If you ever start hearing a funny noise coming from your engine read this thread on the balancer gear issues Yamaha has.
http://www.thehulltruth.com/boating-forum/292783-06-f150-squeaking-noise-no-not-drive-shaft.html
There are many videos on youtube that demonstrate the noise before and after bad balancers are replaced.
The issue was for all F150s prior to 2010, they updated the gears in 2010.
I have read on many sites and seems there is no rhyme or reason to when they fail, some fail within 50 hours to some with several thousand hours.
