Just got a call from the shop - motor power head is toast. 225 YAMAHA
had only 235 hours on it - mechanic said they saw no reason for the
motor to fail - broke rings and burned piston and cylinder. Motor is 7
years old but I never run it hard. Will be interesting - and
expensive! - to see what happens.

Ouch. Sorry to hear that.

Got good news Friday. Yamaha is going to stand behind the motor. With
such low hours and the tests the dealer ran showing no problems, they
are going to comp it even tho the motor is seven years old. Sure is
good when a company stands behind their products!

Wow! Now that is awesome. You must be living right.
