I have a 2011 Yamaha F70, first mounted on my 1984 15 CC, then transferred to my 1988 Montauk 17. It is a great motor, but I have had 2 instances where a fuel injector became clogged. The manual recommends adding an external 10 micron filter, which I did. Subsequently I have not had any failures. The one I am using is:

This is really small, has a 10u filter as well as water separating capabilities. I've never had any water in the filter after over 250 hours. I'm also using this same filter on my 1985 Outrage 18 with a Suzuki DF140A.

I've also had great luck with the NMEA2000 link from the motor to a chartplotter/GPS combo unit. There is so much information the motor puts out and the chartplotter makes easy to display. I also have the Yamaha digital tach/combo gauge, but very seldom even look at it.
