Looking to find a Yamaha Boat Thermostat somewhere other than a dealership.

Question

My b/f & I own a Yamaha 1999 boat. It's got an outboard 250 Hp engine. We're trying to save $$ and do our own maintenance this year but are not sure where purchase a new thermostat besides dealerships? We'd just like to find something reliable and fairly cheap!

Answer 1

I would have to disagree with the previous response, don't sell your boat!  Yamaha can be harder to find parts for outside dealers. There is an website that actually specializes in aftermarket thermostats called:



www.thermostatshack.com

You may want to check out their site, if you know the specs of your boat you can look and see if they carry the specific thermostat you need.  

Hope that helped.  Enjoy the rest of your summer, with your boat!! :)

Answer 2

try Marine engines.com.

Answer 3

Yamaha engine parts ,,like all boat parts ,,,,,are pricey,,,,,. Unlike car parts where you can sometimes find undependable cheap aftermarket knockoffs,,,,outboard engines are the domain of the dealers and parts dealers.

Want to save money???? Sell the boat.
