Oil Changes
#1
Went thru a brain lapse, I always do walk around maintenance checkup just before setting out for an adventure with the boat. Since my kicker, a Yami 9.9 gets the most use, I usually change oil in powerhead & lower gearcase every 50hrs. Last time I looked at the timer I installed on motor was at 28hrs but failed to look at it, I had the engine cowl off a few times since then, until yesterday I noticed I was at 59hrs. As much as it gets used I get 2 oil changes annually, no oil filter on the kicker and oil service capacity is at 1 quart.  Its going to be a busy few minutes to take care of this. My main gets it every 50hrs also but the intervals are much further apart as in once in every 1-2yrs. The powerhead process requires oil filter and a gallon of oil but on a Yami F150 the oil drain is located on back of motor for easy access and is a very messy job catching the oil in a pan.
