Yamaha 9.9 - thanks everyone
Ah, if you are a pessimist you are never disappointed. I write that
with the utmost respect, Rhys, because I have experienced it too many times in practice. After 7 NM with moderate waves I got the problem back again. After much more troubleshooting I found that I have a tiny oil leak somewhere. Turns out the Yamaha 9.9 is designed to drop to low RPM's and run rough when it senses a loss of oil pressure. After running at low RPM for a short while enough oil was accumulating in the reservoir to allow oil pressure to go back to normal, thus the intermittent nature of the problem. A quart of oil and 10 NM later the "effect" seems to be gone, although I still have to find the leak causing the problem.

It'll be truly fixed when you can run it for 15 NM in short chop. That loosens the flakes and debris nicely, I find G R. |
