I don't see a 1909 Yammy that still runs....redbug said::lol: :lol: :lol: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :wink: :wink: :wink:
If it were me ,seeing that's its a Johnson, I would drain the lower unit oil tie a few branches to it and sink it in the lake... it might draw a few fish in the future then buy a yammy....

You could probably get most things for your Yammy from iboats.com. Certain impellars can't be found from them, (like my 1988 4 deluxe - they have the ones for my 1955, but not '88) but yours probably is in stock. You can get better deals elsewhere, but that kills the one stop, and delivery part. There was an Advance auto parts near dads work that was moving, and had everything half off, so we all the bearing grease, 2 stroke oil, fogging oil, sea foam, gear lube, stabil, etc that they had.Jim said:Bringing this to the top because it is time to do maintenance on the Motor for this year...The plans to buy a bigger motor will have to wait because I am thinking of getting a new boat all together...maybe next year.
For online ordering, anyone have a one stop shop that I could actually call and get all the parts I need and delivered to my house? I'm talking impeller, oils and anything else I need.
Im also thinking of getting an online subscription to this to help me through the whole process.
