Is it better to have a motor serviced by factory techs rather than do it yourself?
I ask because I was quoted ~500 to have my new to me motor (06 Yamaha 4 stroke) serviced (all fluids and filters PLUS new water pump, etc).
I have a background in turning wrenches both from Uncle Sam and various other jobs/growing up working in tractors and cars. I priced out all parts needed and have most if not all of the tools in my garage to do the work myself.
Is it better to tackle it myself? It’s saving me a pile of $ the DIY method...
