No, my timing belt is fine.Yamaha recommend changing the belt at 1000 engine hours. I'm at 900+ so I'm doing it as preventive maintenance.
I also change the thermostat, water pump and impeller every year. Don't have to but i run a lot in the middle of the night. Cheap insurance and, so far, I have never had a problem.

No boat, back in the suds.

I might be right behind you. Just a few minor cosmetic things to finish up and touch up bottom paint and I should be good also. Maybe this weekend.
