[QUOTE="Douglasdzaster, post: 504491, member: 27803"] Since posting this one of the things I read was the inner seals are cooled by the gear oil while outer seals need water. I also read Yamaha says not to shift while the motor is not running it will damage the dog clutch. But I’m thinking that’s for the newer motors with electronic and cable shifting. My 1992 Yamaha 40hp 2 stroke tiller steer has a old style lever on the side of the motor. Others say to use forward for this and not reverse. Will it actually make my seals last longer? It takes a little over an hour of trailering to get where I fish. I have never heard of this until my son brought it up and blew it off like some of the other information he comes up with (believes everything on the internet). He’s never even owned a bought . Am I going to have to tell him he’s right about this one? 😝 [/QUOTE]
