doubleheader Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 (edited) Hi Lew, just in case you aren't aware of this potential problem I thought I'd mention it here since you mentioned you plan to troll alot with your new 150 Yammie. Four strokes need to be broke in properly and then run hard when new to set the rings properly. I trolled alot with my Verado when it was new (after break-in) and I experienced the problem of "making oil". It's not uncommon. Check this out. It's an older thread but you'll get the idea. Just in case you weren't aware. Beautiful rig- good luck http://continuouswave.com/ubb/Forum4/HTML/001503.html This is a better article that explains the whole deal. http://www.boats.com/news-reviews/article/...e-contamination Edited May 5, 2009 by doubleheader Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjsa Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 Nice looking boat there Lew, congratulations, one quick question: Do you think it will be a bit easier, or a bit more challenging, to land Musky by yourself in the new boat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm always extremely cautious whenever I'm breaking in a new motor of any kind and follow the instructions very carefully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike the Pike Posted May 6, 2009 Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 Very nice Lew now you have to go easy the break in begins. Mine Is pretty well broken in 7 more hours to go and I will change the oil. So far so good I like my new Yamaha 60HP. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
