One man's trash - Yamaha 9.9 spares anyone?

Post by martincreek150 »

We bought Nalani in south florida and had a deadline (was it 90 days) to get her out of Florida to avoid a whopping sales tax. Yamaha 9.9s were backordered for 5 months (with no guarantees after that). We couldn't find a dealer who would dismantle Hondas and drop them into the hole. So, we bought Suzukis. A fine, clean fit.

Tucked up under a shelf was a small box of Yamaha spare parts. I'm a non-mechanic, but I believe I see a new thermostat, 4 NGK sparks plugs, two impellers and bags and bags of seals and gaskets. I've culled the used parts. I have no idea of the year/model of the old engines that we replaced. Can't bear to trash this useless treasure.

First responder who provides a mailing address will get a small box of treasure that they may only then judge as trash.

Please provide specifics regarding the Suzuki repower for the forum, there are all kinds of changes to the Yamahas that make upgrading to newer Yamahas a challenge.

Thanks,

Repowering with Suzukis

Post by martincreek150 »

I had been laying low on the subject of repowering with Suzukis since I thought that I'd get pummeled by all of the Yamaha loyalists. As my earlier post suggests, we were held hostage by Yamaha and a 5 month plus backorder. We had to repower by deadline. The Suzukis run like a charm, but there are questions and issues (no perfect solutions on boats?). At this point, I certainly wouldn't say "no" to someone considering Suzukis. I'll start a new thread soon, to share my Suzuki experience.
