Hi Guys,
I'm new to this so please bear with me, but I recently inherited my dads 1989 208 overnighter. Took on a lot this offseason with rewiring the back end replacing many of the through-hulls and what not that had been neglected for quite a while. When it comes to the motor, 1989 Yamaha 175ETXF, I am a little hesitant to mess with too much as I only have one and cant re-power out the moment. Motor ran well last year, but I want to learn more in terms of servicing and get it running to its best.
Was hoping someone might have a lead on a good outboard mechanic in the Seattle area to point me toward where I could run through some servicing/annual tune up to get this baby humming better..?
I can provide more info if needed, thanks all for helping!
-Mike
