Absolutely, just may require a swivel extension for the port side to get a decent angle to pull the plugs . Now will it be a pain in the ass on the port side while in the water most likely
Thanks. I feel like I need to check these on mine. I felt like I was one cylinder down when I left the marina yesterday then shortly after noise and vibration was normal. Acceleration was back to normal. No issues for the rest of the day. Maybe a fouled plug that cleared... But in my situation it is a pain to get boat out of the water
Evan,what year model is you G2? I have a 2020 etec 150HO on the Shallow Sport, about to replace the spark plugs, anyone else out the have a 2020 etec 150ho? I had a dealer replace plugs last time and I do not see any evidence they marked for indexing, is it really necessary😮
It is necessary, the plugs they used are most likely self aligning , the plugs I installed were supposed to be that way too but as you can see some of them were as much as a 1/4 turn off . I did it because it’s a good habit to check especially if you are particular about getting it done 100% like the manual says
Spent 1 month in the shop to get it fixed. I’m sticking with it for now until availability gets better on Yamaha 250 sho’s . She’s running good for now but I know it’s a matter of time with that steering system before it screws me again… 😞
Evan i've been following your channel for a while
always looking for your lessons
I know what you mean by the "no maintenance"
Awesome motors
I sure appreciate it, just trying to help folks feel comfortable working on there own equipment!
Awesome video man! Thanks 👍🙂
Great video. Can it be done with just removing side panels and while boat is in the slip?

Sticking with the etec? How long did it take to get the steering fixed
