How often to service the O2 Sensors?

[Gary M]

I had them pulled, cleaned, etc 11 months and 130 hours ago. Engines run perfectly............ How often do I want to have this done?

I'll be pulling the boat within the next 100 hours this Fall/Winter for a total service, bottom paint, etc and would consider doing them then....

Not sure of the exact time, but I'd have it done every 200 hours, that is when Yamaha and most other brands requires a tune anyways, so I'd have it done then to be safe. Plus the boat will be having other work done then, that is the best time to do all the work you can so once the boat is back in you do not require more work to be done.

Hi Just-In-Time....

Gee, where do I start??????

Actually, I have read the Owners Manual, in fact, I just went through it again to make sure that I did not miss anything about the O2 Sensor. Perhaps YOUR OX-66 Manual mentions it, but mine does not.

On page 4-9, the Maintenance Chart shows (as I'm sure that yours does), all of the regular items that need to be addressed on the engine on a regular basis. Nowhere in MY Manual does it ever discuss the O2 Sensor. Also, on page 6-1, the entire Index for the entire Manual does not list anywhere, the O2, or, Oxygen Sensor. Perhaps you can point me to the page in your Manual where it discusses the O2 Sensor.

This is why I came here to ask about this from owners and operators of OX-66 engines, about what they thought.........

Oh yeah, Yamalube is not spelled Yamilube..........

And yes, I use YAMALUBE as well as Yamaha Ring Free in my tanks.....
