YAMAHA REPOWER RECOMMENDATIONS

[Samnjoe]

I am looking to repower this fall. Twin 200's and 9.9 kicker. Yamaha. Any recommendations for shops in the lower mainland? Was thinking of Galleon as they are a KF and Yamaha dealer.
Thanks in advance.

Lordship Marine in Tilbury Industrial Park, Delta.
Have used them for engine service, positive results and good customer service. Accessible from River Road or Highway 17.

Have you thought about going with a 25hp kicker?
Think the 25 hp is fuel injected vs carb on the 9.9. About a 40lb weight difference is all.

Do a displacement comparison with other brands at that HP.
Note that Yamaha continues to build the 200 I4 with a pair of geared balancing shafts that turn at 2x the engine rpm.

My old Yamahas haven't let me down in 1800 hours. Still running perfectly. Can't bring myself to switch.

The boat had an 8 previously and it was fine. Boat sits kicker side heavy as it is

I second that. They give me great service.

It may be a little out of your way but Howe Sound Marine in Lions Bay is a Yamaha dealer and Keith really knows his stuff.

I'll agree that Keith knows his stuff. Not sure about pricing a repower, but for general servicing his rates are very expensive.

 

[Squire]

I can't remember what his shop rates were but the convenience he provided when my boat was at Lion's Bay Marina was a worthwhile trade off for me. Besides, I haven't found a good marine shop that's cheap yet.
I did price out a kicker with him in 2021 when it was looking like I wouldn't be able to get parts for mine and he was competitive. He actually provided me the lead to finding a second hand lower unit that saved my fishing season.
