    The pressure rising and falling is caused by the thermostats opening and closing. This happens on all engines but it is not nearly as noticeable on engines that use a PRV.

    Outboard thermostats aren't 140 degrees because of running wide open, they are that temp to limit corrosion and mineral separation in the cooling system.

    What choochoo stated above is 100% correct. The worst thing you can do with an SHO outboard (or any outboard for that matter) is treat it like your favorite pro uses their boat on YouTube. Take the...

    This noise is almost always caused by a dry driveshaft bushing.... I'd question the mechanic saying it is caused by the timing belt tensioner.

    The noise is normal. It is caused by the variable valve timing cam phasers being dry. It doesn't sound great but it is harmless, almost every yamaha 4.2 liter I see does it.

    Could be many things..... the start of a gearcase failure, very loose valve, internal engine issue etc.

    How many hours on the motor? When was the engine oil and gear lube last changed?

    As yam911 showed, the factory says 5500 max. That being said, many people run them at 5800-6000 without issue.
