My 210 FSH has been at the dealer for over 5 weeks waiting for a warranty coverage decision from Yamaha? The port side motor had an exhaust leak that was causing it to be starved for oxygen on both motors. No one could figure out what it was. I could not get full throttle out of either motor and it was a sudden loss while out on the lake after only 12 hours of usage. I was convinced it was a clogged impeller, then bad gas etc.... But nothing panned out. The dealer is swamped with repairs and I took the boat out to try and run the bad gas down I suspected. But after burning off about 15 gallons at idle, I opened the engine bay and poof it took off and ran at full throttle as long as the compartment was open. Returned it with diagnosis in hand and they assured me that they would get a warranty claim started with Yamaha. The port side exhaust waterbox is melted from excessive exhaust leaked heat. I'm obviously not happy with Yamaha's delayed response to the warranty request since it is completely obvious that it was not installed correctly or secured at the factory. It should not take 5 weeks to make a decision like this. I am sure by the time I get the verdict and get it repaired, it will be too cold to use the boat. First time Yamaha boat owner and not impressed with QC or warranty program. In fairness, I am not talking to Yamaha, so this could all be dealer ass dragging too.
