    Did you ever wonder?

    I've been thinking about this for a while. Someone posts a question or has a problem there trying to think through, a lot of members come to there aid with opinions and solutions but you never hear from the OP again. Seems a little rude to me.

    belt squeal / chirping noise

    2006 Yamaha LF250TXR 4 stroke. My 250 Yamaha has developed a chirping noise, if this was my Larson I would know that it was the power steering belt but the Yamaha has no belt s except for the timing belt. This is my first outboard boat so I don't really have a clue. Anyone have this issue before?
