[QUOTE="TheLastCall, post: 445623, member: 23099"] I’ll give my 2 cents. A motor should last 3 years easy with regular maintenance. If there is a defect with the motor it would most likely be in the first year. Now on the opposite side of things. If it breaks out of the 1 year standard warranty and you bring it to a shop for repair, it will probably cost you over 400$. If your mechanically inclined a lot of repairs can be done for under 400$. Now from personal experience (not Yamaha) my mercury 15hp 4 stroke is 11 years old, I’ve done all the maintenance myself and (knock on wood) never had to do any repairs. So I would save my money, take the 400$ buy the shop manual for the motor and any specialty tools for the motor. But if your no good with a wrench or have any experience, get the warranty.
