Yamaha Outboard Service

If I absolutely needed someone to look at my boat this week, who’s my best shot?
Port side motor all of a sudden started to idle high- 2100 rpm
Starboard motor trim all of a sudden isn’t working- was working last time I checked it- a few months ago. Motor comes on, oil is in there, but no lift action.
225 4 strokes.
I don’t think either one is a train smash, who’s my best shot?
Lafayette to BR to New Orleans

Pop cowling and see if any hoses or plugs came undone. I’ve heard of this happening when hose pulls off throttle body or sensor gets unplugged

Did you try both the switch on the throttle and the switch in rear? They both don’t work?
As far as where to take it I would say Outcast but probably going to be tough to get it looked at on a few days notice.
May get lucky though

Tyler at Nelson Boat Repair in Chalmette takes care of our twin Yamaha 115s. He is quick, very good and reasonable.

In Lafayette, I take mine to the PropShop but I do not think they are a Yamaha authorized service center if that is a concern for you. Mine is a single 150 4 stroke.

Greenwell Springs Marine is great but they get slammed, last few times when I needed something in a hurry I would go to Boats Unlimted on Airline north of Greenwell Springs Road
Both do great work.
Both do great work.

It's an hour outside of your listed range but Bay Marina in Bay St Louis has a Yamaha mechanic who rents a warehouse from them. He serviced my 150 same day a few weeks ago. May be worth calling to see how quickly he could look at it if you'd be willing to make the drive. If you call the marina just ask for Daniel's phone #.
