Yanmar SA425 50 hour review and first service

An owner's casual 50-hour check-in on the Yanmar SA425 after real use, not a dealer pitch. He covers two specific gripes, awkward fuel fill location and closely spaced forward/reverse pedals, plus an add-on hydraulic top link he recommends. The first service cost ($410) and a mechanic's tip about two hidden zerk fittings under the pedals are the most useful takeaways. Best for SA425 owners approaching their first service.
