Yamaha has another recall out for the 200-225hp V6 4-stroke outboards from 2002 up to and including 2005 models. <br /><br />They still have a throttle sticking problem, even after the earlier recall from last year that replaced the plastic bushings in the throttle linkage. <br /><br />Yamaha is sending letters out to owners of these motors. <br /><br />You can also contact a dealer and mention this recall. If they are not aware of it, it is in a 10 page service bulletin number 2004-010 which is available "online" for dealers.

Re: NEW Yamaha 4-stroke recall

Hey, Rodbolt, welcome back from the big V. I hope you brought back a case of Aniversario rum, that is GOOOOD stuff!!! Isla Marqarita is my favorite spot down there, and the smaller islands offshore. <br /><br />Send pix to my email address. I want to see them.<br /><br />The bulletin is online for you and consists of 3 new "ball joint" link rods that also may cause sticking throttles, just like those PIA bushings did. As usual, parts are on backorder.

Re: NEW Yamaha 4-stroke recall

hahahah sounds typical. just before I left I did the bushing update on a C model 225 and the floppy bushing recall has been out more than two years. but as soon as my picsw get to wally world and get developed I will send some. I spent 3 days fishing in the tacirigua state park. I also found that 15-20 pound tarpon are very plentiful and bite well and rapidly and are the hardest fish to keep hooked I ever fought :) :) .<br /> I brought back a case of santa teresa :) :) . sippin likker:)<br /> thats for the new recall heads up. when I get back to work Ill look for the bulliten.
