problem fixed for $135 and 1 hr of time at Cabelas ....they did something, i have no idea what the heck they did and neither did they but it went right into gear and backed right off trailer and he drove it around for awhile...thanks guys for talking me into taking it in

damn... are you sure you don't want to trade? its electric and pull start! only 11 years older then yours, but thats mere peanuts when talking about the life of a yamaha, just kidding.

also could the motor being trimmed all the way down cause it to die out, b/c it did it again yesterday? and no i dont wanna trade...if you had a 70 or 90 i might..

no.

Cabelas entire diagnostic procedure consisted of backing off the trailer and driving it around awhile?

they checked compression, spark plugs, fuel, bulb, changed oil in the prop... and i think thats it..and then backed it off trailer and drove it around and it never bogged once for him...im starting to think its me... but my wife saw it and she wasnt happy cause i just spent the $$$

back in shop....they are trying to do a warranty claim on it...they said its gonna be a fuel problem...like its not getting enough fuel

on my way to Cabelas to run boat and pick it up....it was a warranty job so no $$$$ involved

What did they charge you for the 1st time? If the charges didn't fix it & weren't for normal maintenance then they need to issue you a refund.

If they dont fix it this time bring it to me I'll fix it and if its under warranty can handle that also....OPTI

it ran fine when i picked it up...we will see tomorrow on the real lake in conditions i couldnt check....the carbs were all jacked up and bolts were loose...they said it should have never made it out of the factory like that or should have never been given to me from them like that

You would of thought they would have caught that when they performed the pre-delivery inspection and the running test before they delivered it to the customer. We lake test every new boat we deliver.But I understand the big corperate boat dealers mentallity I was employed by one of the biggest in the country for 7 years.That's why I went back to a family own dealership that still cares more about the customer than the monthly budget and the bottom dollar......OPTI
