Your Yamaha engine is the key to every adventure. To keep it running strong, a little care goes a long way. Ensure that you change your oil and filters on schedule to prevent premature wear and tear. After every saltwater run, flushing the engine is critical to fight off corrosion, which is a major concern in South Florida's waters. Don't forget to regularly inspect your spark plugs, fuel lines, and cooling system to prevent minor issues from becoming major problems. When it's time for professional service, come to RIVA Motorsports. Our certified technicians use only genuine Yamaha parts, ensuring your engine gets the exact care it needs to perform flawlessly all season long.

The sun and salt of South Florida are harsh on your Yamaha boat. The hull and exterior take a beating, which is why regular maintenance is important. A simple wash after every outing is the best way to prevent corrosion, and a coat of protective wax will shield your boat from fading and surface damage. Be sure to regularly check your hull for any cracks or blisters that could compromise your boat's performance or safety. And don't forget the jet drive or propeller—keeping it clean is key to getting the best efficiency out of your boat. For a deeper level of care, our experts at RIVA Motorsports are ready to help. Our Yamaha-trained technicians go beyond a basic cleaning. We check the integrity of your hull and professionally treat it, ensuring your Yamaha looks great and performs flawlessly, season after season.

A dead battery or a faulty light can ruin a day on the water. Your Yamaha boat's electrical system powers everything you rely on, from ignition to navigation. That's why a quick check is so important. Make sure your battery is fully charged, that your connections are clean, and all your lights and accessories are working correctly. At RIVA Motorsports, we'll handle the full electrical inspection for you. Our Yamaha-certified technicians check every component, from the battery to the wiring, using only genuine Yamaha parts. We ensure your system is reliable, allowing you to enjoy consistent power and peace of mind on every adventure.

For added protection, we offer professional shrink-wrapping and covered storage solutions. This shields your boat from the elements and ensures it stays in excellent condition. When you rely on our expertise, your Yamaha will be ready to go the moment the next boating season arrives.
