Yamaha Boat Service Recommendation
Can someone please recommend a mechanic/marina to service my Yamaha AR195 boat? The only suggestions I have received are Irwin Marine in Laconia. I actually purchased the boat from Irwin in 2019 but it's out of warranty and I was told I am not a current customer. I store the boat in my garage and haven't used it in 3 years. I just need a routine service but cannot find anywhere else that services Yamaha boats. HK Powersports and DaSilva don't have computer for boats, only personal watercraft. Thank you.

Bump.
I have a yamaha jet boat as well, but can't find anyone except for Irwin marine to service it. I didn't buy the boat from Irwin so they're in no hurry to take it in. |

Yup. Has been an issue the last few summers. Most marines only service and store what they sell.

Dave's?
Dave's Motorboat Shoppe in Gilford is/was a Yamaha dealer. A family member uses them for their OB. Name and owner has changed; don't know if there is a difference between OB and jet boat.
Disappointed in Irwin of late, but I know they, and others, have had difficulty finding qualified techs. Be sure to post here when you find a solution. |

Its a huge problem. I bought the boat out of state and made sure to check with Irwin before I did to ensure they would cover any warranty work (it's a 2022 and still has a few years of coverage). They told me they would cover the warranty, which has since proven to be misleading.
If I had known they wouldn't even bother to cover the warranty a different type of boat. I'm kinda pissed about this whole thing. |

the factory usually does not allow a dealer to "opt out" of covering a customer's warranty as a condition of being an authorized dealer. Has anyone approached Yamaha directly? You certainly would not go to the top of the priority list, but I am surprised they can flat out refuse... Also - I notice that DaSilva Motorsports in M'boro is a Yamaha dealer. If your boat is trailerable, perhaps that is an option...

Just about every marina on the lake does Yamaha outboards. |
