Oh, tell me about it. My motor has blown 3 times, (bad oiler) once at 5AM in the middle of the Mississippi. This year the brain box went out, at the blind, 4 miles DOWN river. All three times it was within the first week of the season. Twice I paid, but the third time I had 2 tanks of gas from the repair. I got a loaner and Evinrude fixed the motor. They should have paid after the first one but I spent a year in the hospital between explosions.
There is absolutly nothing more despairing than being on the water in the dark with a bad motor. Fortunately us boaters all seem to have been there at one time or another and help was not too long in arriving.
Good luck on the new boat, I've heard a lot of good things about that Yamaha. I was going to get a new 60 this year but at 7 grand I decided to run the ole Evie as long as she'll run.
