    Intermediate bearing oozing grease

    2016 AR240, probably around 100 hours. Was changing the oil today and found this. Port bearing is fine. Have never added grease. How bad is it (can I run on this for the moment)? And how difficult is the repair/replacement? I don’t recall seeing this last season before I put the boat...

    Hey guys ,I’m changing out both intermediate bearing assemblies and just wanted to show you guys how bad the starboard bearing was, it came apart completely, I noticed the intermediate housing where it bolts to the boat is pretty ruff, should I just clean her up or change it , I plan on taking...

    OK so i think i have my problem figured out on my 2016 ar190 with 250 hrs on it. there was a rattling coming from the pump area. i thought it was a rope or something sucked up in the pump. i checked the clean out and there was nothing. pulled the pump thinking it may have been a pump bearing...

    Smoke in Engine Compartment

    Well I believe it’s the intermediate bearing. Please see pics of starboard and port bearings. How difficult to change myself if I’m mechanically inclined? Do I have to completely remove the motor? Any instructions on this? Any tips? Thanks!

    07 Yamaha AR230 Engine Vibration

    That’s a long time for spark plugs in these engines. It’s good preventative maintenance to change them each season.

    Greasing Intermediate Bearings - New Recommended Interval by Yamaha

    Picked up the 275SD from the 10-Hour Service. I've seen $300 - $1000 for 10-hour Service on a twin. I paid $549 w/ tax. According to the invoice they did grease the Intermediate Bearing as well as change the oil. It also said they sprayed Corrosion Guard all over the engines, etc.

    HELP? Cavitation after changing wear ring and impeller.

    Hi guys, Racking my brain trying to stop a cavitation issue on a 2006 Yamaha SX210. On takeoff, I get the rpm's revving without thrust on my starboard side for maybe 3-5 seconds before the impeller bites and the boat rides normally from then on up in speed. This got a little better (less...

    2014 AR210, 2009 AR230, 2016 AR192 Need Help!

    First of all, what vehicle are you using to possibly pull the boat?? We love our AR230, very roomy, had 8 adults on it one time and still had room for maybe 4 more even though it’s rated for 10. The head compartment is so nice to have to store things. It’s pretty loud compared to the other...

    Leaking oil. Should I get this to a dealership immediately?

    I think my boat is leaking oil at the back of the starboard engine. I was able to get my phone wedged down there and took these photos. Looks like it’s leaking at the bottom underneath where the engine starts toward intermediate bearing area. We were planning on keeping the boat in a slip for a...

    Greasing Intermediate Bearings - New Recommended Interval by Yamaha

    Speaking from my experience, my dealer replaced both of my filters, and said they don’t add grease to the intermediate bearings until 100 Hrs. They did agree to add one small pump from their gun. Not changing the oil filter(s) is BS. That’s one of the purposes of the 10 hour service. To get rid...

    10 Hour Service

    imo, The rings are set when Yamaha runs it at the factory, The sooner you get the break in oil out the better. I had the dealer do my 10 hr. @ 9.4 hrs. I will change the oil and filter myself at 25 hrs. then go on a seasonal schedule depending on use. My 10 hr inspection consisted of a...

    Spring Servicing

    First thing I would do is have your dealer define what "winterized" was and "whatnot" is. As you mentioned oil/filter change and fuel treatment, That's all winterization is. Some top the batteries and grease wheel bearings and intermediate bearing in the jet pump. And if they are asking about...

    Greasing Intermediate Bearings - New Recommended Interval by Yamaha

    I posted the other day about a discrepancy in the grease amounts for the bearing cones…the amount was a pittance of what should be in there, so application of common sense is required at all times. Ergo, not changing the oil filters at 10 hour service, just the oil. To me that says the...

    Thrust Vector Question on 2023 FSH 222

    Hard to pass along information that doesn't exist. Hard to miss that part. I'd reference the other questions that were asked, but again, they don't exist any longer. It's even been changed to note that we should disregard the question that went with the pics, links & info. That's what I'm...

    Greasing Intermediate Bearings - New Recommended Interval by Yamaha

    Dropped the boat at the dealer this morning. Of course it is impossible to talk to an actual tech...... According to the Service Manual they don't change the oil filters at the 10-hour service. They change them at the 50-hour service. I questioned it and they said those are the recommendations...
