Dave, why not just put the whole new motor on the boat?? By taking off the bottom unit to put it on the old motor, the warranty with the new motor will go right out the window...new motor, new warranty ...put the new motor on and be able to have the warranty protection

Hey Dave...I'm new to the channel, I live in Kingsport TN and am new to the area. I've taken rides to every lake within 1.5 hrs of here and have yet to catch a fish. I have a boat but had to sell the motor so I could move down here. I love your videos . Me and my son are heading to Douglas Dam next weekend to try and catch some skipjack for bait ( I've never done that before either ) Glad to have your videos to help out.

New motor warranty is voided if you do 3. Then your new motor will not lower unit 4. Let the viewers know what’s going on or we think you just don’t want to fish as much anymore. 5.Yamaha knows the situation and they don’t really care Hope you get it all worked out👍

I reckon you must figure that to trade the lower unit is less work than to just put the new entire motor on the boat.

Now you have two hybrid motors with old parts.

Couldn't you rebuild the lower unit. There's not that much to it. If you do some research, you might find that the gears from different year models will interchange.

Yeah, just put the new motor on. The old powerhead may be next on the self-destruct list. Unless you have some side agreement with the dealership, keep the warranty intact and put the best motor on the boat. You'll still have spare parts (minus a lower unit). I can't believe Yamaha would put you through this with everyone watching your channel. They just bought some horrible advertising. I had a similar experience buying a new Toyota over the last 10 months. I need to rethink my whole buying philosophy related to reliable outboard motors and economy cars. At least we'll see you on the water soon! GOOD LUCK!
