I think new is better(but I don't forsee affording new for sometime), but the 225 yammi 4stroke that I gave #'s for in an earlier post is in the shop because of burnt looking lower gear lube.

Here is the history,
At the 20 hr check up the dealers mechanic said the lower unit oil doesn't look right, after your next trip bring it back so we can look at it. Now he just got the call to come by and take the valubles out of the boat, it might be here a while.

Anyone want to venture a guess on what could cause lower unit oil to burn. I did some searches online and couldn't find anything.

Is it unreasonable to ask for a new motor?

Stay tuned, I'll reply when I know more.
