Yamaha 9.9 w/ 25" Shaft has been discontinued

Posted by Roger Ford - kokomo on October 15, 2003 at 11:37:00:

I contacted a Yamaha dealer about 9.9 engines and was informed that the 9.9
w/25" shaft have been discontinued. I've E-mailed PDQ to see if this was just a
US thing but haven't gotten a response

If you want to let Yamaha know that they've put us OB owners in a difficult
situation, you can contact their customer relations department at 800-962-7926.

I am replacing the 9.9Yamahas on Allezcat with 2004 new ones. They currently
retail for $2385 each in South Florida but can be had for around $2250. It
typically takes about a month or two to get them

I looked carefully at the Honda 15 long shaft but the cost was about double the
Yamaha at $1000. more per engine and then extra to change all the shift cables,
wire harnesses, and start swiches. It also involved reworking the hatch opening

Honda dealers also have an agreement with Honda to have the dealer install the
engine. I was told if I did the install the warranty would be void!!

I did't say that I couldn't find one. I said that Yamaha and several dealers
said they were discontinued. We'll just have to see what happens in a year or
so....

Roger, give Trapper a call. They said they've got it. From what I'd heard,
Yamaha produces a limited run of these engines each year. This limited run tends
to cause confusion among the dealers. 2 years ago two dealers said the same
thing, and 2 years before that some other cruisers had also been told the same
thing. Now if Trapper reverses themselves from a couple minutes ago, then I'd
actually pay attention

Several say they can and several say they can't get them

I just called Yamaha again (but I wasn't really impressed with the lady who
answered) and they said that the 9.9 high thrust w/25inch is not available. If
you go to the high thrust engine specs at
http://www.yamaha-motor.com/products/su ... r=2004&cat

=Four+Stroke+Series&scat=High+Thrust
you'll see that it isn't listed

I'm so confused .....

Just called Trapper Marine and they are still making them. She looked it up just
to make sure

I've gotten that line from a dealer two years ago, and typically they are slack
jawed yokels who can't read. Sorry, was that harsh?
Call 239 394 8665. They get quite a few of these orders so they'll know what
you're talking about
