doc,
Yeah, what Hamfisted said - my C115 V-4 block lower unit takes about 28 oz - your 200 hp probably takes close to a quart. Your owner's manual will have the capacity listed in it - if you don't have an owner's manual, go to www.yamaha-motor.com/outboard and link over to view the owners manuals.
If you use a synthetic like Mobil 1, you're not going to wear it out, and I think changing the oil once a year is an overkill - but you do want to check the lower unit at least twice a year for water intrusion. Just slowly loosen the lower unit drain plug and hold it in place and let a small amount of oil drain out. Do this after the outboard has set up for at least 24 hours - any water should be at the bottom and come out with the first bit of oil, or if the oil is milky, then you have water intrusion.
Good luck [img]smile.gif[/img] ,
