I just blew my 225 SHO up one week ago. It just hit 300 hours, and I had my Yamaha dealer perform the 300 hour service on it. Then.........it slung a rod through the block. Fortunately, it is under warranty.
It seems that there is some history of these engines self destructing. I am just fishing for information. If I am right that these engines have some history of doing this, what is the general opinion of why they have this issue. Or, am I wrong, and they have provided excellent service and longevity.
I appreciate any input.
