 Re: 35 gtr tool kit
The reality of this is funny as well as true.
You read these posts over a long period of time and there is a pattern of alot of problems at 200 hours.
The Mercury, Evinrude, Yamaha outboard community would not be as forgiving.

 Re: 35 gtr tool kit
Hence: Why you were having problems!  I think what he was suggesting is that under "normal" operating conditions, if an outboard had predictable problems at certain hours, it would be considered unacceptable. For example, if a guy owns a pair of Yamaha outboards that he takes 60+/- miles offshore every weekend, all summer long and he was just sitting around waiting for problems to arise when the hour meter struck 100, 200, 300, etc., he wouldn't own those motors for long! GTR owners, on the other hand, are cool with that... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

 Re: 35 gtr tool kit
What problems are predictable on the GTR and at what hours do to occur?

 Re: 35 gtr tool kit
100 or so hours case gasket and every 100 hours or less after that. Within 300 trim and/or clutch switches/solenoids. Cracked crank cases intermittently in between. There's a lot of truth to what aka says about proper PM being able to prevent much of this, but I can say that in 8 years, 600+ hours, neither of my 250 Yamahas has had a wrench on them for anything other than oil changes. Not knocking GTR, we just hold the much larger outboard manufacturers to far higher standards. I've certainly never checked the torque on the case bolts before running 80 miles offshore. I just crank that fucker and go! In the immortal words of Captain Ron, "If anythings gonna happen, it's gonna happen out there..."  Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

 Re: 35 gtr tool kit
What AKA ought to know by now (based on being stranded by a cracked block) is that you can do all the PM in the whole wide world and shit still happens sometimes. Murphy's law. It bees what it bees. When it does happen, I'm gonna be prepared.
