| Shouldn't have to worry about an '06, right? Butt.....can anyone help me on this excellent comment from an earlier question, pertaining to the availibility of Honda parts. He said Yamaha parts were easier to come by. Hate to be down at all. Won't happen with a new motor though.....I'm all ears....thanks. Bruce |

Location: Hastings, mn, 55033 | i guess it may depend on the area your in. i live in the southern twin cities area, and have to drive to the north side of cities to get parts for my honda, passing AT LEAST 6 yamaha shops on the way.
that being said my next boat will still have a honda on it!!
oh yeah, the only parts i've ever needed were oil, oil filters and fuel filters.

| I have a Honda and other then a small part that provides tension for the tiller handle it hasn't needed parts other then the oil filter etc that was mentioned in the previous post. I would buy a Honda again and the nearest dealer is an hour drive form here. |

Location: Minneapolis | Castmaster - you may want to try Dan's Southside Marine in Bloomington. They're on 98th just a mile or so west of 35W. They carry Honda outboards and have filters and such. Beats driving.

| Two NEW questions for the panel....one...do those fins you attach to the cavitation plate really improve lift and performance? One company makes two models for even the smallest motors, and .....two.....Who stores their rig outdoors during the winter? My motor shopuld arrive this week but so too is some artic temperatures. I could leave it there til the weather breaks, but it is two hours away, and I need to go pay for it before the end of the month. Motor is 101 pounds. They will bolt it on for me. I really don't want to lug it to the basement. I want to bring the rig home. Motor is brand new. I would hope they wouldn't test it with the weather that is coming, should they store it in an unheated building till the thaw. Am I worrying for nothing? thanks, the boating newbie. |
