I have a 2022 Bennington with a Yamaha 150. This is the first outboard Ive had in 35 years on the Illinois Chain O lakes. Three IOs previously.
Also this is the first boat I have not kept at home and serviced myself, we moved from our farm to a neighborhood. No boats allowed on trailers.
So now I keep it at a marina, indoor valet service, where one can not work on your own boat, period. Im told now I need a Impeller replaced at 22hrs.
First launch August 2022 for a month, 2-3 hr, and then in water for about 20hs 2023. Would you all offer up your own experiences and recommendations
in reference to the care and feeding of an outboard. And no, I don't total faith in the dealer/marina. Thanks all.
