First time purchasing from Boat. Net and I was certainly pleased! I made my purchase of a new alternator and two days later I received it without buying the express shipping. The staff was very helpful and friendly to work with! I've now found my perfect Marine Store for all my water needs!
Got the info for my motors off the data tags. Entered the info and found the absolutely perfect fit parts I needed. Delivery was fast. I'll be back!
I received some parts (spark plugs) with a different part number on them. I called customer service for a return authorization and spoke with Chris. I explained the reason for returning, and needed to order the correct parts. Chirs looked up the parts and saw a problem with the part number, so he immediately got in contact with Yamaha and solved my issue, The part number had superseded to another one, but the new part number did not show in Boats.net's system. Thank you Chris, for going the xtra mile.
I was looking for an outboard air dam and they had what I needed. For hard to find parts Boats.net is the place to locate them.
The product was available at a great price, and immediate shipped upon placing order.
I made a mistake on 1st order and canceled it. However it had already shipped. Customer service actually answered my call with a real person which was overly nice.They gave me an
Rma and credited me for merchandise AND shipping. All I had to do was return merchandise in box it came in. No Hassel
Great company
Difficulty locating exact replacement. Boats.net had it.
Good parts photos.Fast delivery, items as described and decent price.
Ordered the cables in the morning they shipped the same day I received them a day later. They are installed and rigged throttle is smooth as glass.
UPS regularly doesn't scan packages when received from them. So days into an order if you call boats.net they keep telling you it should be on the way when it might never show up. And that did happen to me. Customer is upset and I'm trusting boats.net because that's normal for them… then I call for a refund and not even an apology.
I accidentally ordered the wrong part and opened the packaging. I was able to efficiently get it returned and promptly was refunded. The customer service through the process was great!
I ordered an OEM yamaha oil filter wrench for a 350. When it arrived it was too small for the oil filter. 30$ down the drain
I have a Honda 50. It had a 14 pitch prop on it. The boat wouldn't plain out. Changed it to a 11 pitch. Now it plains out fast and gets up to 36mph
Fast, easy, convenient. They carry a wide selection of parts and almost always have them in stock!
It was a great experience dealing with you guys and got part fast.
Item was easy to find and in stock. Shipping was quick. Had a great experience.
We order a lot because we are not a dealer. The parts search is ok, but it does not show or tell you of superceded numbers,, at least not clearly. It is confusing to order one number and get a different one. Only to find we may allready have it.
We do not get an invoice upon delivery which makes it difficult to identify which order and what it was for.
Delivery is too long and un predictable.
Thank you for your feedback. We truly value all customer input and are always looking for ways to improve.
We’re sorry to hear that parts identification and shipping created confusion. To clarify:
Part Numbers & Supersessions: Our diagrams use original manufacturer part numbers, as these are typically the reference found in manuals and parts lists. When a manufacturer supersedes a part number, that change is handled directly by the OEM—not by us. If you're ever unsure, our customer service team is happy to confirm whether a part is the most current version.
Packing Slip & Invoicing: Every shipment includes a detailed packing slip listing the parts and quantities included. Additionally, an itemized shipping confirmation email is sent when your order ships. If for any reason you did not receive these, please let us know so we can ensure your email address is correctly linked to your account or resend documentation as needed.
Shipping Delays: All of your orders were shipped on time from our facility. However, there was a temporary service disruption on UPS’s side that caused unexpected delays. We understand how frustrating that can be and have followed up with the carrier to prevent future issues. We always aim for transparency, and tracking is provided with each shipment.
We appreciate your recognition of our wide selection—it’s something we work hard to maintain. If there’s anything else we can do to improve your experience or clarify future orders, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
Fast shipping and Exzactly fit my business stays. Here order all my replacement parts here n always will

We’re sorry to hear the wrench didn’t fit your oil filter. This part is an OEM Yamaha tool, and its fitment depends on the exact oil filter model—not just the engine size (e.g., 350). Unfortunately, we have no record of you reaching out to verify compatibility before ordering or to request support after receiving the item.
We always recommend confirming fitment with your service manual or contacting us before purchase—we’re happy to help. If you'd like to discuss this further or explore a possible resolution, please reach out to our customer service team.
Thank you for your past support, and we’d love the opportunity to assist you moving forward.
