yamaha issues
Submitted by Saulty2 on Sat, 2015-08-22 08:06
just wondering if its normal for the tilt trim brackets to scrape against one another and making a screatching noise when lowering to wash down { does not happen all the time } ive contacted the sales yard they in turn sent to yamaha and yamaha says they wont do anything about it , its a 200 4 stroke and problem started within 9 months from new. oil leak started from 6 months of new and eventually after many months of complaining and countless emails they , fixed the problem.

doubt its one off jas
mine was screatching and when i lifted back up paint was scraped off , alerted the yard they did other work on the boat said they fixed the problem re painted and sure enough after 2 times out same thing again .ive seen the newer 250s have plastic/ nylon packer to stop it from metal to metal, so yamaha is aware

Keep on their case
Send them an Email asking for the problem to be rectified under warren etc quote section of warranty guaranty what ever. When you get Email reply go straight into consumer protection with copies of correspondence. generally the problem with supplier is fixed quite quickly in my experience's.
The product has been sold with a deficiency full stop.

Are you sure its the scraping making the noise or is is it the rams.Try spraying the rams with inox sonetimes they can screach..the paint coming off on the sides is normal as its a tight fit

Same
my new 150 did it on occasions from new , reported it to yammy dealer but could not have it happen on every lift , ended up just putting up with it and some loss of paint on the side of the lift arm brackets , wasn't impressed but could not solve the issue
