[Redscouser]

ANY IDEA WHAT THE COST OF A SERVICE SHOULD BE ON A YAMAHA 9.9HP 4 STROKE OUTBOARD MOTOR?.

I have a Yamaha 9hp 2 stroke and the service charge (without parts) at my local outboard dealer is £45.00. Plugs, anodes etc are extra

Whatever it is, surely its worth doing it yourself - if only to get to know your motor.

I'll second that!

When I bought my boat I was given a receipt for servicing the outboard. This had been done a few months earlier and included an item "to check and rectify cooling". I serviced the engine and discovered no vanes on the impellor and water channels completely choked up with barnacles. No way had that job been done.....but they had charged for it.

Some dealers may do a good job, but many don't.

Spend the money on a manual for the engine and some tools.

Ah!........that's different. /forums/images/icons/smile.gif

I was quoted "about £45"

But I would still try to D.I.Y if I could!

Hope you have a speedy recovery.
