What Yamaha OEM parts does Compleat Angler Marine carry?

We carry a wide selection of genuine Yamaha OEM parts and accessories, including maintenance kits, oil and fuel filters, water pump kits, thermostats, spark plugs, anodes, Yamalube lubricants, propellers, gauges, rigging components, wiring harnesses, controls, binnacles, fuel system parts, and much more.

If you don't see the part you're looking for, just give us a call. We'll help identify the correct part for your engine and, if needed, special order it for you.

What is the Compleat Setup?

The Compleat Setup is our way of helping you get on the water with everything you need—except the gas.

When you purchase a qualifying new Yamaha outboard from Compleat Angler Marine, we include the essentials to get your engine up and running. Your Compleat Setup includes genuine Yamaha engine oil, a fuel line, fuel hose, connector, and an external fuel tank (where applicable).

It's one more way we make buying a new outboard simple, convenient, and ready for your first day on the water.

Does Compleat Angler Marine carry Yamaha maintenance kits?

Yes. We offer our own Compleat Oil Change Kits, conveniently organized by Yamaha horsepower, so it's easy to find the right kit for your engine. Each kit includes genuine Yamaha engine oil, lower unit gear oil, an OEM oil filter, and the required drain gaskets for a complete oil change.

We also offer Build Your Own Service Kits, giving you the flexibility to purchase only the maintenance items you actually need. Start with a Compleat Oil Change Kit, then add components like a water pump kit, spark plugs, thermostat, fuel filter, or water separator based on your engine's service schedule.

It's a simple way to make sure you're getting exactly what your outboard requires—nothing more and nothing less.

Why should I buy OEM Yamaha parts instead of aftermarket?

Genuine Yamaha OEM parts are engineered specifically for your outboard, ensuring the correct fit, performance, and reliability. While some aftermarket parts may work, they aren't always manufactured to Yamaha's exact specifications, which can sometimes lead to fitment or performance issues.

Using genuine Yamaha parts gives you the confidence that you're installing components designed for your engine. In some cases, if an aftermarket part is found to have caused or contributed to a failure, it may affect warranty coverage for that specific repair.

For the best long-term reliability and peace of mind, we recommend using genuine Yamaha OEM parts whenever possible.

Torqeedo electric outboard parts

What is Torqeedo?

Torqeedo is a German company and a global leader in electric outboard technology. Known for its innovative design, quiet operation, and energy-efficient performance, Torqeedo electric outboards are a popular choice for anglers, sailors, kayakers, and recreational boaters looking for a clean alternative to traditional gas engines.

Whether you're looking for an electric motor for a kayak, tender, sailboat, or small fishing boat, Torqeedo offers a dependable, low-maintenance solution.

Why choose a Torqeedo electric outboard?

Torqeedo electric outboards offer a quiet, low-maintenance boating experience with zero emissions and instant torque. They're ideal for boaters who enjoy lakes, rivers, protected waterways, or areas with noise and emission restrictions. Without oil changes, fuel systems, or many of the routine maintenance items found on gas outboards, Torqeedo motors are simple to operate and economical to maintain.

Does Compleat Angler Marine sell Torqeedo parts, batteries, and accessories?

Yes. As an authorized Torqeedo dealer, we sell genuine Torqeedo electric outboards and replacement batteries, and we're continually expanding our inventory of genuine Torqeedo parts and accessories.

If you're purchasing a new Torqeedo outboard, the charger is included with the motor. Please note that replacement batteries are sold separately and do not include a charger.

Propellers

Does Compleat Angler Marine sell boat propellers?

Yes. We carry a wide selection of genuine Yamaha propellers, along with quality aftermarket options from trusted manufacturers, for many Yamaha outboards. Whether you're replacing a damaged prop, looking to improve performance, or trying to find the right pitch for your boat, we're here to help.

If you're not sure which propeller is right for your engine or boating application, contact us with your outboard model and the type of boating you do. We'll help you find the best propeller for your setup.

How do I choose the right propeller for my outboard?

Choosing the right propeller depends on several factors, including your outboard model, boat size and weight, how you typically use your boat, and your desired performance. The correct propeller can improve acceleration, top speed, fuel efficiency, and overall handling.

If you're unsure which propeller is right for your setup, we're happy to help. Just provide us with your outboard model, boat information, and, if possible, your current propeller size or wide-open throttle (WOT) RPM. We'll help recommend the best propeller to get the most out of your time on the water.

What brands of propellers does Compleat Angler Marine carry?

We carry a selection of genuine Yamaha OEM propellers and Shallow Water Propellers for a variety of boating applications. To make it easy to find what you're looking for, our propellers are organized into three categories:

  • Aluminum Propellers – A great all-around choice for everyday boating and recreational use.
  • Stainless Steel Propellers – Designed for increased durability, improved performance, and better efficiency.

Oil and maintenance kits

Does Compleat Angler Marine sell outboard engine oil?

Yes. We carry genuine Yamaha Yamalube® engine oils and lubricants designed specifically for Yamaha outboards. Using the correct oil helps protect your engine, maximize performance, and keep it running reliably for years to come.

Whether you're performing a routine oil change or your annual maintenance, we offer the genuine Yamaha oils and lubricants recommended for your outboard. If you're unsure which oil your engine requires, our team is always happy to help you find the correct product.

What is included in an outboard maintenance kit?

We offer two convenient options to help you maintain your Yamaha outboard:

Compleat Oil Change Kits include the genuine Yamaha maintenance essentials needed for a routine oil change, such as engine oil, lower unit gear lube, an OEM oil filter, and new drain plug gaskets.

For customers performing more extensive maintenance, our Build Your Own Service Bundle lets you customize your service kit by adding only the parts you need, such as spark plugs, fuel filters, water pump kits, thermostats and water separators.

Whether you're completing a routine oil change or preparing for your annual service, our maintenance kits make it easy to get everything you need in one place.

How often should I service my outboard motor?

For a new outboard, the first service should be completed after the initial 20 hours of operation. This is one of the most important services your engine will receive, as it removes the initial break-in wear particles and helps ensure everything is operating properly.

After the 20-hour service, Yamaha recommends servicing your outboard every 100 hours of operation or once a year—whichever comes first. Even if you don't reach 100 hours, annual maintenance is important to help protect your engine, maintain reliability, and keep it performing at its best.

If you're unsure which service your outboard is due for, our team is always happy to help.
