Well good thing I called Yamaha and asked about the warranty. I currently have no warranty on the boat because the dealership hasn't done a warranty release yet telling Yamaha I own the boat. The guy I talked to said that I will be hard pressed to be in their system by my Monday service date. The closer I get to the start of the season the harder it is going to be to get in to have the work done. Just getting better by the minute!!!
Relax, go and get the work done and by the time it gets done your boat will be in the system. If not and you have to pay out of pocket Yamaha will reimburse you. Focus on the positive, you have a boat with some minor, albeit annoying issues, that will be taken care of and you will have a great time on your boat over the next several months.
@FSH 210 Sport HAHAHA you must be single. No married man starts any sentence with relax . But thanks, I called both dealers and we should be good to go.

I have a small update on the new boat. The dealer told me that they found silicone in the clean out of the left clean out but no issues with the right. They also said they had no issues on the pond with either engine. They later called back and asked me if I wanted them to take it out on the lake to really check it out. They told me that it is a $150 charge and isn't covered under warranty. I told them that since I ha e to travel two hours to them I wanted it right before dragging it back and it was well worth the $150. They called this morning and said you were right there is definitely something wrong with that right engine. They are tearing into it now and hopefully I will know something tomorrow.

Sorry to hear that it wasn’t a super simple fix...but money well spent to have them take it out put it through its paces.. hope it is a relatively simple fix.
So I stopped by the dealership today while traveling through the area for work and spoke with the tech working on my boat. He said that he is really stumped about what is happening. He said when he puts it in the small pond next to the service shop and revs the engine they have no issues, but in the lake they see it. He has been on the phone with Yamaha multiple times and now they are asking for video of what's going on. The tech has switches the pumps from one side to the other to see if that makes a difference. Just waiting on warmer weather for them to take it out.

The dealership says the issue has now been fixed. According to the service department the intake grill on the starboard side was slightly crocked when installed. This slight offset was enough to cause cavitation when taking off. They ended up taking the boat out on the lake 3 times before finally figuring out the issue. I picked it up yesterday and haven't had a chance to take it out myself yet, but I am pretty excited to get out on the water. I hope this issue isn't a preview of what owning a 2021 is going to be like. I hope this helps someone else with this issue.

Unfortunately I don't know yet. The weather hasn't been great here in SE Ohio and the River is really high and muddy. If I can get a nice day on a weekend I will trailer it up to a lake and test it out. After the amount of time they had it on the water I am pretty confident that it is fixed. They got the boat with .2 hours on each engine and I got it back with 1.6 on each lol. Although I am thinking I may need to rename the boat from No Proplems to All the Proplems haha
