Just returned from a week of crabbing on a 42' Grand Banks, in San Juan islands. Saw hundreds of twin outboard configurations, most Yamaha, so I felt validated in choosing Yamaha when repowering with brand new 250 Yams.

Spending this kind of coin, one would hope to avoid problems. not the case - 130 hrs and port engine smoked (white steam) - pulled the hood and dip stick and a veritable latte of milk.

Certainly warranty should cover (right?) but it's $1000 to transport via trailer etc' plus 'weeks' in the yard? - seems like a penalty for choosing Yamaha.
