Will do a compression test upon pickup.Agree. Unknown 10 hrs do a compression test and take it easy for the next 10.
I don't know what they did or didn't do.sounds to good to be true buddy who in there right mind would go through the hassle of breaking in a motor and then never use it? most things if they sound to good to be true they prob are I dread breaking in a new motor.....
I will do spark and compression when I go pickup the motor from the guy. I will have him empty the LU oil as well.It's broken in after 3 hrs, double oil for the 1st ten. All Yamaha owners manuals can be downloaded from Yamaha.
Do a compression test 120 min.
Do a spark check
Check lower unit oil.
Everything else can be fixed for min $.
If it's an oil injected motor, then you will also add a 50:1 mixture in the gas tank. Which will give you double oil, howeve if the motor has 10 hours you don't need it!!!I will do spark and compression when I go pickup the motor from the guy.

How can I double the oil...it has an oil pump and oil resevoir built into the outboard....?
Why would you change the water pump, rebuild carbs, fuel, sparks, and LU with a new motor? Or is just a 'just in case' from buying a used motor?If it's an oil injected motor, then you will also add a 50:1 mixture in the gas tank.

What you will need is a water pump, carb re-buiild, fuel pump, spark plugs and LU oil changed.
No reason to drain all the LU oil just pull the bottom plug with the top plug still in very little oil will run out let some drip on your finger and see if there is any metal flakes or chunks if so it's going to need a LU. You will the metal shavings but shouln't be able to feel them with your finger just shiny stuff.

And will pennzoil synthetic tcw3 work fine on this engine? Or is the yamaha oil the best?
The shadowcast is being sold this week, getting something else that will draft the same even with a 50.I perfer quicksilver hi performance lu fluid.
And I use quicksilver premium plus oil in my motor because it smokes less than yamalube.
Why u goin to a 50 matty?
I thought the draft numbers were a big deal to you being in the lagoon and all?
Is the shadowcast even rated for a 50?
