Brought the crank to my machinist to see about turning it. Has sever gouges in it that I'm not sure we can take out.
What's the biggest size bearings available? Looking on boats.net, the bearing part numbers and in -00, -10, and -20. I'm assuming this is the bearing size...so STD, .010 and .020 oversize bearings.
Is .020 really the biggest they offer? I know they go by color too, and pretty sure there's a lot more color combinations than that.
Frustrating thing is, I called Yamaha directly and the rep wanted nothing to do with me but to instead call the dealer and they will explain more. I asked why the dealer knows more than the Yamaha HQ does? They said they had very skilled techs at the HQ but we're only allowed to deal with the dealers, not public customers.
My biggest thing is...okay, so I get you're trying to corner the market and price gouge the hell out of people...ignoring all those issues, I understand the ****.
But what happens when you have a 15+ year old engine that dealers automatically won't touch just due to age? Around here dealers will ONLY work on stuff around 5-7 years old.
I hate Yamaha to the core. They screw the customer time and time again over petty stuff to get 2 extra dollars.
Anyways, sorry for side rant, what's the largest size?
PS. I did try calling other dealers from out of state. Stopped after one guy told me the largest bearing even available were the bearings that already came on the crank from factory, and I'd have to move up to the new XTO if I wanted bigger bearings for my crank....wtf (if you don't know, you don't know...just be quiet).
