The second suggestion is a maintenance flush

You might want to do that on a 100 hour if that is once a year. I
usually do it at around 300-400 which is once a year for me.

(any time I have the foot off)

Gee, I'll keep all this in mind in case I buy another Yamaha outboard.

Harry we know you just go to the dealer, drop your pants and ask him
to be gentle.

A few of us actually understand maintenance and know how to do it.
That bull**** in the owner';s manual is mostly to make the dealer look
reasonable when he charges you $400 for an oil change because he has
so many other line items to add to the invoice.

Really ... a dealer only service? Checking for an oil leak?

Look at that list closely and get back to me.

When you put 3000 hours on TWO motors doing all the service yourself,
call me.

Why would I want to?
