I stole this from ffsw -

FYI - Yamaha has another recall out for the 200-225hp V6 4-stroke outboards
from year 2002 up to and including current 2005 models.

They still have a throttle sticking problem, even after the earlier
recall that replaced the plastic %$%$%$%$ings in the throttle linkage.

Yamaha is sending letters out to owners of these motors.

You can also contact a dealer and mention this recall. If they are
not aware of it, it is in a 10 page service bulletin number 2004-010
which is available "on-line" for dealers.

Thanks,
I haven't had a problem but will mention it to the dealer. (04 225)
very minor oil leak that and a belt noise from time to time at idle have been the only "issues" so far.

Sandman, I know you love outboards like an itch you can't scratch.

OB's are funny...they either work forever to are a pain in the A**.
:rolleyes:
