New outboard to Mulege
Anybody bring a new motor into Mexico lately? I've got a buddy who is thinking of buying a new Yamaha motor and bringing it to Mulege. Can you cross
at TJ or do you need to go through Otay - any idea what percent the duty would be? Also, are there dealers for Yamaha outboards in Baja? Thanks, Jim

Put it on a boat. There must be Yamaha dealers somewhere because they are so popular in Baja.

If it's a replacement motor for a boat that has an import permit there is a process for importation without paying taxes.

Thanks, problem is the boat is in Mulege with the current motor and he is here in the USA. Couldn't find dealers on the Yamaha web site but that may
be my fault. I agree, there has to be dealers in Baja. Jim

I saw a trailer with Yamaha signs all over it along Hwy 1 in downtown Sta. Rosalia last week. I hadn't noticed it before, and my impression was a new
dealer. Just north of Boleo as I recall.

I've brought 4 outboards down, including a 90Hp 4 stroke..
Have never had a problem, but then again, I've never been asked a question going across...........
YMMV tho......
I'm always just taking my motor back after having a tuneup/repairs in the states... Thats gonna be my story if I ever get asked.

It's a problem if the motor is not attached to a boat, a friend of mine got dinged for duty and a fine by aduana a few years ago trying to slip one
in.
