that you're not swindled by
your
mechanic into replacing your fanozolator more often than you have to.
Are
the 4-strokes every 50 or 100 hours for that service?


100 hour service cycle, but I will change the oil every 50 or better.


I've heard that the Big Suzuki and Honda four-strokes call for, among other
things, a 100 hour service that requires pulling the cam and adjusting the
valves...to the tune of $1000. Anybody else hear that?
