rich Posted December 24, 2008 Report Share Posted December 24, 2008 Warren is out of the water having her bottom painted and whilst this was being done I took the opportunity to check around the engine. I noticed the "stainless" steel bar that supports the hydraulic tilt ram was badly corroded. The boat is kept in the water and has been for twelve months and this bar is just about on the waterline. I spoke to BHG about it and it would appear to be an unusual problem and they would send a replacement under warrenty. Whilst it's not going to fail in the immediate future, it would in time fracture. I can only assume that it is a piece of poor quality stainless that has slipped through the inspection process but it would be worth other Yamaha 30 owners checking their engines for the same problem.
