yamaha 60hp high thrust

[U4REEL]

Hey guys someone was telling me that if i service my new 4 stroke yamaha 60hp outboard myself that it will not void the warranty!

There due for there 20 hr service and the cost for both outboards is going to be $730

I have access to a full workshop and im pretty much a mechanic(car) is this something the average mechanic can handle or is there things that require diagnostic equipment? also does anyone know what the 20hr service incorporates?

cheers

Mate to start with $730.oo seems way over the top for this service , and i think the guy who sold you the motors is trying to get more cream, have you tried other dealers of even a mobile mechanic?

I'd agree the price seems excessive. The manual for my new 40hp Yamaha shows approximate labour times for each service so yours should too.

Obviously you are paying for some parts replacement, however these should be itemised on the bill.

$730 for two motors seems ok compared to the quotes I got,$530 parts inclusive and $370 parts extra for one 60 yam 4stroke.I wish I was a machanic ..Do it yourself

i had the 20 hour service done on my 80hp not long ago it cost $330.00 all up so you would think that this dealer may be whacking you a bit hard. As for servicing them yourself, i reckon i could have done it and im a sparky, but i cant stamp the book and the warranty is peace of mind regardless of what they may or may not acctually fix under it heaven forbid.

I have a 4 stroke yammy and they told me a 10 hr service is required then every 100 hours, I'd be asking the question?

Hooknline,

The 2008 model Yamaha has its first service at 20 hours. My other Yamahas (yes I'm up to my third) has the first service due at 10 hours.

You can service the motor yourself and if there was an issue that was not related to the work you had done on the motor Yamaha will still cover it. If the problem is a result of your work then obviously it's your fault.
The big issue is that to qualify for the extended warranty of 4 years all servicing needs to be done by Yamaha. If you touch it you will only get your standard 2 year warranty

My Yam 2- 130 10 hr service cost $220 (including filling my 2- bottle), My 140 Suzi 4- 20hr service cost $320

I think someone is having a lend of you ..:o

That's $730 for TWO outboards, $365 each. A bit steep but not a ripoff.
