    gas leaking from prop

    prop and spark plug question

    Performed maintenance to my 25hp 2 stroke Yamy over the weekend and have a couple questions for the gurus. Replaced the spark plugs but did not have a torque wrench. So, I tightened them 1/4 turn past finger tight. Is this adequate? The engine started so I am assuming it is. Also, I...

    lower unit drain hole

    I have a 2005 25HP 2 stroke. I was checking the lower unit oil the other day and when I screwed the plug back in, I over tightened and stripped the threads on the engine side (not the bolt). Does anyone have any advice as to what I should do in this situation. Thanks in advance!
