Welcome to the 70f class. if its anything like mine you'll love it, but you wont know how good it go's till you hit 20hr

wayno, i was told only to vary speed every 3-5 minutes for the first 10 hours, service after 20 hours to tighten everything up.....on my old 60hp 2 stroke merc it was not go over 3000 revs for first 20 hours, have you been told different for the 70h yamaha?

i should also add that i am very happy with that yamaha mob at burpengary so far
my steering had a cracked nut that i didnt know about, so they only charged trade price, $160, to replace the steering cable with no labour costs, as they said they had to work in that area anyway, im certain the place where i had my outboard serviced for 7 years would not have done that

congrats mate,hopefully all ya recent bad luck with you outoard will change now and you should still be able to get a good feed of crabs.that spot where you had been crabbin still has good numbers, but on a down side plenty of sharks there also...we pulled 29 crabs out of there last sunday

rosco, mate got 10 there on wed, also got a squire over 50 cm while he was anchored waiting
if its looking ok on radar in the morning i will go there, bit of protection from southerly
think i will see Kerry sat 4th may at Baz's sons wedding, definately wont be fishing the day after that
