[QUOTE="Fish Chris, post: 9101, member: 124"] Actually, the outboard mechanic I'm dealing with, told me that, unfortunately, these blown water jacket gaskets on Yamaha 4 strokes, were quite common, while pointing at a big boat with twin 150's, and explaining that one of these had a small leak, and the other one is spraying ! But then he did go on to say, that he had never seen this on a little Yamaha 4 stroker of 25hp or less. So in that respect, maybe I was the "lucky one". One things for sure, when I get this carb replaced, and the motor running correctly again, I plan to remove that cowling every 2nd or 3rd trip, just to inspect for leaks.... of whatever type. My lesson was, "Don't ASSUME" that your motor is all good, because its running good". Peace, Fish [/QUOTE]
