Tiller Handle with new F50F

[Splash]

I want to buy the Yami F50F 4S tiller, and the NT dealer states I need to pay extra for tiller.

Yet, on Yamaha's website, it states that this handle is standard for this model.

Where do I stand with this tiller handle please?

Gday Splash,

I am not sure on the 50 but late last year when I bought the F70 I had to buy the tiller seperate, I can understand it with the 70 as not many tiller 70's would be sold and when I questioned them they told me that yamaha had a new policy where the engines where shipped bare and they had to order whatever rigging kits, gauges or tillers etc seperately. This is apparently done to minimise waste and keep pricing competitive bla bla bla...

Not sure where you stand, like I say I had no issue on the 70 as I can imagine bugger all 70's would be sold with tillers and see no point in Yamaha having dozens of that model gathering dust in a warehouse somewhere unsold, or alternatively having to wait months for one ex Japan and I think ordering the specific rigging kits or accessories in this size works BUT the 50 is a whole different ballgame, there is a much bigger market and as such may be treated differently.

Yes, the dealer stated that "the engines where shipped bare and they had to order whatever rigging kits, gauges or tillers etc seperately.." - even for the F50F.

But, when you look at their website, it states that this tiller comes standard.

THey quoted $9,000 as the bare unit - without fitment...

Brisbane yamaha $8130 give them a ring and see what they say if that price comes with a tiller handle,if they say the same thing flick a email off to someone from the austrailan yamaha supplyer and get into him about misleading advertizeing on there web site and you just might get a better deal up were you are nothing to loose by doing this Slpash the noisey wheel gets the most oil they say.

Yeah mate you are right based on that - and the 70 has no differential listing so it may be 70 and up? Sorry I dont really know I didn't really challenge it - but just thought I would share my experience. Certainly put it to the dealer and see what they say.

Frieght up there is expensive but I paid $10300 fitted for a F70 with a tiller in october.

I did buy the F50 in 2010 and it was a tiller model, not like the later 70 I bought - whatever you do when you order it make sure they supply one with a lower cowl trim switch, I assumed it would be on the motor but wasn't and it was a giant pain not having it, and it is a substantial mod to put it on (new lower cowl at least). Dead set almost considered changing the motor just for that one point.

WOW - thanks gents.

I will certainly follow it up tomorrow.

WHo/where is the Australian Yamaha Supplier (email addy)?

THanks for tip on cowl trim switch!

Where shoudl this switch be located (front or rear of cowl)?

ANy other tips before I place an order?

NT dealer - $10,186 (supplied and fitted)
Brisbane Yamaha - $8,236 (supplied and fitted)

The NT dealer sort of bucked the question on the tiller handle.

Is this F50F tiller worth the extra $2k (granted - it is in NT with the extra cratage costs, etc)??

Mate they had them last year at the boatshow for $8500............

Get used of the N.T......Not Today.........Next Truck.........Next Time.........Not Tuesday......Not Thursday..........Not Tommorow.....etc etc.

See why i had my boat built down south?

Screw em Splash.........make em come to the party or buy elsewhere.........A freight company will only be at the $500 mark for an engine crate.

THanks Dan,

So, even with the stupid 'NT' tax, you still think I am getting raped by this mob?

I suspect all interstate dealers will choose not to send interstate as they have 'their' own territory...

Brisbane Yamaha told me today they will not ship interstate.

Do you know of any other interstate dealers that will ship interstate?

And, what about service? Would IO Marine still perform the service on an interstate Yami?

Woudl you help me install the outboard in Darwin for $$ or beer?

Sorry Splash but I have a feeling that it is a requirement of Yammie dealers that they have to fit any engine they sell above the portable series...

Shame coz I had a very slightly 77 hours used 50 yammie tiller I traded only a few months back I would have sent you.

[myusernam]

in and outboard marine. known locally as in and out of pocket!

[Splash]

myusernam - what do you think a reasonable price is to supply and fit this F50F 4T motor from a NT dealer??

I do expect a little higher price given the extra cartage to NT, when comapred to Brisabne Yamaha...
