Thanks for the replies, this guys motor has 140+ hours since July 2, this year.
Here are his issues so far:
Twice he was told his lower gear lube looked burnt (he was told it was fine at the 100hr service)

His low oil alarm went off once and the motor was down 2 quarts. To yamahas credit the motor did go down to <2000rpms when the alarm went off.

Do these issues sound like symptoms of an underpropped motor, or a motor with more serious problems.
