250 SHO problems? - 07/26/15 09:48 PM
I loss power and motor started making a knocking noise at idle speed. It's a 2012 Yamaha 4 stroke. Anybody had this happen, I fear its blown a cylinder.

Any warranty left on the motor?

I think so but I'm the 2nd owner and never registered with Yamaha

That will be expensive verses 75 bucks to convert warranty to 2nd owner.

It's confirmed, blown power head. My dealer is checking in to the warranty. Maybe I'll catch a break, sure need it.

Wishing you a lot of luck with the warranty because Yamaha is tightening up on it, especially if all the T`s are not crossed.
