2001 F40 Tilt & Trim

[Gerald K4NHN]

I just receive a call today that they were going to have to replace the T&T unit with a new one. It started to leak down and at low speeds it would go all the way to the bottom.. They said that the more they worked on it the worse it got and they would have to replace it with a new one at a cost of just over $800... UGH... This motor has only 260 hours in 6 years of use.. I took better care of it than I do myself....These guys have always been great wrench pullers in the past. A total family operation and great friends. I'm supprised that they weren't able to repair it..

I called Yamaha customer service a couples days ago and presented my case and asked if they could do anything for me... although the moter was 4 months out of a 5 year warranty.

They called back the next morning and said that they had talked to the dealer and that Yamaha would replace the Tilt & Trim unit at N/C and that I would need to only pay the labor.

I thought that was a fair deal. Every little bit helps.
