STOLEN BOAT - <now found>

[suke]

I haven't popped the ignition/interlock off my boat, but are they really that complicated? There's no ID chip on the keys for these boats, looks like it would be a simple switch.

Ignition isn't complicated, but man all the BCU/Connection errors these electronics throw without anyone hacking into wires......I'm shocked it didn't just self destruct. LOL!

@annaglad to hear you got your boat back hope your family can get back to enjoying it soon

Man did I miss a story or what?! I knew 2020 was bad, but I didn't know it was steal-a-275-for-a-weekend-after-being-stabbed, bad. Happy to read the boat is returned. I would come down hard on the marina - what a joke that place is.

Just reading about this for the 1st time but being in law enforcement for over 20 years, it doesn't surprise me any. Not sure I like the way your law enforcement is handling / building their case but laws are different in different states. So is procedure to a certain point. Anyway, just make sure to stick with it and fully prosecute the POS. Glad you got it back.

I could type many things in response to this but I’ll leave it to, “Welcome to Maryland.”

I will say this. Where this scumbag gets charged is not going to be PG, Howard, or Montgomery County where he would do zero time, all on the western shore. If he can be charged in an Eastern Shore county, which are mostly free of liberal judges and instead have hard ass judges, he will do substantial time. If I was the investigator, I would do what I need to do to obtain the charges on the eastern shore.

Trailer GPS Tracking with 5-Year Battery - No Monthly Fees

#1 Trailer GPS Tracking unit with 5 year battery life and includes 3-years of service. This tracking unit is ideal for heavy equipment, trailers, and haulers.

Above is a simple and relatively affordable GPS I use for trailer tracking. Thinking it could be a good option for boat tracking also.

Just got word from the mechanic, he is having a hard time getting parts for our boat. Looking like we won't be getting back on the water until September.

Any chance anyone knows where I can get a starboard and port impellers, impeller sleeves, oil seal, and 2 jet nozzles for a 275 SE?

Maybe Yamaha sports plaza in Oregon.

This is usually where I get my OEM parts. Just be aware that they seem to order everything after you order it and don’t seem to stock in their own warehouse or drop ship. The quickest I’ve gotten something from them was like two weeks.

Another option is Babbitts , I’ve never ordered anything from them but @ThatJeepGuy was able to order the in water stern seat parts for a 275 from them which to date have been hard to get. Their site looks a lot like Yamaha sports plaza’s.

BS. Tell your mechanic to look harder. That sounds like the "we don't want to mess with it for a few weeks" excuse. Those parts are standard between nearly every new Yamaha boat.

Yeah I’ve read good things about Babbitts too. A lot of motor sports places use the same company for web design and hosting so that makes sense the site looks the same (my wife use to run marketing for one).

I have a GPS on my boat. The minute it was moved a would get a text message and then I could follow it on a map in real time. It is hard wired to my battery and cost me like 50 bucks with a 15 month fee. Think I got 4 months free on the monitoring if I paid the year up front. Has a motion sensor and real time tracking. Think I have it set to report every 20 seconds if it is on the move. Bought the hard wire kit for I think 20 bucks.

They all technically pull from the same Yamaha parts warehouse's. Boats.net is in GA where one of the larger warehouse's is at.

As far as impellers and sleeves you could contact Impros. They're in CA, but if Glen doesn't have them he could give you the real story on availability. You can use the part numbers @Ronnie provided off Yamaha Parts Plaza.

OR ask your insurance company to total it and go buy a new boat. I'm not sure how likely that is...?

Even if they do that are there any 275s around?

 

[HangOutdoors]

If it was my boat, I would bitch up a storm and have them total it out and I would either get a 2020 if I could find it or a 2021. Only another month and a half or so in the summer here so I would suck up it. It wouldn't be great for the family, but it would always nag me that there could be something wrong. And if future problems come up it would just make me very unhappy.

Whether or not the insurance company would even do that or you want to do that is another story.

I’ve used Yamaha Parts Free Shipping Discounted Yamaha Parts based out of NJ, might be faster for shipping times on the east coast. Agree with @captainhook on somewhat of a lag with OR.
