I was born a commercial fisherman's daughter in Cortez, an old fishing village off the west coast of Florida where you can still experience "Old Florida" and get a really good grouper sandwich. I went to school and became an anesthetist, after privileged years of practice, I jumped ship to work in the family business - Cannons Marina. I love my job and the view. I am crazy about my dog. Being out on the water is magical. I still get giddy every time I see a dolphin. Often I brag that I had the opportunity to swim alongside a humpback whale - it was freaky and pretty amazing. Fishing for tarpon and marlin make me happy. My life is no doubt boating, but I also love paddle-boarding cooking and travel.

Hi! Really enjoy your site. i have learned a great deal!
Not seeing a listing on this article for a Yamaha 90 hp 4-stroke, just the two-stroke.
Assuming the 100-hour service would be slightly more for the 4-stroke? It’s a 2009 model.
Thanks!
Hi John!
Thanks! We are stoked that you like our site and find it helpful! (-:
Anyway, I think your question might be answered with the image I have uploaded below. Also I need to mention that this blog was posted in 2010 and costs have gone up a small amount.
Again, thanks for the feedback and good luck.
Happy Boating,

I am service engineer for out board engine YAMAHA, in Egypt , Hurghada..
according to my experience here in Egypt I believe that there is a great chance to open good makret for out board engine specially 2-strock engine.
because YAMAHA brand around 60-70 % market share, also cause the market here is just concern about price I am sure that there is great business change here in Egypt for supplying to the market chines brand similar to YAMAHA as engines or spare parts rated 40-115 HP.
If any one concern and able to give enough attention we can coordinate to do a real good deals.
Dear Hisham-
Thank you for your comment. Yes, Yamaha Motors has a large share of the outboard market and that is simply because they are the best!
We appreciate your position there in Egypt and your interest in Yamaha Motors. Here at Cannons Marina our business model is business to customer and our dealer agreement with Yamaha is limited to the USA only. However I can suggest that you contact Yamaha Marina directly to see if they can help you out.
Hey, thanks again for reaching out to us all the way from Egypt.
Kind regards,
Lucylu
