" I have a 97 Yamaha with very low hours that shut down while leaving the dock at 2000 RPMs. I took it in to our local dealer and he replaced the power pack. When trying to start it they found a connecting rod had broken and punctured the power head. I have been a customer of this dealership for many years and am happy with all other work I have had done there. Could the power pack have caused the broken rod? should I ask or insist that they take back the new power pack? Is it better to buy a new power head or should I try to find a rebuilt? The cost of the new power head plus installation seemed high and it wasn't a firm price at that. (frozen bolts etc.) The sure way out may be a new engine, but I am hoping to explore other options first. Thanks for your help in advance.
Best regards,
