Replacing 9.9 Yamaha

[ficious]

I'm looking to replace my old 4 stroke 9.9 Yamaha kicker motor with a new one. I understand that Yamaha won't let a dealer sell a motor if they don't install it(remote throttle and electric start). I'm looking for input on local dealers (good/bad) in southeast Michigan.

Thanks in advance,
Harry

Contacted Chapmans, he seemed very helpful. Won't need to upgrade the throttle control or electric start AND got a 5" longer long shaft 25" vs 20". Hope it works out, can't wait to troll again. Can't wait to have the comfort of a second motor again too, I've had to limp in on the kicker before.
