Recently needed to replace the starter motor on Baly’s port engine. The local Yamaha agent quoted me $996, I sourced it via Amazon ex US delivered non priority for $au 212. Delivery was two weeks, same as the agent who had to source ex Japan as there were none in the country. Same experience with an ignition switch, local Yamaha agent quoted $200, I bought from Amazon for $us 29.

I really try to buy locally but when the margins are this great I have to draw a line and shop online from overseas. Even with a weaker $A the differences are quite unreasonable. I have just bought two MPPT solar Reg’s directly from China.
