Thoughts on warrenty ?

[Luke Lapham]

So the SX192 I have just purchased 2 months ago has a full warrenty until march of 2018.. I was told by the dealer I can purchase an additional 2 years full favtorybwarrenty from Yamaha for approx $1700.00

My boat is a 2013 and runs great.. is it cost effective to ou hat much for two years ? Any ideas what I have to look at replacing on a boat with 100 hours on it? Just looking for thoughts on the warrenty and what kind of claims people have been covered under?

If you just purchased the 2013 you have listed then it had a 5YR YES Warranty from new. . . . . . . I was not aware that Yamaha would extend the warranty past 5 years (for any price) but maybe others can chime in on that. If it is NOT a Yamaha direct warranty (serviced by the dealer) I would be leery of it. That said, I have had several items repaired under the original 3 years that came with the boat and will have more in the upcoming off season (all of which are listed here: https://jetboaters.net/threads/warranty-items.2419/ ).

I did buy the additional 2 years to round it out to a total of 5yr YES Warranty and I am glad that I did considering the additional items that came about in the current year (#4). The first 3 years was included as a condition of the sale. . . .the last 2 years cost me an additional $375. So $1700 seems a bit excessive for an additional 2 years even if they are years 6 and 7 (which I am basing off the year of the boat listed in your profile).

Yes it's through a Yamaha serviced dealer.. I just thought that it was pretty steep of a price. I was also told that as long as I keep my receipts for oil changes, spark plugs and such that doesn't effect The warrenty...

Considering I got 2 years for $375, I would agree that $1700 is a lot. . . . . . The repairs I cited in the thread I linked you to would not have cost me that much to repair on my own had I not had a warranty.

Two years for $375... from where, not Yamaha factory Y.E.S.

I take it was bought new in March of 2013 and the original owner purchased the factory 5 year Y.S.E. extended warranty. Yamaha allows you to purchase up to an additional 2 years of Y.S.E. warranty when you purchase a used Yamaha from a Yamaha dealer. I'm a big fan of extended warranties, the peace of mind it gives you, let alone the resale value it provides if you sell it while still under warranty is great.

Look at it like you purchased a great quality product and an additional factory warranty. But even quality products have issues from time to time. So you as the customer did everything you can to protect yourself, and Yamaha looks at it that way and in my experience they really take care of there customers.

Yes it was/is.

$1700 might be a good purchase if: you live in the southern SALT environment and boat all year and every week.

I'd jump all over that. A 2 year Yamaha Y.E.S. warranty for $375, the dealer is loosing money selling it to you at that price!
