I have a 2021 War Eagle with a 40hp 2021 Yamaha purchased brand new together - 1 owner. Everything runs great, no problems. Same prop on the motor since 2021.
Green lights inside, white lights on the rear, light bar on front all wired to separate switches.
Power tilt was removed 2 years ago. CMC was taken off of the boat as it seemed to always stop working in cold weather. The motor has factory tilt assist.
Water pump replaced 2023. Motor including lower unit serviced regularly.
