Frequently Asked Questions

What does “repowering” mean?

Repowering is the process of replacing your current outboard engine with a new Yamaha outboard. It’s a cost-effective way to upgrade performance without buying a new boat. 

Why should I repower instead of buying a new boat?

Repowering gives you modern reliability, better fuel efficiency, quieter operation, and improved resale value—without the expense of a new hull.

How do I know if my boat is a good candidate for repowering?

If your hull is sound and you love your boat’s layout, repowering is ideal. Signs you need a new engine include frequent breakdowns, high operating hours, or poor fuel economy.

What horsepower should I choose?

It depends on your boat’s size, weight, and manufacturer’s rating. Increasing horsepower (within limits) can improve performance and fuel economy.

Can I trade in my old engine?

Yes, we offer trade-in credit for engines less than 10 years old.

What warranty do I get?

Northside Marine offers an exclusive 6-year warranty (4 years Yamaha + 2 years Northside extension when serviced with us). 

How do I track maintenance?

Use the Yamaha maintenance schedule and apps like Siren Connected Boat for easy record-keeping. 

Do I need to bring my boat in for a quote?

Yes, we need to inspect your boat to ensure compatibility and provide an accurate quote. We can assist with transport if required. 

Can I switch from another brand (Mercury, Suzuki, Honda) to Yamaha?

Absolutely. We handle all rigging changes and ensure your new Yamaha integrates seamlessly.

How much does a Yamaha repower cost?

Costs vary based on engine model, labor, and any upgrades. Contact us for a tailored quote. 

How long does the repower take?

Typically a few days to two weeks, depending on engine availability and complexity.

Will my current controls and gauges work with a new Yamaha?

In many cases, yes—but older boats may need upgrades to digital controls for optimal performance. We’ll advise during your consultation.

Do you offer finance options?

Yes, Yamaha Finance packages are available to make upgrading affordable.

Will repowering improve resale value?

Yes, a modern Yamaha outboard increases your boat’s appeal and market value.
