Just give everyone who owns recent production NEW Yamaha OB 250 / 300 engines a heads up: Some units of the engine might experience trim issues: when trimming down, the engine will be stuck on the trim ram/rod and can’t go down fully to the lower position.
My 2022 895 sports with twin Yamaha 250HP did just that. There is a Yamaha service advisory (Yamaha Info Exchange RP2021-006) which addressed this issue. The thrust receiver bolts need to be replaced.
Fortunately there is a temporary workaround: Apply plenty of marine grease to both the tip of the trim ram and the thrust receiver bolt surface.
