Yamaha Extended Engine Warranty - Is it worth it?

[GHolo]

Team,

Factory Warranty on my 2022 Yamaha F200 expires in June.

Considering purchasing the Yamaha Extended Service (Y.E.S.) plan but unsure its worth it - I recognize Yamaha doesn't offer the plan because its advantageous for the customer, they do it to make money. Dealer recommended it, but they likely get an incentive from Yamaha to recommend it.

Appreciate your thoughts on if it's worth $2500 to extend the warranty for 3 years. Thanks.

I don't think it's worth it on an F200 (too solid of a motor).

I did it on my F350s because of their reputation.

You could do an oil analysis and then decide.

Two year extension for F200s was quoted at approx $2400 PER MOTOR! I declined

What does it cover?

Not really worth it in my opinion. A failure would likely cost less than the subscription if you had to pay for it out of pocket.The likelihood of a major failure if the engines are maintained is nearly 0. This from an aeronautical engineer who specialized in failure rates and reliability. Look up the bathtub curve as it relates to reliability.

The fine print often excludes a lot of the catastrophic stuff you think you are protecting yourself against. You still have to pay for the maintenance.

So either you definitely spend $2500 and maybe get more than $2500 worth of repairs or you maybe spend nothing or < $2500 or maybe >$2500....

You are betting against yourself. thats what insurance is...

My zukes came with a 6 year warranty (3 are actually an extension contract that was included).
In my 5th year I had a dribble from a trim seal. I fixed it myself cheap because getting the boat to the dealer and waiting for them would not be worth it to me.

I'd vote no.
