I was in the Keys last week and on the way in I heard what sounded like some grinding in the powerhead, so I just limped back in. I took the motor to have diagnostics ran. The tech said I was on the verge of disaster and I would need new bearings. The motor has less then 800 hours. I am considering tearing it down and doing it myself. I am no tech but I am very good at working on a lot of different motors. I planned on getting a Yamaha service manual and taking a lot of pics as I go, so I don't skip anything on reassembly. I would love to have a tech tackle it but I don't have the $$ to dish out. Would I be making a horrible mistake and are there any special tools needed for the job. Would the parts consist of all new bearings, rings and gaskets assuming there is no other damage? Thanks in advanced
