Had the port engine on my boat shut down unexpectantly a couple of weeks ago. Was difficult to re-start and limped home on one engine. Turns out I threw a rod through the side of the block.
Have a short block on order. I need to find the cause so that the same thing doesn't happen again. I have the local Yamaha mechanic doing the work, as the engines are computerized HPDI's, and beyond my expertise.
We suspect an oil-starvation or lean mixture situation caused the failure. No signs of moisture on the inside. What a bummer. I have quickly forgot the joys of boat ownership.....
