blackman charges $2.600 for four extra years of warranty.This would give me a total of six years warranty.Is it worth it ?.

What all does it cover? Engine, Outdrive, what about things like the trim pump, etc? Depends on what it covers. But 6 years sounds sweet if it covers a lot.

Blown Outdrive = $4000-6000 Piston, rod, cylinder liner = $900 each. These things start showing 1500-2500 hrs. These are the major things. Alot of the little stuff ends up due to corrosion (not covered). If you are putting 300 hrs./year on your rig then it would probably be worth it (6X300=1800 something will happen by then.) 200 hrs./year = 1200 hrs after 6 years might not be worth it.Anything over 400hrs/year it's money in the bank, a no brainer. The outdrives are the weakest link and failures commonly show between 1200 - 2000 hours

Blown Outdrive = $4000-6000

$6,800 to be more precise, installed, with props. But at least something on my rig is under warranty now. New outdrive comes with 1 year.
