Yep... not too happy but shit happens... I haven't diagnosed the problem yet however the magic 8 ball says look at the aft accessory drive or the cam chain as telemetry in the last 120 seconds ECU showed no problems... I'll pull the starboard engine out of the hole and set it on the bench next to another new engine and get her whole again... Works backing up... LOL new skeg to weld to yamaha lower unit and a 140 suzuki with just 100 hours that needs a long block cause a lady paid mechanic to change the oil and do the 100 hour service... he did alright right up to point that he didnt add oil new oil after he drained the old oil... the little engine that could ran almost 2.5 miles before it over heated... I got it for free and I drained the oil and filter out and got about 3/4 of a quart of used oil and bearing babbit

Had a Chevy dealer change a throw out bearing under warranty on a new pick up. Mechanic “forgot” to refill the transmission. Wife drove it 25 miles home.
They tried to tell me, add oil it’ll be ok. I insisted on a rebuild. Trans shop said the gears and shafts were purple. 🙄
