This was worse than expected - SwT 216 - 3 Outbards and 3 Tenders in 7 Years

Yamaha Outboards are supposed to be the best you can have going on adventures around the world. Especially the 2-Stroke versions, but is this the truth anymore? Over the last 7 years, I have had 3 Outboards, and 3 Tenders, and in this video, I am sharing the situation of my Yamaha Enduro 15HP thats only 4 years old. Thankfully, I am in a place where they have a very professional Yamaha dealer and workshop. I can not imagine what kind of challenge this would have been in the middle of the Pacific. I am also sharing my experience in good and bad with my tenders, my mistakes, and hopefully this can be valuable information for other sailors planning on going on adventures like mine.

Sailing around the world in a Bavaria 55 Cruiser, mostly solo, making videos whenever we have time for it. Comfortable at sea with 4 decades of sailing experience and hundreds of thousands of miles behind me. Even though this is season 8 on YouTube, I did not make that many videos in the beginning, and obviously not from my entire sailing life. Before full-time sailing 7 years ago, I sailed several seasons in the Mediterranean, and obviously also in Scandinavia. I had my first sailboat at age 7 and have been sailing and racing ever since. I also have more than 10 years of experience as a captain in search and rescue at sea in Norway.
