    4 stroke and cold weather

    I have my boat on a boat lift in Maryland and the fishing is still pretty good. I was wondering can you leave a 4 stroke out during the winter without causing issues if its used on a regular basis. Will the block freeze if I keep it outside without winterizing it. 60 hp 4 stroke yamaha

    yamaha warranty

    I know some one at a Grady White dealer who does basic things like tune ups and winterizing motors. If I get him to winterize my F60 which is under warranty will that void my warranty. thanks

    low rpm f60

    I have a 2004 yamaha f60 on a yamaha G3 boat 17ft, and the rpms top out at 5000. I understand it should be around 5500-5600. The boat weighs 1150 lbs. Is this thing set only at 5000 rpms because of the weight? Or should I do something to get higher rpms. I figured since G3 is a yamaha boat...

    Yamaha F60 starting problems
