Yamaha Outboards warranty for boat motors & anchors
The short version
Yamaha Outboards doesn't cover everything, but keeps outboard engine (recreational) and outboard engine (commercial/rental) covered to 3 years. That full coverage is the same as most of the 14 brands we compared, which typically cover nothing in full. Some of this coverage only applies if you register the product.
From Yamaha Outboards's published warranty, checked October 2026.
