Best Place to have Yamaha's OB's serviced (no trailer)

[pescador]

Where's the best place to have service done on my Yamaha F300's? No trailer so it's got to be some place where it can be done in the water or hauled out. Located lower mainland but would consider Victoria or Nanaimo areas if the service is exceptional I've got to get the 100 and 1000 hour service/s done.

I would try North Shore Marine in Lions Gate. They're authorized Yamaha dealer and have access to a lift. Can’t comment on service quality though.

Pacific rim marine in Nanaimo is good, have a lift. Both ex Yamaha dealer techs running pacific rim.

Do they have a lift?

They have a launch and are right on the water. Can’t remember if they have a lift

I guess I'm also following this thread now.

Howe Sound Marine is great. The crew at Lions Bay Marina can pull the boat for servicing.

Haven't used the North Shore Marine yet but that's another option.

Ryan Neff (Neff Marine) is able to service your boat at the RVYC Coal Harbour lifts but contacting Ryan can be hit or miss. He's busy and might be selective about the motors he works on. He prefers only the newest motors in my experience.

Beat me to it although they are booking 3-4 weeks out

Inlet Marine in Port Moody has a lift. They are a Merc dealer, but there are lots of other outboards in their yard and I'm sure they wouldn't turn their noses up at a yamaha

Ok guys. Thanks for input. Sounds like I’ve got lots of options in the lower mainland. I’m in no hurry so can book well in advance. Just wanted to start my planning early.

It would be nice if yamaha would make the smaller outboards serviceable from the the water like the leg set up on the 425/450XTO series...

Most owners with motors that big dont service themselves...

It's not you. All customers get the silent treatment from time to time.
