Unhappy a moment of silence please

the boat doctor called this afternoon..my 2003 50 horse 2 stroke yamaha has died. ......

it died from a broken rod in the #2 cylinder.. now i am waiting for the yamaha rep to come and look at it tomarrow. he will likly ok a warranty replacement power head. .

according to the yamaha tech's computer print out it had 1185 hours 90% of which were over 5000 rpm..

even with a broken rod. the lil hammer pushed the two of us 2 miles on the #1 and #3 cylinders to the boat launch..

the lil hammer gave it's all..*SNIF*<wipes tear>

lol

Man what a deal. Now you get a new one after wearing the old one out, by runing it hard, and long. If only women were that way LOL
