60hp Yamaha outboard

[cutz1106]

G,day fellas! I’m new to this forum idea so please bear with me. I have just purchased my first 2006 Yamaha 60hp 4 stroke outboard. It powers a 15’ / 4.5mtr fiberglass boat. It has approx. 211 hours running time clocked up and runs perfectly. My question’s to you are, How much more life could I expect from this motor in the performance of normal usage. It has been fully serviced regularly and also should I have a full service done now? Also I am thinking of buying a 4 stroke Yamaha auxiliary motor to push the same 15’ 4.5 meter deep “v” half cabin boat described above. Could you advise me on what size the auxiliary motor would have to be to perform adequately? Please any sound advice would be appreciated. Thank you for your time and good boating to all. Respectfully Mark.
