Yamaha Boat Service Recommendation
 

Can someone please recommend a mechanic/marina to service my Yamaha AR195 boat? The only suggestions I have received are Irwin Marine in Laconia. I actually purchased the boat from Irwin in 2019 but it's out of warranty and I was told I am not a current customer. I store the boat in my garage and haven't used it in 3 years. I just need a routine service but cannot find anywhere else that services Yamaha boats. HK Powersports and DaSilva don't have computer for boats, only personal watercraft. Thank you.

Bump.
I have a yamaha jet boat as well, but can't find anyone except for Irwin marine to service it. I didn't buy the boat from Irwin so they're in no hurry to take it in.

Yup. Has been an issue the last few summers. Most marines only service and store what they sell.

Dave's?
 

Dave's Motorboat Shoppe in Gilford is/was a Yamaha dealer. A family member uses them for their OB. Name and owner has changed; don't know if there is a difference between OB and jet boat.
Disappointed in Irwin of late, but I know they, and others, have had difficulty finding qualified techs. Be sure to post here when you find a solution.

You maybe want to give this guy ....... www.mstmarineservice.com ..... a phone call.

Unfortunately the boats and outboard motors are a different animal. Irwin is the only game in town and their service dept is a disappointment. The next closest is Long Lake in Naples, Maine. The fact that it was purchased there and they won’t work with the OP is BS.

Its a huge problem. I bought the boat out of state and made sure to check with Irwin before I did to ensure they would cover any warranty work (it's a 2022 and still has a few years of coverage). They told me they would cover the warranty, which has since proven to be misleading.

If I had known they wouldn't even bother to cover the warranty a different type of boat. I'm kinda pissed about this whole thing.

the factory usually does not allow a dealer to "opt out" of covering a customer's warranty as a condition of being an authorized dealer. Has anyone approached Yamaha directly? You certainly would not go to the top of the priority list, but I am surprised they can flat out refuse... Also - I notice that DaSilva Motorsports in M'boro is a Yamaha dealer. If your boat is trailerable, perhaps that is an option...

Give Fay's boat yard a call
I believe they service Yamaha

They are a Yamaha outboard dealer, jet boats and PWC are a completely different beast. They are not a PWC/jet boat dealer.

Just about every marina on the lake does Yamaha outboards.

Give me a call 603-556-0993 Johnston’s mobile marine service. I used to work at and rig these for Irwin’s.

Call Jeff. How's the Yamaha jet boat repair moving along? Did you ever call Jeff?

Just call Jeff and he shows up in a big white van, all very organized, and Jeff will fix it. I guarantee it!

Better call Jeff.
