I am purchasing a new boat with 3 HPDI Yamaha 250's. <br />They have (each) a 5 gallon tank for the oil. The fuel tank is 390 gallons. What can I expect in oil usage? Can the 15 oil gallon tanks be enough for the 390 gallons of gas or will I need to fill the oil tanks many times?

SWT<br /> if all the updates are done it should be ok. however always carry 10 gallons or so with you.<br /> another tip. pay the dealershipto do the engine breakin. its very critical on that engine and in the event of an incedent the first thing yamaha wants is a computer download. it records all the information concerning max RPM and the past 13 min or so of engine history.<br /> if you decide to break it in yourself follow the procedure closely. you would not believe how many we get that show 10 hours below 1000 RPM and 1/2 hour above 5000 with 12 hours total and a melted piston. Idle hours dont count for breakin.
