I dinged the motor cover for my 200 hp Yamaha outboard. It’s the standard gray. Where can you get touch up paint for this? Thanks in advance

That’s great thanks. The sealant that’s there just feels like regular silicone caulk and I just wanted to be sure I didn’t need some fancy marine sealant. Appreciate the help!

Good morning. One of the cupholders in the back of my Fisherman 216 jarred loose (my fault) and it is held in by just a clear sealant. I am sure that water will leak in to the interior/bilge. Until now my bilge is dry as a bone. I need to reseal it. What should I use? Thanks

The that’s what I thought but not what I got. Thanks!

I just got my boat back from winter storage and it doesn't seem as if the interior of the boat was waxed, and I want to be clear about what was promised and what was delivered. So I was expecting the interior of the boat, including the console, leaning post, the walls of the boat and the...

What does it mean to wash and wax the “topsides”? On a center console, does that include the interior of the boat, such as the console, the seats. Thanks

Best advice I received as a new boater (about a year or so ago) was to hire a captain for a half a day to learn how to handle my boat. You can read all you want, watch YouTube videos all day, but nothing beats being out there with an experienced operator showing you the ropes. Hiring a third...

I've had mine one full season and it's my first boat. I'm still getting used to boating. Docking and close quarters maneuvers still create a fair amount of angst. It's a strong boat.

I guess I touched a small nerve. Dealer said don’t worry. In an email. Thanks for the replies. I get another shot at the elusive striper ;-)

I emailed the dealer. Honestly, I made the mistake of idling in the ocean while drifting (instead of turning off the motor), about 10-20% of my time on the water is in a no wake zone and I have to believe it is not as stressful on the motor as what it is designed for. The 100 hours is for...

Funny you should say that because that’s where it happened.

Would exceeding the 100 hour service interval void the motor's warranty? The boat just hit 100 hours and would like to get one or two more trips before winterizing it, maybe 8-10 more hours total. It seems silly to haul the boat and do the service and then have to do it again in three-four...

Seems like a design flaw to me

The jump seats hold water. No question. Ran into another owner who said same thing. I’ve left them out in the sun for 2 days and they never dry. Fees like a design flaw to me. Even upside down, if there is some sort water in the little bucket there, it must absorb the moisture. Dealer says...

Dealer says maintenance item. Normal. Thanks for the help.

Thanks for your help. This is my first boat, and I expect to be moving up in the future.I assume these imperfections would impact future sales price, so I will definitely mention it to my dealer. They are 7 minutes from me by water, so easy to get to.

If that is the case is this a warranty issue that I should have the dealer manage?

I have Sonax wheel cleaner for my car. I think it works on oxidized metals. Would this be appropriate? Do the other products harm the gel coat?

Are these little rust stains normal? How do you clean them. 1 year old fisherman 216. Thanks.

I just keep the fire extinguisher in the electronics box and take it out and leave it in the gunwale when I'm driving. The front cushion on the bow is not removable and I don't know how to protect it either
