Hi i just boat a boat with a yamaha sterndrive. Was this the worst idea? I have heard mixed ideas about them. Both motor and outdrive work great but I need a new trim hose. where can a get one at a decent price?

Re: Yamaha Sterndrive Parts!?!

Its not too bad of an idea. I have a yamaha stern drive and motor also. I love it. However, parts can sometimes be an issue. The motor is no problem because its a gm motor. mercruiser and volvo use the same motor. Its just dressed with the yamaha stuff. But generally, you just need to be creative.
Your trim pump hose is just a hydrolic hose going to a hydrolic cylinder. If you removed the hose, and took it to a mercury dealer, you may find something that works. Or take it to a shop the deals in hydrolics, and you'll have no problem getting one.
Good luck.
