BF250 Thrust Washer Failure

I run a 32ft fiberglass catamaran as a charter boat in Alaska and have had a really bad experience with my Honda 250's. They are 2017's and within the first 3 months of running them I got multiple low-oil pressure alarms when the thrust washer failed and destroyed the powerhead. Both motors received new powerheads under warranty and the exact same thing happened again in 2018 to BOTH motors. So I have both outboards failing twice in 2 years and Honda is not wanting to do anything for me (like maybe extend the warranty on the new powerheads). My warranty is up in June so when they fail again in 2019 I am going to be screwed.

Just wondering if anybody else has run into this issue with a bf250? (I know it happened on some of the 225's and lots of the 150's)

Search back on this forum Some info to check out about stop starts and oil grades from memory. Seem to remember that a few of the problem boats were from Alaska.
