How are the new 1.9 engines holding up?

Seeing as how they were released about a year ago I'd like to know anyone's thoughts so far! I see one person having an issue that a dealer resolved.
No timing chains and such on these hopefully!

Around 12ish hours on mine, clogged cooling line initially breaking it in, but mechanically they’ve been flawless, so no complaints.

We head to LOTO tomorrow until Monday, so we will put them to the test as we travel numerous nautical miles to different restaurants! We go again for about a week in August, so plenty of operation time at cruising speeds.

After our Bimini run we are debating a bigger boat vs getting wife a new car. I think the car is winning as the expedition has over 250k and will be the two teens vehicle. But probably an AR 240 or 250 in our future. I kinda like the FSH but I'm losing that part of the argument because "papa" has his boat set up pretty nice for lake michigan salmon fishing.

If I didn't like surfing so much I'd have an FSH for sure. Probably one of the best all around boats Yamaha has is the 252 FSH sport.

80 hours, no issues from our 1.9's. quitter than our previous 1.8 SVHO. They have a good roar to them.

Keeping in mind that most people don’t take to the net to say how great something is, rather to fix something or complain about something, the lack of bad news about the 1.9’s is telling. Yeah I think there are two or three threads about three different boats with 1.9’d having issues.. so the lack of “bad press” is pretty telling that Yamaha did their homework and put out a good engine.

I only had one issue last year when the boat was still doing the break in procedure. One of the engines would not start, I let it sit for a minute and tried again, it fired right up. I have 37 hours now and that has never happened again, they always fire right up and run great.

Second summer with my 24 Ar250. 60 hours on the 1.9’s, they have performed great.
