I had my 2013 Yamaha 9.9 hp HT stolen off my boat last night. The boat sits on a trailer in a secure compound at Crescent Beach Marina. The thief's cut through the chain link fence and avoided multiple high definition security cameras. My boat is completely covered and you cannot see the boat or motor so am thinking it was targeted. There was another boat broken into same night. The motor is bolted on with lock nuts through the bracket plus the 2 wing nuts were locked as well. I had a Garmin TR1 and all hydraulic hoses, battery connections and fuel lines were cut. The Garmin hydraulic cylinder would have still been on the motor and it uses different bolts to attach it to the motor. I still have the original bolts I took out.
There is a picture of the motor on the boat before I installed the Garmin. I have a picture of what the actuator would have looked like on the motor too. The Yamaha would have looked like brand new. No scratches or anything. Has a stainless steel prop guard as well.
Is a power tilt, long shaft, tiller model. SN is 6AVKX1021395B
I have filed a report with White Rock RCMP.
The thief's did leave some tools at the scene so hoping we can get some fingerprints off them.
Worst part is I am only a few weeks from a couple of big fishing trips and now I have to scramble ( and pay) to get a new motor installed. Not sure how I can even replace the Garmin Cylinder unless I buy the whole unit.
Pissed does not even begin to describe how I feel.
If any one has any information or tips please contact me or the White Rock RCMP. Case # is 16-101204
