Had new 22SLX with 115hp Yamaha delivered this spring. On Memorial day engine died on water and had to call dealer for on water repair or tow. They repaired,,,on the water... a crimped fuel line and we were on our way after about hour. About month later, July 4 weekend....engine died again on water and got it restarted and limped back to dock. Called dealer and they came out and replaced faulty fuel separator. Next day engine died on water at other end of lake and we got tow back to dock. Called dealer....they found faulty part in fuel system and replaced. The first part replaced month ago was Yamaha part and this was Bennington part. Then same day after boat returned after repair found blue plastic water spray diverter hanging from bottom of boat. Called dealer and they sent someone out...who found screws missing....in this opinion not enough added at factory. So......4 problems in first few months of ownership......3 causing engine to die. My dealer is located on the lake so I am fortunate that they can service quickly...and tow if necessary.
Also, just had the 20 hr service done by dealer. It was around $160 and appears to be oil, oil filter, and gear lub and seal. Some posts indicated other work done by dealers at 20 hours...such as fuel filters? I think one posts said new boat could have plastic filings in gas tank from assembly and that is why replace fuel filter at 20 hours. Any comments on 20 hr service?
