Corrosion: 

Corrosion is an unpleasant fact in the marine environment. While saltwater is particularly harsh, even operation in fresh water environments can cause corrosion. Stray electrical currents in the water around docks can increase the risk of corrosion. For that reason, your used Yamaha limited warranty does not cover corrosion. Nevertheless, there is much Yamaha is doing and you can do to protect your outboard and boat from damaging corrosion. Yamaha provides many levels of corrosion protection. To help keep your outboard looking and running like new, be sure to follow recommendations for maintenance. Here are some common steps that can make a big difference: Tilt the motor up, out of the water, when it is not being used. Flush the engine frequently as directed, particularly after operation in saltwater. Rinse the exterior with fresh water after operation. Use Yamaha Silicone Spray or an equivalent high-quality product to put a protective coating on exterior parts and the engine itself. And do not forget to replace the sacrificial anodes when necessary.

Transfer of warranty from the original purchaser to any subsequent purchaser is not valid. Warranty is only valid for Original purchaser stated in this contact.
