One picture of your last outing.

First time out since changing the oil (52.5 hours on both motors) about 3 weeks ago. Spark plugs will be swapped out as soon as I get a chance. I will give your suggestion a try but will likely have to wait until late February early march.
Any updates on this?

Thanks for the reminder, While, we have been out a couple of times this year, conditions haven't been ideal.
The boat has been to the dealer 3 times recently for the tower. The starboard side tower doesn't meet the base, It's about .625" short. You have to push up extremely hard to close the gap in order to secure it with tower knob.
Yamaha corporate came back with a possible solution. Unfortunately, in order to gain access to the tower base they have to remove the upholstered side panel which runs from roughly from the front of the tower base to the wet storge/seat back of the transom. It is scheduled to go back on Mondy (14th) when a Yamaha Rep and the dealer's upholsterer will be on site.

Sorry to heat about that issue… when you get it back be sure and put at least a tank of fuel through just to test the repairs! 😃. Hopefully that will be the only issue for the rest of its life if not for the season.
 
Love it when this thread starts appearing on the top of the "New Posts List". Means we are getting back on the boats soon in the Northern states.
