A Final Word on Selecting the Right Yamaha Outboards Parts

When selecting the right Yamaha Outboard Parts, there are few things you should keep in mind before purchasing and installing parts:

Make sure you have the exact part number that matches your Yamaha outboard engine. Yamaha has many models of outboard motors that look very similar, but contain differences in performance that could malfunction, underperform, or cause damage. If appropriate, be sure to select parts for your engine’s model year range.
Choosing Yamaha branded parts (OEM, or original equipment manufacturer) rather than after-market parts often yields better results. If, for example, you install a defective outboard part and you experience a severe engine malfunction, you may void the warranty and ultimately end up spending much more on repairs in the future. For older Yamaha outboard models that are no longer supported by Yamaha, there are plenty of parts available to fill this gap on PartsVu’s extensive catalog of Yamaha-compatible parts.

Proper maintenance is important to extend the life of your Yamaha outboard motor and should be mandatory to extend the life, usage, and value of your outboard motor. Saltwater, humidity, heat, electrolysis, and rough usage all take their toll on your outboard motor, but also understand that storing the motor long-term can cause components to degrade. Therefore, be sure to properly store your Yamaha outboard when it is not in use.
