    250 SHO 5yr/500hr service?

    My 2014 250 SHO is coming up on 5 years/500 hours. Owner's manual calls for anode replacements at numerous locations, OCV (oil control valve) filter replacement and valve clearance inspection/adjustment.

    I'm not familiar with the service procedures on these items, though I have done all other maintenance service myself. Anyone familiar with the service procedures and part costs? DIY or shop work? Any advice from those with first hand experience appreciated. Thanks!

    Yeah, good point. After my original post I remembered I grenaded my engine at 250 hrs. Yamaha installed a new long block and had me back on the water pretty quick, so thankful for that. So I guess I need to determine which of the components above were installed as new with the long block replacement. I would assume the valve clearance/adjustment is good to 750 hours now. Not sure about the OCV or anode components.
