Add ring free or sea foam to every tank of gas and use Yamalube oil M2

Congratulations IMO best of the best motors. I would install a Recor fuel filter with a water separator. Do a shock treatment with Sea Foam then run Sea Foam 1 oz. per gallon all the time.

Thanks for all your tips

I believe Recor has more experience than Yamaha in this field and I think Recor makes Yamaha filters water separators but to Yamahas specifications.

Ring Free and Yama Lube oil. I had a 225 vmax ox66 for 5 years before my 225 HPDI and never had any trouble with it. You may have one of the best outboard motors ever built.
