Here is my 250 story from this year.

I lost power last year fishing a tournament in the fall. It was not a dramatic loss of power so I was thinking bad plug. I took it in this year after changing plugs and was given the bad news. My oil pump failed which caused the power head to go out. Bottom line $7,000 in repair.

Crystal Pierz did some checking on my serial number and it showed that it was never registered with Yamaha at the time of purchase. That turned out to be a lucky set of circumstances. There was a recall on the oil pump but without the dealer registering it I was never received a notice. They were on the phone with Yamaha and within 30 minutes I was notified that Yahama was going to pay for the entire repair.

I got lucky.
