    Hey guys, looks like I have to buy a new vevor diesel heater! The controller it came with was unfortunately cracked (kids playing on the boat :) so I ordered a new controller but once connected, it just gave the error code e-07.

    Time to life a motor up a notch?

    Just curious here.. how long does it take to move a Yamaha f300 up one bolt hole on a pod? My dealer said 3 hrs which seems a long time for a rigged shop but I’ve never done it before.. at cruise my cavitation plate is still 1-2” below the water.

    Changing cold engine Oil?

    What’s the thought on this - I usually take the boat for a warm-up run before changing the main or kicker oils. My assumption is it warms up the oil so it flows better and also stirs it up and suspends any settled particles. I won’t be going out anytime soon - should I change my oil cold or wait...

    I haven’t taken off the bearing buddy or checked the bearings since I bought the boat 2+ years ago (and the previous owner did not do any maintenance) so I suspect these bearings are 5+ years old and have thousands of kms on them! They never get hot on long trips and I did replace the bearings...
