Motor making water this morning. May have cracked something during the freeze. Looking for somewhere that can fix /rebuild it.

Cajun Outboards in Plaquemine is the main Yamaha dealer around Baton Rouge.

You have a crack in the block and need a new block or new motor, new motor is the answer.

Call Cajun Outboards and talk to Kirk. If you remember my name tell him I said to call him.

It should be contained to the heads. The water jacket has voids in it. The motor needs to be tilted up all the way, then back down, to drain all water out before freezing temps. Water and oil got in cycl, but if torn down soon, you should be ok. Replace full heads only.

How many hours baw? Ours crapped out at 500. Cracked head. Not worth fixing.

If it's the block you're screwed, no rebuilding their aluminum blocks. Even if it's a head I doubt the economics are on your side. It's crazy things have gotten to the point a $20k+ outboard is a throw away item but here we are.
